Reviews of Jil Sander Man Pure (new) (2004)
by Jil Sander

A vanilla scent. Dry and ethereal instead of sweet and mellow.
I really would like to give it a thumbs up but...
... after a few days I got an allergic skin reaction, probably due to the "Pure Air Transparent Molecule".

Beware!

This scent shares the same unfortunate characteristic that Gucci Rush has on me - it disappears within two hours - but it's still there numerous hours later, awaiting reactivation with a bit of perspiration.

My initial impression was much like that of the other reviewers - ho hum, and short lasting to boot. But I was astounded 7 or 8 hours later "what is that wonderful scent (among the many I'd sprayed on my arms that day) wafting everywhere?". Sure enough, it was Pure Man. I was amazed that a scent I'd dismissed so quickly earlier that day, I now thought was absolutely delightful. I went and bought it next day.

Rating it is somewhat difficult. If I were rating it as an anytime scent, I'd have to give it a neutral. Rating it as a scent worn when one is likely to perspire as in summer, or in the gym or while dancing, it's a definite thumbs up.

This is what the exosphere would smell like. A dissolving limpid vanilla and tepid sandalwood.

Modern bland synthetic mishmash.

Totally unoriginal and without character. Uninspiring and monotone.

"Pure air transparent molecule"
Whatever will they think of next!

Where does this scent go? It's so pure (read: light, fleeting, ephemereal, what have you) that it hovers on your skin like a butterfly – and then just dies. There's about half an hour of incredibly fresh scents, like mineral water and barely ripe juniper berries dancing on the topmost surface of citrus, but you certainly do need to refreshen that gin-like freshness. All in all, the very essence of joyful, uncomplicated cool. And fickle immaturity, sad to say.

This scent is not too offensive. It´s not very longlasting also.

I agree completely with the review BELOW. This is not even close to the kind of quality, you've come to expect from Jil Sander. It's COMPLETELY different that the ORIGINGAL Jil Sander PURE. Don't waste your money.

This one is for those who like ECHO or TOMMY T type of fragrances. Fresh, clean, ozonic with lightwoods basenote.
