The Story
Jil Sander Man is a crisp, green aromatic fougère that defined the late 90s. It opens with a sharp burst of bergamot and galbanum, then settles into a clean lavender and geranium heart. The base is a soft, woody blend of oakmoss and sandalwood. It's a no-nonsense scent that feels both classic and modern.
