Beauty
I tried all six of the new scents from the German cool-girl brand here are my honest thoughts.
HappyFashion Monthto all who celebrate.
Butisthere anything new under the sun?
But what does that…mean?
The most well-known aldehyde is the iconic Chanel No.
In a post-pandemic world, cleanliness often means safety.
It can add not only a welcome freshness, but empowering peace of mind.
Like any great note in perfumery, aldehydes are polarizing.
People either love them or hate them.
When it comes to aldehydes for me?
I…hate them.
When I heard about Sanders collection, I was eager to smell what they were bringing to the table.
Until, however, I heard the throughline was a note that always repels me.
So here we are.
I tried all six of the new Jil Sander Olfactory Series 1 and I have been humbled.
Keep scrolling for my honest thoughts.
Jil Sander Leaf
Okay so I initially really did not care about Leaf.
Its green in the way youd expect, but also in many ways you wouldnt.
Jil Sander Coffea
First of all yes, it is called Coffea not Coffee.
Now that weve gotten that out of the way…
I didnt care about Leaf, but I really cared about Coffea, and it did not disappoint.
Its not a literal take on coffee but its not exactly far from that either.
As someone who is obsessed with coffee scents, this is a definite win.
Jil Sander Black Tea
After coffee, youre probably curious about tea.
There are plenty of scents that interpret tea, in every varietal you could think of.
Sander takes black tea and pairs it with a sizeable dose of cinnamon, which I absolutely love.
Call it recency bias.
As it wears, a rose blooms, blossoms on your skin, and slowly draws you closer in.
What will this year bring?
The answer, if were lucky, is beauty.
