Jil Sander No. 4 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Michel Almairac. No. 4 opens with Anise, Bergamot, Rose, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Jil Sander's No. 4 carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This 90s powerhouse is a fascinating blend of opulence and restraint. It's a scent for the bold, confident woman who isn't afraid to make an entrance, though some find it a bit too vintage for everyday wear. Love it or hate it, No. 4 demands attention.

About

No. 4 greets you with a ripe, juicy plum and peach, softened by plush rose and a hint of green galbanum. The heart unfolds into a rich, powdery floral bouquet, where creamy tuberose and sweet ylang-ylang mingle with spicy carnation and a unique touch of nutmeg. The journey culminates in a warm, enveloping base of animalic civet, earthy oakmoss, smooth sandalwood, and a comforting whisper of vanilla and ambergris.
