Question:
Knowing and Jil Sander #4.
Kumquat gave me a bunch of cool samples, many of them that she thought I would like and many vintage scents. Oh, my, what a wonderful collection she has.
Today I am going to talk about Jil Sander #4, which is like a softer, sweeter version of Knowing in some ways. It has the same woodiness, the same tuberose, moss, patchouli, and musk. But it starts with a fabulous green opening note, and then a beautiful peach or plum fruit. The vanilla in the drydown is it's main difference. Knowing is more clear, with emphasis on the patchouli, while #4 is creamy and much more vanillic. Both of them have a nice, soft finish, with Knowing being more powdery and long-lasting.
I have loved Knowing for a long time. It is strong, though. If I overapply, I get a bit of a pushy, overdone, chemical smell that drives me crazy. Kumuqat introduced me to a fragrance that smells similar, but without the danger of overdose. Very nice.
