Jil Sander Woman III is a floral, green and spicy chypre with a classic, composed character, aimed at women. It has been discontinued.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though spring is not far behind. It leans towards night outs and evenings, and also gets votes for daily wear and the office. Voters mostly call it feminine, then classic.
It opens with aldehydes, bergamot, nutmeg and hyacinth, with pepper and coriander adding a spicy edge. The heart builds a floral body of tuberose, jasmine and rose, softened by honey. The base of vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss gives a woody, earthy footing. Clinique Aromatics Elixir and Fendi Fendi (1987) share a close profile.
