Juicy Blackberries and Powdery White Florals
Jil Sander's Sensual Jil was discontinued in Australian department stores before I even had time to blink. For months I had lamented over not having tested it when I had the chance. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Sensual Jil in a discount store, (Cosmetics Fragrance Direct to be exact), which I assume is the only store that still has some left-over Jil Sander stock.
I do like this perfume, however I must admit that I prefer its predecessor, Jil by Jil Sander. This flanker is more on the fruity side of things, and is less powdery.
Sensual Jil opens with rich, juicy blackberries. The fruity top notes fade quickly into a smooth and powdery orange blossom heart. I find this blend to be more mysterious than sensual. It's also quite a subtle fragrance.
The patchouli and vanilla in the base, smell fantastic together. It smells dusty, earthy and a tad sweet. There's no denying that Jil Sander has a knack for creating beautiful, quality scents. I just wish that Australia wasn't discontinuing the brand. Soon the only place to find this fragrance will be online.
Sensual Jil has a fairly light projection, however the longevity is good. I would more than likely recommend this fragrance for wear during Winter and Autumn. I must also add that I love the chic, black bottle design.
