The Story
Jil Sander No. 46 is a crisp, aromatic fougère that feels like a fresh morning in the woods. The opening is a bright burst of bergamot and lavender, leading to a heart of geranium and sage. The base is warm and earthy with oakmoss, cedar, and a touch of tonka bean. It's a classic, no-nonsense scent that wears close to the skin and lasts a solid workday.
