Simply Jil Sander Poudrée Intense
by Jil Sander
Simply Jil Sander Poudrée Intense is a soft, comforting gourmand fragrance centered around powdery, warm, and creamy accords. It opens with a delicate mix of freesia and mandarin orange, quickly giving way to a plush, vanilla-heliotrope core enhanced by cacao and cashmeran. The scent evolves into a deeply comforting, skin-close drydown with subtle woody and vetiver notes, creating a powdery, cozy sensation reminiscent of instant hot chocolate or soft baby powder. It is particularly well-suited for winter days, evening wear, or as a personal, intimate scent for bedtime. Despite its quiet projection, it maintains a gentle presence on the skin and is especially praised for its warm, comforting character.
Pros
