Sun

Jil Sander Sun is a warm, creamy, and deeply balsamic fragrance that evokes memories of sun-kissed skin and vintage sun tan lotions. Its opening is strong and slightly medicinal, with rich notes of benzoin, vanilla, and amber that envelop the senses. Over time, it evolves into a soft, powdery, and slightly sweet bouquet, reminiscent of a high-end body cream or talcum powder. While it carries a subtle citrusy freshness initially, this fades quickly beneath the dominant vanilla-amber base. The scent is predominantly oriental, with floral and spicy undertones that lend it complexity without making it feel overly sweet. Its strength and longevity give it a bold presence that many associate with the early 1990s, making it ideal for cooler seasons or evenings, though opinion varies on its summer suitability. It is often described as being more sophisticated, retro, and “unisex” than strictly feminine, with projections that linger well into the night.
