    What do reviewers say about Simply Jil Sander and Alaïa?

    Restraint is the whole point here. The leather doesn't compete, it coexists. The vanilla doesn't sweeten, it warms. This isn't for the room. It's for the person who leans in and asks.Simply Jil Sander
    For a fragrance named after a designer known for body-conscious silhouettes, Alaïa smells surprisingly weightless. The air accord gives it an almost transparent quality that makes the floral heart.Alaïa
