Reviews of Jil Sander Man Pure (original) ![]() bhanny United StatesShow all reviews | This is just amazing. SirSlarty mentions a smokiness, and its ever present, and its lovely. Smells like birch tar or cade. There is a wiff of citrus in the top, but just a wiff. Definitely some nice herbs. Lots of oakmoss. Ends with leather. This is not a sillage monster. But lasts a good deal of time on the skin, and the drydown is really nice. 28th January, 2012. |
![]() SirSlarty United StatesShow all reviews | Smells like pure amazing. Very green and mossy and smokey. It's like a classic okamoss chypre with smoke added. Not cigarette smoke or charcoal smoke. Like herbs that's smoldering and emitting a fine powder. Excellent. 18th December, 2009. |
![]() asalah EgyptShow all reviews | Hello, this is my very first review in Basenotes.Actually i adore Jil Sander's both Feeling Man and ManPure. Both unfortunately are discontinued but i managed to get 2 bottles of man pure 125ml each. My disappointment comes from man pure does not have any staying power at all; it lasts almost one hour then no trace. 22nd May, 2008. |

| the_good_life GermanyShow all reviews | My second long-term fragrance after growing tired of Azzaro. And what a change. Where Azzaro is all chest-haired Burt Reynolds 70s, this represented the good side of the eighties - like Sander's couture: clear lines, black/white, Zen-like elegance, a cool androgyny (more Grace Jones than David Bowie). Clean, but its directness was simple only in a deceptive way, like a Mondrian painting. Cool, but never cold, sweet, but never sickly, light but no lightweight. Severely missed, the newer Sanders pale by comparison 4th June, 2006. |
![]() Joshaugustt Show all reviews | This is another GREAT Jil Sander Scent. And like all of her great fragrances...it's discontinued(her average scents are available.)I found a couple bottles of this on ebay and it's AMAZING. For those who know FEELING MAN by Sander...Sander Man Pure is VERY similar...almost identical. The only difference seems to be,it's not quite as heavy as Feeling Man, and the dry down is a bit sweeter. However, it has great staying power. This is another example of a beautifully crafted scent, being yanked from the market,long before it's time. It's a lost classic! Joshaugustt USA 4-19-04 19th April, 2004. |
