Many years ago I smelled this perfume at a friends house, never forgot about it and sometime ago I got my hands on 2 bottles for a bargain price.
I do not use it everyday but when I do, I love it so much, like said here before it is just a very unique smell 🙂
Staying power is also on point, I can smell it all day and the next day on my clothes.

Am I the only one smelling a less flowery, more powder-ish YR Comme une evidence?
LATER EDIT: Actually, there’s no Comme une evidence here. I’ve been wearing it a lot trying to convince myself f that I like it. I don’t . That mango gives me a Laguna Dali kind of aquatic fruity 90’s low cost vibe that , in my opinion, contrasts a lot with Jil Sander’s minimalism. I feel a lot of sour mango in it, unfortunately, no pepper or cardamon nor violet:(.

ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE, UNBELIEVABLE GORGEOUS SCENTS – EVER.

What is it with Jil Sander fragrances that absolutely floors me? I just took a shower, used Jil Sander Style shower gel, used the body lotion afterwards and perfected it with the juice, all while humming with sheer delight. I cannot believe that so far each and every Jil Sander scent I tried beamed me up to heaven. I am not much of a floral lover, but this composition is so wonderful, the floral aroma doesn’t feel like an intruder, but the main accords are so well balanced that the floral part is actually a delight rather than an intrusion (and I can find a lot of floral scents too intrusive). This is a frag that picks me up when I am down, elevates me higher when I am happy, and is almost as potent in addressing depression and moodiness as L*ndt Chocolate Truffles. Best case scenario: Chocolate and Jil Sander frags, and the world looks brighter indeed. Style is just spectacular.

И аз съм тотално влюбена в този аромат! Толкова пудра,ванилия и слънчеви лъчи…което не значи,че е за лятото.Даже по-скоро аз бих го ползвала есента и зимата,за да ми носи тази свежест и добро настроение в лошото време.Очарователен аромат със страхотна дълготрайност.Напръсках се в 17 ч.и го усещах чак на сутринта! Якоооо,само дето не мога да намеря в България 75 мл :-(.Стигаме до 50 мл и край..
Препоръчано горещо

Tested this for a friend who loves Jil Sander. You could describe her as a typical “Jil Sander-style” kind of woman: minimalistic and puristic choice of clothes and accessories.
Style opens very bitter, a mixture of cardamom and the peel of an unripe mango.
Over the course of half an hour this almost pungent but interesting scent mixes with classic sweet vanilla and iris.
It mellows out beautifully with the white flowers. After this stage the cardamomm and green mango have disappeared.
Unfortunately, the very interesting opening does not stay for the whole wearing time.
Sillage is soft but can be definetly built up to noticeable, longevity ok.
Style is very versatile and can be worn to any occasion, in my opinion.

i am totally in love with this perfume. in years my taste for everything keeps on changing but not for this perfume. as it is written before, it is unique. i feel more elegant, intelligent and different than everyone when i wear this. sillage and longevity are great. because of the risk this one would smell good on anybody, when i am asked about my perfume, i’m lying about the brand, sometimes 🙂
ANDY12345 – :
If I have to decide should i buy it, based on the main accords, I would never do it. This combination is not my favourite one. But, I know Jil Sander perfumes and I like them. This one is no exception. I like how the notes are balanced and the brand signature is recognisable here as well.There is not much i can add, since i find that main accords says pretty much what it is about. Maybe just that it becomes a bit more musky with dry down for my nose. The silage and longevity is quite good as well. Reminds me a bit of Jil Sander Sensation, less sweet and more spicy.
I have to admit that I like more Pastels Tender Green, since I like fresher scents, unfortunately it is not available anymore.
Amotterenoded – :
It’s a beautiful scent, bitter-sweet spicy powdery vanilla. Solid projection, but not in offensive way. Cuddly, comforting, yet mature and sophisticated. My mother-in-law kept complimenting me every time I would wear it, so I ended up giving her my bottle. She has a poor sense of smell and is generally clueless about perfume, but she could smell it on me 4 hours after I applied it (3 sprays total) and said to her it smelled “so nice and fresh”, so hopefully she’ll enjoy it more than I did. I did like it and I definitely appreciate it, but we didn’t quite click.
EDIT: reporting from my mother in law! 😀 It’s been a week since I gave her my bottle and she wore it nonstop (she’s a one-perfume-at-a-time kind of gal). She said she got multiple compliments and people are asking her where can it be purchased online, since Jil Sander is not sold in Portugal. It’s a hit!
vovka2010 – :
This is an odd little scent. It’s very abstract and unusual in the first 15 minutes. It does smell like curry but not Indian curry instead green Thai curry. It also has a weird wet, palm leaf sort of note that sticks out distractingly in those first 15 minutes. I then start to smell an unripe mango. It’s not a fleshy, juicy sweet Mango, but instead a fresh, bitter unripe mango. It’s a little hard to decide how to feel about the scent in the beginning, but give it a chance. It turns into a beautiful, noncloying vanilla with a touch of spice and a noticeable mango. The drydown is not complicated or confusing. This may be disappointing for those who enjoy a scent staying strange and abstract through out, but I find it lovely and wearable.
fotik – :
I loooove it ! Buy it without worries , this really rocks ! It’s one of those fragrances that has high potential to smell great on everyone ! Vanilla is there the whole time but it’s mixed perfectly with the other ingredients so you get a bit of everything here ! Definitely full of Style 😀

