Olfactory Series 1, the first Jil Sander fragrance collection, fuses botany and technology in minimalist, unisex formulas in which the olfactory marks of aldehydes cut across key natural ingredients, giving every fragrance unique shapes and volumes.
As a catchy melody, a love song, layered over a moody soundscape, this fragrance folds over the duality of vanilla, with its darker, profound notes taking precedence over the sweetness and charm we usually associate with it.
A discovery that is surprising and intriguing. Jil Sander Vanille, created with Coralie Spicher, is an Ambery Leathery fragrance composed of upcycled Cedarwood and a gourmand CO2 extracted Vanilla, whose leathery notes - accentuated by the balsamic tonalities of Labdanum from Spain - are fully revealed by the aldehydes cutting across both the high and low ends. Simultaneously angelic, sensual, and mysterious, it gives us a way to express our many different facets.
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.
