Stylessence Jil Sander for women

Stylessence radiates an oriental character that could also be woody and floral. There are also spicy and fruity undertones that give this fragrance a feeling of balanced fullness.

Freesia is the main player warmed by woody spice and leafy nuances. Orange is warm and earthy, rather than juicy and bright.

I absolutely love the amber drydown with smooth, mellow cushions of musk and wood. Warm, sophistication with quiet tenacity and resolve.

I can't help but like this perfume though I don't love it. It's almost like the floral scent is a bit scour? Lasts well, but I'm not in love with it..on me anyway.

Stylessence seemed to me an intensified version of Jil Sander Sun - which I love a lot. It doesn't change much from the beginning to the end, there are only very subtle flicks and they prevent Stylessence from being boring. I agree with other reviews below, it is a sophisticated fragrance. And the bottle is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l, just beautiful, I really like Jil Sander's minimalism.

Add: It's quite long lasting. It's been 8 hours and I can still smell it. Very good.

i think its very sophisticated perfume new and modern if i buy become my signature fume i most have it

if you miss it try " bellissima parfume intense" by blumarine, i think they are totaly identical ( ok..maybe almost)

Every single fragrance Jil Sander created is the best in the world. Stylessence is my favorite among other Jil's parfume, it suits strong and beautiful women and at the same time it essential. Use it and you fell like a queen. I flew for Jil's perfumes from Moscow to Berlin or Frankfurt, I flew for her perfume from Tokyo, Japan and from China, now I order it to all my friends flying to Europe from the USA and don't buy any perfume at all besides Jils. I hope you will as well.

One of my favourite scents for wintertime. Warm and comforting like a cashmere sweater you're wearing close to your skin.
The combination of freesia and cardemom work very well in the opening. I do smell vanilla but don't see it in the notes. I bought this smelling Style and Stylessence and found Stylessence much better, longer lasting and very suitable on a cold day. I usually never buy the same perfume twice and I don't know what I will do once this bottle is finished. I think I would miss it and I will buy it again. It's something you want to smell and wear in winter.

Stylessence is oriental spicy scent. Winter is the only time of year when this black bottle with oily black filling is suited.

Opening of Stylessence is strong and herbal. Has unexpected medicinal aura, I felt like having cough syrup on my skin. Or menthol cream for rubbing aching back. Reminded me also on sour alcohol liqueur with hidden sugar in the last drop. I have experienced bizarre and hospital impression from Stylessence in first two hours. Didn`t like it one tiny bit.

However the dry down is quite pleasing and calm, powdery and floral. Peaceful and warm. I recommend it to those who search for spicy, unusual and strong perfume. This might be the one!

It is dark, mystical, intense version of Style...and I love it!!! I am wearing it now as a body cream which is by the way excellent.

This scent developes great on my skin.Powdery and really delicious.I like it very much.And my husband,too.

I tried this and after about 15 minutes I couldn't smell anything on me. I expected this to be alot more intense. I know the body sometimes gets used to a familiar smell and so switches off to it but no one else could smell it either. I find the original Style much stronger. Well disappointed :(

So i tested this one because i thought maybe its similar to Style, but thats not right at least on the beginning. Stylessence smells like bitter medicine, its very awful, i dont smell any flower, it gaves me headache after the first smell, i was really happy when i could wash it off and after 3 times washing my wrist and some hours its similar to Style, but nothing for me though, i prefer the normal Style-version. The nice thing is the bottle, modern in black.

Stylessence is very strong but lovely perfume...
It reminds me Alien TM! It is like mixture of Style and Alien...
I checked and both Alien and Stylessence has the same notes: jasmin, woodsy notes and amber.
It is more woody oriental...
I wouldn't say it is everyday scent, maybe for winter..I'd rather see it as evening/going out scent...everyday - only for strong-minded women.

not bad, I'm wearing this pretty nicely right now while I'm writing this review. It can be an 'office' scent, a smothered 'Notorious' by Ralph Lauren would smell like this, I imagine. But I don't think I'm going to by this

It's a typical powdery scent - it doesn't remind me of the original "Style" too much but it's a nice little everyday-fragrance. The problem is that it's rounded up and not very distinctive - like a mix of some different fragrances. (a bit like Burberry)

this is a very sophisticated perfume, more fuity than floral. it is very new, modern, long lasting and soft. I will recommend it to young, determined women.Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference!
