Jil Sander Scent 79 Man Jil Sander for men

This one was starts out as a dry/smoky fragrance, granted by sage and incense. Bad? No, but isn't good as well.
Trough time, the floral heart appears, giving a new aspect to this fragrance, but it doesn't last long...
At the base we finally have a hint of vetiver dominated by a leather smell, which in my opinion, is the best part of this fragrance. Longevity and projection isn't that good when we are talking about Scent 79... Overall, this is pass to me.

This is a new scent (along with the women's version) to commemorate the anniversary of Jil Sander's fashion house: 30th anniv 1979-2009. While it pays homage to the original Jil Sander men's fragrances it is actually an entirely new composition that could best be described as woody-incense along the lines of the CDG Incense series. Not at all a retro composition as one might think of late '70's scents, but rather very much in keeping with the current incense craze. I sometimes think of it as a Lalique Encre Noir "Extreme". There are also two markets for Jil Sander fragrances - currently run by Coty out of their European offices (Europe and Asia), not all of the scents are available on the American market.

Oh my, I got it by mistake instead of Jil Sander Man, and what a trick.. this is really the seventies, old and unmemorable, the kinda scent you'd see your father and grandfather wearing...
Wrong choice for sure

For as far as I know, Scent 79, unlike Jil Sander Woman III and Bath and Beauty, is on their official website. Although it is from 1979, it is a current release.
But there's something strange with the Jil Sander scents..it is as if they come and go. Where shop-owners tell me that a Jil Sander-scent is 'off the market' (like for instance is the case with Jil Sander Woman III), Coty (who took over from Lancaster)tells me that it is still available...
Jil Sander Woman III has been away before and after it's come-back, again is now hard to get.
Here in the Netherlands I've not yet seen scent 79, neither for women nor for men...(excuse my English..)

How much of a difference is there to Jil Sander Man? Does anybody here have this scent and can they let me know if this is now a dated scent?
