Jil Sander The Essentials Scent 79 Man is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Mark Buxton. The Essentials Scent 79 Man opens with Bergamot, Clary Sage, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Violet, Violet Leaf, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Leather. Jil Sander's The Essentials Scent 79 Man carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

A dry, green and smoky scent with violet and incense at its heart and leather at the base. It is cool, intellectual and a little austere. Good for people who like their fragrance serious.

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

The Essentials Scent 79 Man opens with clary sage, artemisia and bergamot, a herbal, bitter and citrusy start. The heart brings incense, spicy notes, violet and violet leaf, which is smoky, powdery and green at once. The base of leather and woody notes is dry and slightly dark. It is a cool, restrained scent with a serious, modern character.
