What do reviewers say about Jil Sander No. 4 and Le Parfum?
This is a proper 1990s powerhouse. The galbanum opening might surprise those expecting typical florals, but the heart delivers generous white florals that justify its cult status.Jil Sander No. 4
Built for people who want a fragrance to work, not whisper. Le Parfum arrives bold and stays bold. The aldehydes in the opening can feel like a shock to anyone expecting something softer.Le Parfum
