Strictly Fresh

Jil Sander · 2018

Fresh · Floral · Synthetic

Jil Sander Strictly Fresh is a men's fragrance that sets a fresh opening of cardamom, grapefruit and bergamot over a woody base of vetiver and frankincense. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and is noticed mostly by those nearby. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It opens fresh and spicy with cardamom and grapefruit, softened a little by bergamot. The heart brings vetiver absolute and orange blossom for a floral turn, and it dries down on frankincense, suede and patchouli. Powdery and creamy shades round out the accords.

Sun Men Lavender & Vetiver

6.3

Jil Sander · 2021

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jil Sander Sun Men Lavender & Vetiver is a fresh, green men's fragrance that opens with rosemary and lavender and dries down to vetiver. Longevity is rated weak and sillage moderate, so it stays close and unobtrusive through the day. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and sport, with office use not far behind. Few choose it for evenings or nights out. Rosemary and lavender up top give a citrusy, aquatic freshness. Eucalyptus carries that coolness through the heart, and vetiver leaves a woody, green base. Floral, lightly sweet and fruity touches soften the fougère character. Adidas Chill Zone and Salvatore Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale have a close profile.

In the base, tonka bean, benzoin and vanilla sweeten and soften it, with a faint spicy edge in the background. Nishane Florane and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Black Tea

7.2

Jil Sander · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Synthetic

Jil Sander Black Tea is a unisex scent with a floral, sweet core and a spicy, woody, lightly smoky edge. Black tea, Chinese osmanthus and Sri Lankan cinnamon read together: the osmanthus sweetness is balanced by the dry side of the tea, cinnamon adds warmth, and aldehydes give a bright, slightly synthetic sheen. Resinous and leathery tones stay in the background. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards leisure time and nights out, and works at the office too. It doesn't tilt masculine or feminine.

8.3

Jil Sander · 2008

Fresh · Floral · Green

Jil Sander Scent 79 Man is a woody men's fragrance that pairs a fresh, green side with floral, spicy and leathery tones; it has been discontinued. It opens with angelica, clary sage and frankincense, giving a green, spicy and slightly resinous start. Jasmine, violet and orris root add a soft floral heart. Sandalwood, leather and vetiver settle the scent onto a woody, animalic base. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters place it first in leisure and daytime wear, then night-out and evening use, with office wear close behind. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros (Eau de Toilette) and Illuminum Piper Leather have a similar profile.

Coffea

7.1

Jil Sander · 2025

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Jil Sander Coffea is a unisex scent that sets coffee on a floral, powdery base, with a sweet, gourmand side that leads. Coffee and aldehydes come together, while orris root adds a powdery, creamy and slightly earthy softness. Peru balsam brings a resinous, spicy warmth, and the woody and floral accords keep the sweetness in check. The scent reads as one whole from start to finish. Voters find both longevity and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It suits men and women alike and fits those who enjoy powdery gourmand scents. Its profile is close to Guerlain Patchouli Paris and Chanel Coromandel.

Lily

7.3

Jil Sander · 2026

Fresh · Floral · Green

Jil Sander Lily is a fresh, green floral that pairs jasmine, cypress and the sweet, resinous warmth of benzoin, and it is worn as a unisex fragrance. Voters rate Lily's longevity and sillage as good, though the number of votes is small, so that impression is not yet firm. Its profile does not lean to one gender and sits comfortably on both women and men. Jasmine sambac leads, cypress draws a green, woody line, and aldehydes keep the scent bright and fresh. Siam benzoin adds a soft, sweet, resinous note, with a faint spicy and smoky tone in the background.

6.5

Jil Sander · 2004

Fresh · Citrus · Aquatic

Jil Sander Sander for Men Summer Cologne is a fresh, citrusy and aquatic scent for men, a light summer cologne suited to daytime wear, and it has been discontinued. Florida grapefruit and myrtle give it a bright, green citrus feel. Cypress and cashmere wood form a woody frame, while pepper adds a spicy, slightly synthetic edge. The notes read as one whole, and the aquatic side never turns heavy. Longevity and sillage are rated weak, which suits a cologne this light. Voters place it mostly in daily, leisure, business and sport use, with evening and night out far behind. Most call it masculine, though some find it feminine. Tom Ford Costa Azzurra Acqua and Karl Lagerfeld Bois de Cyprès have a close profile.

Sun Men Fresh

7.5

Jil Sander · 2008

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jil Sander Sun Men Fresh is a fresh, citrusy men's fragrance with an aquatic lightness; it has been discontinued. Bergamot and seawater come first, followed by frangipani, geranium and cardamom in the heart. The floral and green tones keep it cool, while a fruity edge sweetens it slightly. Musk and amber in the base settle it onto a soft, warm footing. Its longevity is rated moderate, though that view rests on only a few votes. It reads as masculine, and its fresh aquatic character suits easy, light everyday wear. Acqua di Hamburg Alster and Calvin Klein CK One (Eau de Toilette) share a close profile.

Pure Intense

6.8

Jil Sander · 2008

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jil Sander Pure Intense is a fresh, floral women's fragrance built on jasmine and geranium, softened by patchouli and musk; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as a single, undivided whole. Jasmine carries the floral side, geranium adds a green freshness, and patchouli sits behind with a faint earthy depth. Citrus and fruity touches keep it bright, while the musk brings a powdery, creamy softness. Longevity is moderate and sillage is good, though the number of votes is small, so those impressions are best taken with caution. It is made for women and its fresh, powdery build leans towards daytime wear. Xerjoff Accento and Avon Summer White have a close profile.

Aldehydes carry it into a bright, synthetic-clean feel, while Australian sandalwood lays a dry, woody base underneath. Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these impressions are tentative.

Smoke

7.3

Jil Sander · 2025

Fresh · Green · Sweet

Jil Sander Smoke is a smoky, woody unisex fragrance built around Spanish cade juniper, aldehydes and cedarwood. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Cade juniper and cedarwood form a dry, smoky backbone; aldehydes add a fresh, slightly synthetic brightness, and elemi resin brings a resinous warmth. Green, spicy and powdery tones stay in the background, with a leathery shadow and a touch of sweetness rounding it out. Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine.
