Sensual Jil Jil Sander for women

Just have vented about my warm feelings for Eve by Jil Sander and bought Sensual Jil right away. :)) For me it is a daily version of Delicious night by DKNY. I guess if Sensual Jil were more widespread it would have received the same love/hate ratio as the violet apple. If you like the style but want to play safer and have it smoother, go to Magical moon by HM. As for Sensual Jil which is actually not too smooth - there is a funky moment like in Provocative woman by EA - and intriguing spicy undercurrent and a bit languishing look. All retains a German sense of proportion though and Jil Sander's style in general, no matter how funky its detail is, the general look still ennobles you. I have read on Russian Fragrantica and here that people consider its base to be a bit on the masculine side, and I really enjoy this type of feminity, and I find it rather sexy. And yes, I repeat what I once said for Delicious Night - Sensual Jil IS sensual, mysterious, modern. Very glad I got it. And no reference to original Jil at all, those who state that must have not tried it on the skin. And it does evolve, don't judge it by the top notes - it's more unusual than that. And surely its color is right.
Oh, I can't stop pouring it on myself, losing all my sense of propotion. The previous time I experienced the same thing was with Angel Peony years ago. D

This is the best perfume I ever had! Very sexy! I love it!

Nice, but after half an hour in became on me too sweet, too powdery. Pity!

the best of jil

This perfume opens with lots of patchouli and blackberrys. The original Jil vibe is noticable on the background but I find this scent more powdery. The orangeflower and vanilla makes it sweet, but not to much. The drydown is lovely, a soft patchouli vanilla with wiffs of blackberry. I like it. I agree that it is more a floral oriental then a floral fruity scent.
The drydown reminds me a bit of Chantal Thomass

The regular Jil was really nothing special to me and similar to Armani Code. Sensual version, on the other hand, is unique and sophisticated. It's dark, weird and strong, but not vanilla sweet. To me Sensual is a scent of cherry stones surrounded by patchouli and a great amount of spices. The fragrance has something masculine or animal inside and it is quite close to mens Azzaro Pour Homme Elixir. Great!

It's very similar to the previous Jil, but stronger and spicier, sort of incense-like and still very powdery.

Sorry, but I found this one rather bad. Maybe it's the patchouli, but there was something in it that I found very stinky.

I totally forgot what notes this one had when I saw it on the shelf in a perfumery today. It seems I connected it to Stylessence.

I really enjoyed the top notes, I thought I smelled some thick citruseness - guessed 'petit-grain', I associated it somehow with top notes of Stylessence. There was also something spicy in the begginig ... And a bit earthy, warm, patchouli undertone.
Very promising, I must say.
Charming, sexy, modern. Not obvious. Different!

But then, in middle notes, Sensual Jil showed a floral accord which I disliked ... Something like a combo of violet and heliotrope. From this point I didn't enjoy the scent at all.

Dried down like that, didn't change from that time.

=Another good creation from Jil Sander.
Not for me, but definitely worth trying!
Especially for lovers of violet (colour) flowers :)

Another take on a new version of "Jil" - this one is spicier and has more staying power than the previous version. Head notes feature orange blossom, iris and heliotrope, and the base is said to contain patchouli, which might exlain the fresh, earthy notes I got on my skin after a few hours. I don't think this is too voluptous or flowery, it is still a Jil Sander - and recognizably cool and detached. I'd wear this anywhere and anytime, it is pleasant, not over-powering, has a modern vibe to it and is a quality perfume. Highly recommended. Makes a wonderful "all-rounder".
