Description
The new Jil Sander pillar fragrance is called Sunlight, in line with the sunshine theme relevant to Jil Sander since the famous Sun perfume from 1989. Sunlight comes out in March 2018 as a “a brilliant new fragrance that makes the inner strength of a woman shine.” It is said to be designed for charismatic and self-confident women of timeless beauty and wisdom (“She is fascinating and free, radiant and attractive, graceful and yet assertive,”) represented by the legendary actress Susan Sarandon in the ad campaign.
Jil Sander Sunlight opens with fresh, sparkling citrus and spicy accords. The heart reveals solar notes, white peony and white flowers such as jasmine and orange blossom. White cedar and ambrox in the base provide a warm touch to the composition.
The Sunlight bottle has the clean lines for which Jil Sander fragrances are renowned, and the rectangular glass bottle together with the rounded cap capture the incoming light. In the center of the glass bottle, the transparent, soft pink liquid in the interior shines through.
The advertising campaign is filmed by Mathieu Cesar. The fragrance will be available as a 40 and 60 ml Eau de Parfum with a shower gel and a body cream.
The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson.

This is a very mild, soapy yet fresh scent- to me at least. It reminds me of a bubble bath and the smell of nice products. Fairly underwhelming and yesterday at some point it even started to smell like those chewable vitamin C animal shaped tablets that children eat and at other times, straight orange peel. This isn’t a perfume I would wear, since a relaxing bath or shower with the right products would satisfy my desire for this scent experience.

This is very likeable and light, perfect for spring and summer – daytime (too light for the night)
I think it has that distinct Nathalie Lorson elegance and quality stamp. It is a very wise decision to put Susan Sarandon as face of this perfume.
It is a fresh citrussy and sunny composition with medium longevity and light to medium sillage (for me).
You cannot offend anyone with this scent, perfect for gifting too, but I keep mine because I like it 🙂

I have tried it today and need to say that I really enjoyed it. It opens with a fresh, sparkling scent and with a time it develops as a bright sunny floral composition.
There is something that reminds me of shampoo. High quality shower gel or some bath product. Normally I dislike soapy elements in perfumes but I truly don’t mind that in here. It makes it effortless and makes you feel super “clean” and fresh.
With one word it is LUMINOUS! Nothing super unique. There are some similar fragrances to this but I still find SUNLIGHT amazing.
This is the scent that is perfect to wear to work everyday. It is not boring. It is not cloying. Fun, sunny and easy to wear. Very affordable so you don’t have to worry to “save” it for a special occasion.
Lately Jil Sander has been releasing quite a few interesting perfumes and quickly becomes my favourite designer brand!

This is very well done, and, as somebody said somewhere else here about this scent, it has a hippie-vibe to it. I think that really gets across really well what this puts across: sunny, carefree but not shallow or harmless. The mixture of grapefruit and cedar gives off the faintest whafts of very fresh sweat, the kind that comes with being outside sailing or chilling at the beach all day, you know, before it turns into nasty BO. To many, this is exactly what makes a perfume great because it hits that animalic nerve that quickens the pulse. Sadly, too near my own pre-stinky funk to feel entirely comfortable with me. But do try.

I might be the only one, but I always detested all the houses using actresses for the promotion of their perfumes. Most of them are just not interesting outside of their movie roles.
But for me Susan Saradon is the exception! Happy to finally see a real and interesting woman!
(There is a movie from 1983, ‘The Hunger’, with Susan Sarandon, Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie – it’s a bit of a strange story, they are vampires… – but the whole movie looks like one big 80’s perfume ad!)