Beautiful composition from the Queen of Minimalism.
I adore Jil Sander’s style and in my whole perfumed life only very recently I have come across her perfumes.
Well, I must confess I had always disregarded them in haste and have always been more drawn to other brands.
Style opens with a witty peppery note not different from Bottega Veneta but Style is more feminine and powdery. There is a hint of flowers, my favourite flowers in a scent: violet, jasmine and iris which never become too dominant but remain in the shadow and offer their discreet presence as long as the scent remains on your skin.
It’s not eternally lasting but I would not expect it to be so; the Queen of Minimalism remains true to her philosophy and does not overwhelm you, not even with her Style.
Very refined, very elegant, a discreet kind of elegance, one that goes unnoticed but gains respect and is recognized. Classy without being boring or dejà vu or old lady.
I would see it perfect both for ladies and young women, it’s truly ageless.
REFINED ELEGANCE IN A BOTTLE
morozik – :
The first word coming to my mind while smelling this fragrance was CUTE. I love the unique top notes, whish they lasted longer. What i get after 30-45 minutes is mostly the vanilla base, and after 3-4 hours i can’t smell anything, it’s completely vanished from my skin. This is my only complaint but it’s far enough for keeping me off buying it, though it could be my signature scent easily. Very sad 🙁
Edit: I bought it anyway. I enjoy it a lot but no signature potential here.
vazek15 – :
i bought Jil Sander Style the other day. i’d read so many positive reviews here that decided to go for this blind buy. still was a bit worrying cause in russian fragrantica there were a lot of people mentioning that it smells curry to them (which i don’t like). i though ‘curry?really?why on Earth sb would invent a perfume that smells curry?’. i received my bottle,sprayed on my wrist-and you know what?it really smelled green curry!!!!i was so disapponted…after a few hours i gave it another try,on my hair and clothes this time…and -oh my!!!it’s such a beauty!i cannot pick up words to describe!i still can detect some curry but this time it’s not foody,it’s elegant,mysterious,original and surprising!it doesn’t smell much sweet to me, but spicy!-yes!
magery – :
As usual, your rewiews are the best!! I bought this beautiful perfume based on comments here, and after an initial strange masculine effect, i find this one very very beautiful and feminine, it’s a very unique fragrance nothing I’ve ever smelled before! It’s sweet and creamy and near to the skin. Is an elegant and classy perfume and I don’t stop sniff my arms! Very very beautiful i like it a lot!!
Elenadesign – :
This a very very sweet and creamy fragrance. The initial spray is almost identical to Burberry Brit edp. The middle phase is most interesting where the spices, specifically cardamom, mango, violet, freesia and vanilla mix. The drydown takes about 30 min to arrive. To sum the drydown up it smells like a mango vanilla smoothie. It is very nice and comforting but as of now it doesn’t go beyond that and it does not evoke any emotions from me to warrant a repeat purchase. It is a little too sweet. I’ll continue to wear it in different weather and moods and see how I feel then. I recommend trying this, perhaps in a sample vial, then decide on purchasing. I do like it.
It has similarities with other, but the short lived creamy mango vanillic drydown is quite unique.
Update: Summer 2014. I’ve grown to love this in the hot weather. It is a sexy sweet scent, a mango vanilla gelato, of the highest quality ingredients. Its an Italian Summer fragrance. Big sunglasses floral summer dresses strolling elegantly down old streets, casually sexy while scooping bites of your gelato and smiling ay passerby’s. Utterly edible and a little juicy makes this refreshing in a sense. I prefer it in the warmer months and wear it often.
alexsystems – :
Mmmhhh I just re-discoverd this one for myself! A friend of mine was wearing this one last year and I was always commenting on how good it smelled on her. But then I forgot about it.
This year on my search for a christmas-time fragrance, I saw the gift-sets from Jil Sander in the stores. So I tried it again and fell in love! It is so nice and yummy. It’s a soft, sweet (but not too sweet), spicy sophisticated fragrance! It wraps around you, makes you feel pretty, feminine and cozy. I don’t agree that this is an ‘ice cream’ smell like some reviewers below stated, that would mean that it would be incredibly sweet and sticky. But it’s not.
Lasting power and silage are decent. You will get noticed, but it wont hit someone on the head.
I also bought the matching lotion with it (the matching body care lines to the Jil Sander fragrances are very affordable, like 3 times cheaper than other lotions of fragrances and the prices are like that permanent!) and like to layer them both.
It’s a great winter fragrance and I’m pretty sure that when wearing Style later next year it will transport me right back to christmas/ winter time 2013. Yaay! 😀
Liaildlaw – :
Vanilla-butter, green notes and violets. Sweet, warm, floral and gourmandy fragrance. Something nostalgic about it. Very, very pleasant scent.
Magnolia, amber and cardamom for drydown.
It smells much simpler than what’s involved here. Still great thou.
This is type a scent that enwraps you with its warm hugs. Comfort for sure:)
Purchase highly considered!
cogrerveron – :
This is a very soft one on me, soft in any thinkable way. There are no sharp edges. It’s a blend of soft spicy notes, soft smelling flowers on a soft bed of vanilla. Almost soft creamy on my skin. I really like the scent. Sillage is quite nice for the first hour and a half and then it gets close to the skin. Longevity is pretty good. Over 8 hours.

