Jil Sander Man (2007)
by Jil Sander

Sweet and smoky yet discreet and elegant. Not a groundbraking release but surely a remarkable fragrance. I'm not very impressed by the opening that maybe smells a bit generic and way too gentle, but the resinous/vetiver/cedar drydown is really pleasant and somehow unique.A slight vintage vibe throughout adds an extra touch to make of Jil Sander Man an interesting composition that is positively distant form the average quality of todays designers fragrances. Good for everydays wear.

Nice bottle.

Jil Sander Man,

Interesting, little powdery and sweet, but well done constructed, romantic scent, projects well, girls will love it, for sure!
Versatile age range, fall and winter, maybe a bit heavy for summer and spring, 2 thumbs up!

Can't disagree -- it's smoky and sweet and a bit safe/generic/for the office -- what lifts JSM above other similar fragrances is a really nice and lengthy drydown.


PS. Has anyone tested the new CDG masculine, 'Wonderwood'?. What a completely deflating experience -- where's their edge gone? They seem to have shelved the 'God Save the Queen' fragrance project, which last I heard was going to be in a teapot shaped bottle, and pushed out this rather safe woody offering which smells like many of their previous ones on this tip. Bleh!

This cologne smells like sweat. Horrible! I sprayed it on a test strip, so I know it wasn't a skin reaction. My mother and sister took a test strip of it too, and they both agree with me that it stinks. It would be a very nice smelling cologne had they left away the sweat.
