The Story
Jil Sander No. 2 is a bold, green chypre that defined the power-dressing era of the 1980s. It opens with a sharp burst of galbanum and hyacinth, then settles into a floral heart of jasmine and rose. The base is a classic chypre structure of oakmoss, patchouli, and leather. This is a fragrance for a woman who commands attention without shouting.
