Sun Men Parfum

Jil Sander's Sun Men Parfum, from 2021, is a green, woody scent with an equal share of resin, amber and leather, giving it a darker, denser feel than a typical fresh men's fragrance.

Juniper berries open with a crisp, gin-like sharpness that brings the green character forward, and clary sage adds a herbal, slightly musky earthiness. Beneath them, dry wood forms the backbone, smooth and unsweetened. Benzoin, including Siam benzoin, supplies a vanilla-tinged, balsamic warmth that accounts for the resinous and amber side, while leather gives a supple, slightly smoky depth to the drydown.

Made in parfum concentration for men, it balances freshness and warmth, which makes it suited to autumn and spring days as well as evenings when a fresh scent feels too thin. Anyone who likes juniper and leather paired together, or a green fragrance with a warm, resinous core, will find a coherent and well-mannered composition here.
