Description
The house of Jil Sander presents a new fragrance called Strictly Jil Sander in October 2015, as the masculine equivalent of Simply Jil Sander perfume from 2014. It was announced as a stylish scent of male elegance, refined like a tailor-made suits of clear lines and fine material.
The composition is created by perfumers Sonia Constant and Olivier Pescheux. Top notes are spicy and include white pepper and essence of Bay. Spicy – oriental character continues in its heart, with accords of cardamom and nutmeg. Vetiver, sandalwood and tonka end the composition.
The bottle design is simple and elegant, colored in gray tones. The fragrance is available as 40, 60 and 80 ml Eau de Toilette.

Received this on accident when I hastily tried to order Simply EDP for my birthday. But it was a happy mistake, as this is a surprising love.
I really shouldn’t be surprised. Jil Sander is my top house precisely because it continues to produce excellent, well-blended, unique, long-lasting, classic scents that aren’t trying too hard.
This is sweet and spicy. I’m getting some vetiver, but it’s not taking over as it likes to do so often.
I sprayed this in the crook of my elbow this morning along with about 6 other fragrances on different parts of my arms (I just received a long-awaited delivery, so I was excited). This is the only one that’s lasting after my shower, and through the Shalimar Ode Mexique, with which it blends brilliantly, BTW.
It is certainly on the masculine side, though I would be thrilled to wear it myself. But I think it’s just “boy” enough that I’d prefer it on my husband.
Highly recommended! Best mistake I’ve made in some time!

My first spray I did not like it but than the dry down came and it was pure love – I really like this one and I have a weak for Vetiver fragrances but not pure Vetiver – this is also a bit peppery with tonka – Tonka beans and Vetiver, a match made in heaven – so much better than the Ultrasense collection

Not bad!
I get only vetiver actually, but what I get is likable. At first sniff I was instantly reminded of Cacharel Homme, but minus the clove.
Strictly is a bit sweeter maybe, softer even. I think that must be the tonka.
Vetiver lovers should give this a try!
7,5/10

I have a very mixed feeling with this one: the initial blast reminds me very much of Moods by Krizia or Rush by Gucci, both of which I really hate, but after an hour it reminds me very much of a softer version of Man Pure / Jil Sander, one of my signature scents in the eighties. Really was in love with that one back then: the revival a couple of years ago didn’t really work for me, but I can see myself wearing this in autumn, just breath through my mouth for the first hour ;-)).

I was disappointed by Ultrasense and Ultra/white but this is something I can appreciate.
It’s a great woody scent and I can see the comparison to Visit but this is not as spicy and has no incense. I find this has a charming sweet and boozy wood quality to it which must come from the Bay nuance (not a powdery sweetness from Tonka).
It last a long time and projects well and makes for a an excellent partner to Simply.

Le Male more spicy. In between Spicebomb and Le Male.

First time i tried this i was unsure
if i liked it, now after some use i find
it to be a very good fragrance, it smells
kinda like old school with a modern twist,
nothing like the generic stuff they make today
I LOVE THIS FRAGRANCE.

Well this is really a surprise as its as hot as a pepperoni.
It opens up with a blast of pepper and settles down to a nice vetiver cedar combination. There is also a hint of hidden sweetness given by the tonka note.
Thats nearly all there is to this perfume, but hey, its so well done that it is a real pleasure.
I definitely recommend this if you’re a fervid, mettlesome or conflagrant person.
