Jil (2009)
Jil opens with a lavender-and-pink-pepper pairing that reads more soft-spice than herbal — the lavender is rounded, almost candied, and the pink pepper supplies a brief faceted lift before stepping aside.

In the heart, lily and lily-of-the-valley fan out around an iris that's powdered rather than rooty, and heliotrope deepens the powder into something almond-leaning. The dry-down is the long, comfortable phase: amber and vanilla holding warm against soft musk, with no oud or wood pushing through. It wears as a clean, slightly retro powdered floral — close to the skin, soft-edged, and at home on cool, dressed-up evenings.
