Olfactory Series 1, the first Jil Sander fragrance collection, fuses botany and technology in six minimalist, unisex formulas in which the olfactory marks of aldehydes cut across key natural ingredients, giving every fragrance unique shapes and volumes.
A floral ambery fragrance, with the vibrant, dazzling facets provided by the aldehydes across the CO2 extracted Coffee beans, the upcycled Orris, and the Peru Balsam from El Salvador, producing a clash, and a synthesis, of two worlds.
Outside it is white and silent. Inside, in a timbered room full of people, the morning sunlight and the smell of ground coffee after the brew.
Jil Sander Coffea created with Paul Guerlain fully exhales both its greener and roasted notes. Orris roots let out all the powdery scents they develop in the three years it takes them to mature.
Peru Balsam, sensual on the skin, makes the fragrance ambery and nuanced.
Thanks to a long series of experiments led by the designers with exceptionally skilled glass manufacturer, each bottle has an organic, non-symmetrical shape, and a unique glass repartition.
At a closer look, small random imperfections make them all singular, as the persons who will make the fragrances their own.
The bell-shaped white aluminum cap that covers the container performs a practical and an aesthetic function.
It protects the fragrance from light but when it is removed to apply the fragrance, it leads to a gesture that suggests to be holding a precious and personal creation.
