Man Pure Jil Sander 1981 Eau de Toilette

The perfect cut. Silhouettes. Sharp and soft at the same time. The art of minimalism. The perfection of simplicity in completion. No one mastered it like Jil Sander. She made a lot out of little. The fashion she created was for women and men with self-confidence and strength of character who filled her creations with their own selves. Clean, pure, and simple. While her fashion often leaned towards minimalism, her perfumes did not always follow suit. Her perfumes were not meant to accentuate her fashion, but rather the wearer themselves. In the cosmos of Sander, women and men have always been equally placed in
self-confidence, strength of character, and style. What she did for women, she did equally for men. Thus, in 1981, she created Jil Sander Man Pure. She measured the man and crafted an aura from perfect molecules. The molecules of pure masculinity, sovereignty, and elegance. Jil Sander Man Pure

The fragrance
As seemingly cool and distant as Jil Sander's fashion, the fragrance begins. Cool and almost somewhat static Mediterranean herbs open the top note. Slightly citrusy and metallic-bitter. Comparable to a precise, sharp scissor cut through fabric. Floral and spicy notes are added. Notably clove and geranium. The most masculine flowers, in my opinion. They weave through the heart note like a fine and stylish seam. The spice and the herbal-bitter progression gradually become deeper and warmer through nutmeg and fine accords of cinnamon. All transitions to the individual notes are perfectly coordinated and as fluid as the pinstripes on a perfect tailored suit. As for the base, Jil Sander Man Pure is pure perfection. It almost stitches the individual notes or rather cut pieces together. A deep-warm and leathery castoreum releases the deepest animal warmth and fuses with a smoky-soft and protective oak moss.

Conclusion
With Jil Sander Man Pure, Jil Sander has given men a silhouette of sharp yet soft contours. One could be naked with this fragrance and still be perfectly dressed as a man. This perfume may initially feel cool, fresh, and sterile upon first contact with the skin, but that is a great deception. In no time, Jil Sander Man Pure spreads a deep, sensual, and sovereign aura of warmth and endless calm. And this lasts for many hours. This perfume is minimalism in its most excessive form. The olfactory language of masculine aesthetics.

The modern man does not need to know much about fashion, but must have the sensitivity to feel a good cut.

In my opinion, this also applies to perfume in another form!
