Description
Simply Jil Sander, a chypre perfume of simple elegance and refinement, was launched in October 2014. Its masculine equivalent, Strictly Jil Sander, was launched in October 2015. The new edition Simply Jil Sander Eau de Toilette comes out in January 2016.
Simply Eau de Toilette is announced as the fragrance in which luxury and sensuality meet purity and clarity in a perfect harmony, represented by timeless style and simple elegance. Inspired by the original, the new version has a dose of nonchalance and lively freshness.
The composition was developed by perfumer Christophe Raynaud. The top notes include fresh pear, combined with ambrette seed and galbanum. Musk and violet again form the heart of the perfume, this time enriched with additional notes of feminine tuberose and subtle nuances of spicy cardamom. The base consists of patchouli, leather and vanilla.
The bottle is designed by Suzanne Dalton. The face of the campaign is German model Toni Garrn, photographed by Josh Olins. The fragrance is available as 40, 60 and 80 ml Eau de Toilette with 150 ml body milk.

As already said- this is Fahrenheit but not as good. It doesn’t last at all , it’s kinda dry…. I thought it would be more “girly” but no. It has 90’s unisex vibe. it’s Ok-ish.

A little sister of Balmain Jolie Madame, and more affordable than my favorite modern leather Bottega Veneta and a lot more feminine as well. Very much recommended in case you like leather perfumes.
Not for teens. (Unless she is a tomboy into horse riding.)

slightly synthetic wild strawberry + vanilla + patchouli in the drydown.
Powdery, clean, feminine. Sweet but not gourmand.
Color: millennial pink.

I totally agree with the Reviewers that say this smells like Christian Dior’s Fahrenheit…and this is a very, very good thing. While Fahrenheit has been (sadly) hit hard by IFRA reformulations and is a former shell of it’s magnificent self…Simply Jil Sander is, IMO, better than current Fahrenheit. This is so, so, so Unisex. It is woody, powdery, fresh, soft, clean, musky, leathery and just phenomenal! I can see this appealing to a very wide audience, yet does not smell generic or “safe”. Lightly applied this is office friendly, and with a few more spritzes would be perfect for a special evening or event. Very reasonably priced. German Engineered, French made! Perfect combo!!!

Slightly powdery, musky, flowery, feminine perfume. I’m enjoying it. I like the touch of sweetness. I do not find it masculine. Nor do I see the likeness with Fahrenheit. This is definitely feminine. *Edit: No way is this like Jolie Madame, as per the ‘similar fragrances’.
It seems more of a skin scent but I catch wafts of it around me.
It’s a like rather than a love. I willl reach for it when I want to smell subtly perfumed.

My man has Fahrenheit and it smells great on him. I wanted the feminine scent with the same notes. I loved the flowers phase of the perfume most. I’ve got my own “Fahrenheit” now and I like it. It doesn’t last long, but it doesn’t need to, because I can’t stand the leather notes more than 2 hours on me. Dry-down is musky with a light touch of patchouli.

It’s a bit to common…try layering it with Maison Martin Margiela Flying!

I wanted this to be nice but it smells only of farenheit, no development and very masculine. Not for me this one. There are better perfumes out there.
Heappinge – :
A well done Edt version of the original which delivers everything you expect. Where the Edp is wonderfully butch, this is pretty but not without character.
The pear and cardamom replace the violet leaf for a nice soft green opening. It’s definitely more flowery but I don’t pick up any distinct tuberose. It maintains a light leather quality tempered with ambrette for a muskier base.
If Style bored you and Simply scared you, this might be worth a try.
