Simply Jil Sander Poudrée Intense

I love this! I have been spraying my little heart out since I got it in the mail. I have gotten much better at blind buying, which has come about through a loooooottt of sampling. This is probably not a good thing for me, considering what my perfume budget is. Right now, this fragrance is such a good deal. It is looking like they have done a repackaging/reformulation of this recently? I only say reformulation because the color of the juice looks like a transparent pink or fuchsia. I have not smelled it. I got the one with the pink top and black juice, which I am thinking is the original model. Honestly I love the black juice, it looks cool but doesn't match the "feel" of the scent at all. I got it because I have fallen in love with L'instant Magic and this is hailed as it's budget dupe. Not a complete dupe, but it scratches the itch. It's a love. I want the non-intense version, too. Or, someone to buy me one of those spanking new L'instant Magic's from the Guerlain site...

Pretty succesfull blind buy for me! Why is this so underrated? First spray immediately reminded me of L'instant Magic, which I loved. So, if you liked LM, you gonna most likely like this one as well. I expected this to be very light (Lanvin Éclat kinda stuff) but its heavier than that. Performace is also good, it projects quite well and I can still smell it on myself hours after spraying. I asked my friend if he can smell any perfume on me and he said that he smelled it the moment he entered the room. Soo, really not bad! I find this scent very comforting and cosy. Some mentioned it smells like baby powder, but not to me. What smelled totally like baby powder was for example Bvlgari BLV. This one not really. Well, now I'm really curious about the original Simply Poudree, need to try that one as well.

I find this to be a very cozy, comforting scent. I am at home sick (yes, with covid) and want to feel normal but cannot stomach a stronger fragrance. This is perfect. It is nice, soft and powdery, yet does not give me a headache. I do want to say, for those of you that meant to purchase the regular simply poudree and instead got the intense version, I have both and they are basically the same except the intense has the cacao note, which adds only a slight cocoa scent. It's not a big difference at all, definitely not enough to purchase the other. When I run out of both of mine, I will not repurchase both; only whichever one is available.

I bought this because I love Poudree and while I love it, I use it as a "comfortable" casual scent. I always felt there was a wow factor missing. Intense fulfills that wow factor for me. I love it. I have both and will continue to buy both whenever and wherever I can. For those who love powdery scents with a pop this is for you.

Uh oh... This is a love for me. It started very fresh. Then it moved to a very sweet and warm cloud. It is almost similar to Kenzo L'elixir which I also enjoy very much. I think people should pay more attention to this German designer label Jil Sander. Very underrated yet good perfumes.
