Strictly Jil Sander

Received this on accident when I hastily tried to order Simply EDP for my birthday. But it was a happy mistake, as this is a surprising love. I really shouldn't be surprised. Jil Sander is my top house precisely because it continues to produce excellent, well-blended, unique, long-lasting, classic scents that aren't trying too hard. This is sweet and spicy. I'm getting some vetiver, but it's not taking over as it likes to do so often. I sprayed this in the crook of my elbow this morning along with about 6 other fragrances on different parts of my arms (I just received a long-awaited delivery, so I was excited). This is the only one that's lasting after my shower, and through the Shalimar Ode Mexique, with which it blends brilliantly, BTW. It is certainly on the masculine side, though I would be thrilled to wear it myself. But I think it's just "boy" enough that I'd prefer it on my husband. Highly recommended! Best mistake I've made in some time!

Solid and modern mens fragrance as always with Jil Sander! Fits her fashion perfectly! One of the best scents for rainy days with moderate temperatures. Best in fall. This also has a certain "sacred" vibe, maybe because I also get notes of olibanum or incense that are not listed above. The opening is very peppery fresh spicy. In the drydown I mainly get the combination of tonka bean and vertiver. However, to my nose it smells also slightly synthetic. But with (purely?) natual ingredients the price would be much higher I guess.. It fits almost every occasion Imo, except for very special events like weddings etc. If you are looking for a nice and incomplicated scent and you are into vertiver, go for this! But do not expect something too special in niche quality! Age group: ~20 - 50

One of the better Jil Sander fragrances. This one has a slight lip stick/face powder taste, but no guy will be threatened but it, this is 100% masculine through and through. The make up vibe is something Dior puts in their mens fragrances, so its soft and slightly sweet. It what sets Strictly apart imo. Initially I felt this was a bit ordinary, it reminds me of a lot of light woody fresh type scents, it has the same feel as HeWood by Dsquared2. But once you live with it a bit and wear it around you get a multi layered interesting scent. Beneath the light and woody exterior there is a vaguely sweet and vaguely spicy backbone. Dries down beautifully with a nice projection. Hard to find but worth looking out for, its a worthy addition to any collection. Thumbs up

My first spray I did not like it but than the dry down came and it was pure love - I really like this one and I have a weak for Vetiver fragrances but not pure Vetiver - this is also a bit peppery with tonka - Tonka beans and Vetiver, a match made in heaven - so much better than the Ultrasense collection

First time i tried this i was unsure if i liked it, now after some use i find it to be a very good fragrance, it smells kinda like old school with a modern twist, nothing like the generic stuff they make today I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE.
