Jil Sander Man Jil Sander for men

Citrusy opening with a hint of leather to come. There is nothing remarkable or new in the opening. Opens like most of the 2000s generic fragrances. But hey after an hour or so the story changes.

Sweet and a bit on the floral/powdery side (thanks to violet I guess).

The drydown is good and surprising. Do not let the opening fool you. This is a fragrance for the confident man. The sillage is shy and the smell is not very strong but it is very masculine. Very nice woody aromatic. Very good choice for office.

Scent: 7/10 not great but good
Sillage: 5/10 close to skin
Longevity: 7/10 good

Soft vibe and decent opening with a hint of cool classics. But the rest doesn't effect too much; fades quickly to a pale manner and it's the biggest problem. You can smell it just near to the skin.
Poor longevity but doesn't lose projection till it lasts; great aspect though.
But for me reminds nothing special, just a nice and relaxing everyday perfume; just this.

Sweet and smoky yet discreet and elegant. Not a groundbraking release but surely a remarkable fragrance. I'm not very impressed by the opening that maybe smells a bit generic and way too gentle, but the resinous/vetiver/cedar drydown is really pleasant and somehow unique.A slight vintage vibe throughout adds an extra touch to make of Jil Sander Man an interesting composition that is positively distant form the average quality of todays designers fragrances. Good for everydays wear.

Nice bottle.

Rating: 7/10

Hard to define.. The first thing that came to my mind was: Pencil eraser. Rubbery? Yes. Smoky? Yes. Unique? absolutely. Great? hard to tell.. Actually I feel nothing when wearing it, but it's worth the buy if you're looking for something different.. or try Encre Noir instead...

It starts fresh & floral with bergamot, lavender & violet (one of my preferred flowery notes)then goes on bitter aromatic-spicy (sage & vetiver). At this stage, when the sweet musky combo arise from the base (myrrth & cedar)it feels very special, elegant and leathery.
There is no wonder that it is a really good work, considering the fact that Annick Menardo is the author of three preferred fragrances of mine: BvlgariBlack, AzzaroVisit & ArmaniAttitude. I totally subscribe to reviewers 'LuckyStar1', 'Migotka' and 'wakemeupalready'. They all got it right. Sillage and longevity pretty acceptable (above average).
Very good for professional middle aged men to make a statement & also appropriate for summer/autumn. My humble rank 7.8/10

cant define? unique smell. Takes few minutes to develop. But i guess this is mixture of hate and love. May some rare people likes this.

I use this only at special occasions when I want to feel this wonderful smoke and leather.

I tested this once again and it still smells like acid sweat! yuck

All I can say about this fragrance is STUNNING!!!

This is the kind of fragrance I have been longing to find for a long long time, a lovely masculine leathery scent.

I cant even describe what this smells like, but its very expensive smelling, refined and delicious.

If you have smelt fragrnaces like Diesel Only the brave, this is 100 times better.

I might not be the most qualified persion to revue fragrances for men. But as someone who inhales them, I must say that this one is excellent.
First, I really appreciate the bottle design, simple, but elegant eye catching; and actually it first caught my attention.
The fragrance is not outstanding, but as I said elgant, 'professional' might also be a good word to describe it. I loved lavender here, and together with vetiver they make up such a great combination, dominatong above the other notes.

This fragrance is elegant and I agree it is high quality. This is smokey, sweet and a little powdery in the dry down. The lavender and violet is subtle and the russian leather and blue cedar is pure. Very classy fragrance which brings me many compliments when I wear it. 8/10

A high quality fragrance that takes a little time to develop. After 1-2 hrs it´s really nice. Quite unique smell.
I like it alot.

it's smells sour-ish. reminds me of BO. :(

Very nice! It reminds me classic from Hugo Boss, but this is more fresh!
