JIL SANDER FRAGRANCES
olfactory series 1
OLFACTORY SERIES 1
JIL SANDER’s Olfactory Series 1 collection expands with six new creations that further explore the links between our daily lives and the imagined, the simple and the complex.
Fusing botany and technology, the collection presents 12 minimalist, unisex formulas defined by the radical olfactory signature of aldehydes — transforming familiar impressions — from the clarity of a morning walk to the weightlessness of a body in the ocean — into exceptional aesthetic experiences.
Made with only the essential: the fragrance, infused with 3 key natural ingredients, the synthetic molecules of aldehydes, alcohol from upcycled carbon emissions, and water.
CHAPTER II
Jil Sander Shiso
Created with Julie Massé
An early morning walk reveals the world anew. Jil Sander Shiso captures a moment of pure awareness, with the aldehydes generating a duality that perfectly embraces the spirit of the brand: sharp and comforting. This Woody Green fragrance is characterized by a bitter, neon verdant hue. Rounded by Sandalwood from Australia and upcycled Key Lime, while the CO₂ extracted Juniper Berry expresses the crispy energy of the Shiso leaves. An ode to the exuberance of the natural world and to its gifts.
Jil Sander Lily
Created with Mathilde Bijaoui
Caught by surprise by an enchanting perfume on a warm Florentine night. Lilies are white, sensual flowers that primarily release their fragrance after sunset. In Jil Sander Lily the aldehydes bring the flower's metallic, blooming facets to life, while the floral power of the CO₂ extracted Jasmine Sambac, the warmth of Benzoin from Vietnam, and the verticality of the upcycled Cypress structure and balance this luscious, radiant fragrance. This new majestic Floral White Flower fragrance magnifies the ephemeral into a lasting form.
Jil Sander Salt
Created with Alexis Grugeon
The fluidity of water and the weightlessness we feel when immersed into it, salt crystals on the skin, flashes of light on the surface of the sea. In Jil Sander Salt the aldehydes turn these sensations into a kaleidoscope of shimmering and palpable mineral textures. This vibrant Ambery Watery fragrance is composed by balancing upcycled Cardamom, CO₂ extracted Vanilla, and Lavender from France. The feeling of our skin slowly drying after a swim, merging our body with the ocean.
Jil Sander Sesame
Created with Meabh Mc Curtin
The first taste of a black sesame ice cream. The start of a quiet obsession, born in a shared moment of joy and giving. Jil Sander Sesame is a Woody Gourmand fragrance that pushes black sesame into a voluptuous, velvety experience. Into a creamy and comfortable texture. The toasted notes of Cocoa Shell upcycled base, which contains 100% upcycled ingredients, the CO₂ extracted Oakwood, and the Cedarwood from the USA translate into a full-bodied experience. With the aldehydes creating a tactile richness.
Jil Sander Vanille
Created with Coralie Spicher
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. Jil Sander Vanille is an Ambery Leathery fragrance composed of upcycled Cedarwood and CO₂ extracted Vanilla, accentuated by Labdanum from Spain – and fully revealed by the aldehydes. Simultaneously angelic, sensual, and mysterious, it gives us a way to express our many different facets.
Jil Sander Mahogany
Created with Louise Turner
The supreme energy of a tropical forest captured into a scent. For the depths of its hues where red turns to black, mahogany is one of the most fascinating trees. Jil Sander Mahogany pays homage to this exceptional expression of nature in a fragrance that fuses upcycled Cedarwood with the profound leathery facets of Cypriol from India, the fizzy, spicy notes of CO₂ extracted Ginger, and the aldehydes. A rich and sophisticated Woody Leathery fragrance that raises mahogany to new heights.
Clear-cut. 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 leading idea was to change perspective and recalibrate traditional proportions, creating radical compositions that use only the essential: the fragrance, infused with 3 key natural ingredients, the synthetic molecules of aldehydes, alcohol from upcycled carbon emissions*, and water. Reaching the highest degree of olfactory clarity and expression.
As an olfactory translation of Jil Sander’s design codes, the Olfactory Series 1 set individuality front and center. It balances intimacy and presence, feminine and masculine, day and night, humanity, nature, and technology. With awareness and care, and a sheer dedication to quality and innovation.
*Jil Sander Olfactory Series 1 is made with a blend of traditional and upcycled alcohol in varying proportions.
OLFACTORY SIGNATURE
The fragrances were designed by five of the most talented emerging and established international perfumers.
The ensuing formulas are characterized by the radical olfactory signature of aldehydes - sparks of light flashing through the fragrances, that amplify the key notes and the harmonics of the main ingredients, and give to every natural material the right exposure and new ways of expression.
