Jil Sander Simply Jil Sander Elixir is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Christophe Raynaud. Simply Jil Sander Elixir opens with Blood Orange, Pink Pepper, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Cedar, Rose, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Leather, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Jil Sander's Simply Jil Sander Elixir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive yet captivating, this 'Fahrenheit Femme' earns both praise for its chic, leathery sophistication and dismissal for its bold, masculine edge. It's not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Simply Jil Sander Elixir kicks off with a spirited burst of blood orange and ginger, spiced up with pink pepper, quickly transitioning into a sophisticated heart where powdery iris and violet mingle with a hint of rose and the warmth of cedar. The dry down is where it truly settles, revealing a rich tapestry of smooth leather, earthy patchouli, and a soft, lingering vanilla that provides a touch of sweetness.
