The angry man
Can four listed components capture a state of mind, indeed a character trait?
And, for example, olfactorily trace the urge to roar out a deep-seated tension in the shabbily short window of constricted freedom?

Two questions are posed to the second man in the fragrance series, he will answer them convincingly.

Here now is the apparent discord of a troubled period of time.

Hiss!

Resinous benzoin in the greeting.
Now easily found in oriental fragrances, in 1982 it was the ultimate slap in the face.
Boy, open your eyes!

Certainly, a certain citric background with spectral, herbaceous aspects is evidence of well thought-out creative artistry. But what counts here is the raw, woody nature.
Can't you see the wood for the trees?

This resin is so exposed that its sweet side disappears completely in the shade.
Slightly salty, a bead of good Ambras sweat will put it in a fighting mood.
Hunter's fences want to be jumped over and a high seat climbed.
The view is sharpened.
Watch out, my friend!

Once at the top, introspection begins.
Cultivated animalism creeps warmly up the leather jacket.
Nature has been tamed, that's the way it is.
Light oakmoss with a hint of sorrel frees the pores of the skin to draw that naturally tart, spicy masculinity from the body's glands.
The dignified underlining of the body.
The rope act of rutting self-control.
The social acceptance of the three-day beard.

The fact that the fragrance does not drift into unbridled brutality is thanks to a noble iris.
German iris?
Quite possibly.
But it is not its lovely purple blossom that is allowed to mediate here, no, its rhizome is extracted nobility.
Soothing, soothing in confidence, the divine messengers accompany the second man.
Lightly powdery, subtly floral and with a hint of golden amber.
The emotional state is ordered and soothed.

There he stands, full of inner performance and in control.

For thus the fragrance will settle, balancing the harsh contrasts.

By the limited time window mentioned above, I mean the mood of the period 1982 to 1984.
There was a lot of change in the air.
Not only the replacement of Helmut Schmidt and the confirmation of Helmut Kohl, the nuclear armament, the initial digitalization and the accompanying change in the production process.
A certain new romantic urge and search for freedom on forest-lined country roads spread.
The motorcycle achieved cult status.
And in leather clothing, even if it was just a leather jacket, it was possible to endure along the fir trees and find oneself again.

Apart from the lovely NDW - Neue Deutsche Welle - Spliff created a different and more profound understanding of current affairs for a brief moment.
Their song "Herzlichen Glückwunsch" illustrates for me the inner soul of Man Two.
The video couldn't be more fitting.

In his review, Lancaster85 describes perfectly the exquisite range of care products with which this splendor of fragrance was equipped.
At that time, all Jil Sander fragrances were produced in Wiesbaden.

As fashionable as the 1980s decade was, the market presence of the second man remained short-lived.

But the urge for the forest was fortunately not subject to a fleeting fashion.
And that man could beguile again today with his romantic streak.

Fly me to the moon with the scented rocket from Jil
Scent lovers, I can do the prologue to the one thing I'm good at: I am the lucky owner of this power scent. The scent of the nozzles of the rocket that flew on the moon and unfortunately never returned is resinous and smoky. What a shame for the fragrance of this unforgettable mixture of adventure and cosiness, which tells legends in convivial company around the campfire. Granted: It's a heavy, warm spicy scent, which tells more and more legends and stories from hour to hour. But isn't that the job of fragrances? It is one of the fragrances of the century, and the generation that was allowed to shave for the first time in the 80s had this classic on the bedside table of those who were already a bit of a household name back then. This is still true today
