‘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 is equally dry and enveloping, masculine and feminine, enigmatic and bright.
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.’ – Jil Sander
