No. 4

by Michel Almairac

Jil Sander No. 4 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Michel Almairac. The fragrance opens with Rose, Peach, Plum, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Violet, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Ambergris, Civet, Sandalwood, and Patchouli.

Our verdict on No. 4: Acquired

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and rich, complex profile, No. 4 is best suited for formal events and dates, where its presence can truly shine. It's generally too intense for an office setting and much too overstated for casual wear or sport.

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.
