Jil Sander Sun: A Perfume That Smells Like Vanilla In Summer

What would you expect when you see a fragrance named Sun? Something refreshing and aquatic, perhaps. Or maybe some tropical fruits.

Well, Jil Sander Sun is not that.  It was created by Pierre Bourdon back in 1989. The original Eau de Toilette contains citrus, orange blossom and floral notes, along with creamy, sweet base notes.

The vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood and tonka bean stand out. Benzoin can have a slightly sweet scent, and tonka bean can be reminiscent of vanilla and almond. With sandalwood, this gives Sun a lovely creamy quality.

If you like vanilla fragrances, Jil Sander Sun could be a good choice.

Know Which Sun You Want

There are many perfumes under the Sun name, and they don't all smell the same. Sun Delight has a tropical feel with some sweetness. Some Sun fragrances have also been created for men.

If you loved a particular Jil Sander perfume, double-check the full name before ordering. Fragrances from the same collection can smell different.

Jil Sander No. 4: Plum and Oakmoss Perfume

Released in 1990 and created by Michel Almairac, Jil Sander No. 4 takes a different direction from Sun. Rather than a creamy vanilla feel, No. 4 has rich, dense florals. Plum and peach feature alongside bergamot, anise and geranium.

Rose, jasmine, tuberose, violet and ylang-ylang follow. Already a good amount of floral notes, right? There are also myrrh, nutmeg and tarragon, giving it aromatic qualities. Then oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood, amber and musk.

Oakmoss can have an earthy scent, much like a forest wet from rain. Patchouli adds woody earthiness.

This is different from a pear and sweet musk floral fragrance. If you're deciding between Jil Sander Sun and No. 4, think about what you enjoy: Sun is creamy and sweet, while No. 4 has more florals, spices and mossy woods.

Sander for Men: An Unusual Combination Of Notes

Alongside the women's fragrances, Jil Sander has perfumes for men. One is Sander for Men, created by Jacques Cavallier in the late 1990s.

Ivy leaf and mint open the scent. Coriander, cardamom and pepper add spice. Cedar, cypress, incense, myrrh and labdanum close it off. Incense and myrrh can both smell resinous. If you like a mixture of herbs, spices and woods, give this one a try.

Don't Forget Sun For Men

Another men's fragrance is Jil Sander Sun Men. This is different from Sander for Men, so check the full name before purchasing, especially when replacing an older bottle or buying a gift.

Jil Sander Olfactory Series

Jil Sander Olfactory Series 1 includes some of the brand's newest perfumes. These unisex fragrances contain aldehydes and natural ingredients. Aldehydes can give a perfume a crisp or sparkling scent.

Jil Sander Leaf has key lime, cardamom and cornmint, creating a fresh, crisp fragrance. Jil Sander Smoke contains cedarwood, cade and elemi, giving it a dry, smoky feel.

Both differ from each other and from the original Sun and No. 4.
