‘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 (…) A new fusion of botany and technology. Six clear-cut compositions infused with three key natural ingredients and the synthetic molecules of aldehydes – the specific quality of this collection. Sparks of light flashing through the fragrances, amplifying the key notes and the harmonics of the main ingredients, giving to every natural material the right exposure and new ways of expression. Echoes of personal memories, of places and objects of affection. The quotidian elevated into an aesthetic experience.’  – Jil Sander
