Style Pastels Soft Yellow

This is my second favorite day time fragrance. The opening is harsh, but it settles into a wonderful creamy and dreamy fragrance in a matter of minutes. Like Sun, this is also one of my man's favorite fragrances. I think I just draw bigger compliments when I wear Lolita Lempicka, which I wear just as an evening fragrance. Unfortunately the lasting power of Pastels Soft Yellow is quite poor on me. But the price is low enough that I can keep on applying it to get the "I feel real good" vibe, and she smells SO DIVINE, that I don't mind carrying her around with me to reapply when needed. I bought several back up bottles of this and of Sun - I never want to be without Jil Sander Sun and Jil Sander Style Pastels Soft Yellow. They are both so up my alley.

I'm so surprised amber is so far down the list here. To me, this is a dry, creamy, herbal, non-sweet vanilla Amber scent. As mentioned before, the lack of sweetness is like a lotion. It has a sense of Sun in that way, but is extremely different. It is unfortunate that this doesn't get more attention. I think I paid less than $15 for my NIB bottle on eBay. What an awesome bargain! It smells like nothing else I've ever smelled. As with most Sander fragrances, each note is balanced brilliantly. This is by far one of the most unique takes on vanilla I've ever smelled... Not a small feat. This has gone from solid like to highly admired, to a love.

Soft yellow is very clean, soft and cuddly fragrance. Vanilla and orange flower are the perfect couple. Vanilla in this fragrance is very soft and non-sweet, like a body lotion.

I bought it in blind because I love classical Style. I came across a real bargain online and couldn't leave it! Soft Yellow has much in common with classical Style, the leading, a bit herbal note is here. Believe me, I wouldn't have called the fragrance soft. One tiny spray and I leave a trace wherever I go at home (I haven't checked outside yet but I'll update). Actually the fragrance starts more green than yellow, green-yellow altogether with that unique herbal feel classical Style has. It recalls Sun a bit, no wonder, Soft Yellow is supposed to be yellow and sunny. It becomes yellow afterwards. I don't detect much of yellow freesia, which is so prominent in yellow Mandarina Duck for example - here it's softer. Amber, orange blossom, vanilla - they are. The fragrance is thick, cosy, creamy, feminine and Guerlain-like - in the meaning of powderiness, softness and feminity - there's something similar to L'Instant in it. Who likes L'Instant, Trussardi Inside, may like Soft Yellow. Bottle is nice, I like this minimalism and modern, classical look. Fragrance: 4,5/5 Bottle: 4,5/5 Sillage: 4/5 Lasting power: 4/5

Soft Yellow is an interesting one. It is definetely soft but by no means subtle. It has good sillage and lasts quite some time (esp on clothes). In its powderiness it is similar to Jil and I agree with it being a bright and sunny fragrance, despite it having a spicyness to it that some might find off-putting. You have to like pepper in a scent to appreciate this one. It is an uplifting spring fragrance for someone who likes a bit of oomph in their scent without it being overpowering. Suitable for casual and office wear but only for those who don't mind a bit of spice - like a lemon tart mixed in a blender with powder and some cracked pepper.
