Sensual Jil

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

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

I got this for one reason, and one reason only: I was hoping, wishing that it would be similar to the origional Jil sander edp with the pink liquid. Its close actually; but its like its missing that special..something! that gives it character. Its like they took the origional and removed the pink pepper and citrus notes and replaced it with blackberry and orange blossom, its missing the creamy zesty citrus and the spicyness of the pepper but once it dries down its almost identical to origional, its still powdery, but in a vintage makeup powder way, not a fresh talc way with a sweeter vanilla note. Jil Sander for her edp will always be my all time favorite fragrance, but until i can afford a bottle off ebay this will make for the next best thing. Body chemistry must play a big part in how it dries down, as people have said its similar to the pink one, then others have said it bares absolutely no resemblance. They could've named this Jil Sander for her Intense or Noir or something, instead of marketing it as a completely different fragrance.

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".

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
