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.
The depth of the woody, decidedly smoky, spicy notes of upcycled Cedarwood, Cade from Spain, and CO2 extracted Elemi, is cut by the clean, vertical strokes of the aldehydes. An interplay of shadows and lights, heat and coldness, refined by fresh laundry notes and traversed by Oud facets.
The smell of clothes drying near a fireplace. Jil Sander Smoke created with Bérénice Watteau is equally dry and enveloping, masculine and feminine, enigmatic and bright.
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.
