Jil Sander Man

Jil Sander Man is a quietly sophisticated fragrance with a distinctive aromatic-woody core, layered with violet and lavender for a smooth, powdery drydown. Its opening is gentle and slightly herbal—bergamot, lavender, and violet form a subtle, clean front that evolves into a more complex canvas of vetiver, sage, cedar, and myrrh. The drydown brings a restrained, elegant smokiness, with a leathery powdery richness that gives it a vintage, understated character. While not loud or aggressive, it carries a distinctive presence—particularly in close encounters or on clothing—where its allure unfolds over time. The scent is often described as refined, elegant, and quietly masculine, though some perceive it as more unisex or even feminine due to the violet and powdery accord. Its projection is moderate, and longevity is moderate to long, with notable depth developing after a few hours. It performs best in autumn and winter, and many find it well-suited for professional or formal settings.