Cute little bottle but I couldn’t STAND the juice inside. VERY heavy on powder! Totally not MY style!
ronaido1922 – :
I bought this 2-3 days ago hoping it would smell like ice cream since, it was suggested on a question asked here on fragrantica. so i thought i might give it a try. I did not get any vanilla or ice cream like scent i was hoping for, but instead i got this spicy scent to start with then it turned into this… um the only way i can describe it is ‘ a green/ leafy scent’ or this scent reminds me of the color green dono why.It’s also sweet ( but not in your face sweet sweet, kinda balanced, not too little and not too much sweetness) and smelt somewhat familiar but i could not place my finger on why it smelt familiar.
But today i finally figured out why it smelt familiar/what it reminds me of….
“MANGO TREE LEAVES”
I love and grew up in a place with lots of mangoes, and a couple of times i would try and chew on the mango tree leaves, and the smell of the leaves when i would chew on them is exactly like this perfume, Or a bit like the skin of the mango, but it mostly reminds me of the mango tree leaves, that together with something woody ( not too much of the woody smell kinda subtle), dono if other people get the pure sweet mango. But that’s all im getting from this perfume
Its comforting and reminds of home.
The bottle is so CUTE. I’m sorry if i sound weird but i love it 🙂
It also lasts on quiet a long time and don’t really need to spray a lot on.. for me anyway.
Contr – :
Kysyona: I agree with you!
For me Style started with quite a lot of pepper, but the drydown is blueberry and rose. Don’t know why. It has a tender sweetness to it that also reminds me of fresh pears.
schechka – :
I am lost for words, because if this is not the perfect floral/fruity pastel, then I don’t know what is: those ladies, who, like me, love pastels and looking good enough to eat – well, this is a rose/blueberry smoothie pastel – coloured scent that is the only one of its kind up there with the pretentious chanels. It is THE perfect winter scent for office IMHO. Costs a fortune, but makes you feel and smell like a million dollars. This is what wives of oil tycoons should smell like, when they are walking around their villas wearing vintage Valentino skirts and fixing freshly cut flowers in vases in every room while sipping countless tiny cups of rum espresso. I adore this creation and the other “pastels” from JS are just as divine: want every one to be gracing my vanity at some point. I also have to note, that the note layers in this perfume seem to be reversed: the usual base notes like vanilla and musk are at the top of the pyramide here, and the berries, fruits and flowers surface up when the top notes give way after a while: perhaps this is what makes it so special, considering that a whole ingredient bouquet is a no-brainer. I am converted.

Уникален!!!В този свят,на търсещи надмощие миризми,Стил стои настрани.Но аз го забелязах и го оценявам високо.
Името на този парфюм може да е само такова,каквото е.Топъл от ванилията,нежен,упойващ.Ненатрапчив,но привличащ силно.Сякаш стои в ъгълчето на окото ти,но когато се вгледаш-той е там.

It is my love. Aroma wood and musky, and then the flower. The juicy bitterness dements me. It absolutely not sweet, vanilla in structure with bitterness. Distinguished and refined. Resistant and during too time doesn’t smother, delicate. I have it one of darlings. Competes with the Mademoiselle and often wins, though I love both of them gently. Very much I am afraid that will lay off, carefully I study a pyramid to find analog… I apologize for my English, I hope clearly))

sorry, forgot to put YSL Pour Elle Intense, I just got so excited!
cyvsgheyp – :
Just received and I am really loving it. At first spray I get all the middle flower notes with a shot of the pepper. Then pepper mixes and jumps into the batch of freesia while never forgetting to bring along her other buddies “the middle note gang”. At no point do I never get vanilla, that really perplexes me. This is quite beautiful and has similarities the YSL and Paco Rabanne Ultra Violet. I am just calling it like I smell it. Highly recommend this for anyone. I will continue to enjoy.

Oh how I waited for this…and finally its here !
Thanks to Adrienne99 for letting me have this !
It is a very soft powdery skin scent ,to me resembling Burburry brit in a way, but without the odd note in brit I dont like and softer than brit as well.
This has mango and cardamon in the beginning, very nice, but very shortlived… Anyhow its easy to wear, you don´t annoy anyone, and nice for work or when you want to snuggle up close to someone, cause I think its not loud at all. I mean – I wear the perfume,its not wearing ME…
if this is soft, how soft is Style soft – version ??? The notes blend very well so it is not easy to separate them. More than mango I get fresia, iris, musk and vanilla. I dont get any jasmine at all. What´s funny is that it turns more flowery and a hint of lemonish towards the base and that´s usually the other way around.
