Just a dab’ behind the neck. Sweet, warm and classic. Nostalgic because it reminds me of fancy ladies I admired when I was a little girl.

Smells like Poison/Red Door for a brief second coming out of the bottle but ends up being like none of these on the skin. Mostly I get a rotting plastic jasmine, sickly sweet baby powder, sharp cheap soap, and spicy carnation. A bit headachy if you ask me. For 10 minutes. It fades super quick to a drydown of dusty old dried roses and musk.
The drydown is like when a child visiting an old persons house I lifted the lid of some cheap supermarket pot pourri that was so old it was gathering dust and took a sniff. It had lost most of its scent but had a chemically enhanced dead roses and dust smell that gave me a headache. Later as a teen I made the mistake of buying “pot pourri” scented toilet spray with pictures of carnations on the front for the family. Everyone hated the scent so much it sat there for years gathering dust til the can went rusty. This perfume dupes these 2 pot pourri experiences exactly.
Lasts ONE hour on me, after that its barely detectable with my nose close up against my skin. This is a thin and linear carnation musk body spray at best. WHERE did all the rich notes of plum, honey, violets, cardamon, patchoulli, civet ect go??? Fragrantia lists tons of notes but they simply aren’t there. I’m shocked at the lack of character and the poor lasting power of my bottle of No.4.
I brought mine from Strawberry Net in December 2014 and I would almost believe they are selling fakes or damaged stock. Either that or has Jil Sander decided to water the fragrance down in this latest formulation? If you really want to get one, I’d suggest perhaps buy from a different source that has a good returns policy. You might fare better than I did.
Or, in a similar style, try Vivienne Westwood Boudoir instead. It shares many of the same notes (spicy carnation, rose, bergamot, patchoulli) but is much more layered and complex. The drydown is very similar to No. 4 except it has bright Marigolds with the vanilla musk instead of dead roses and it lasts 3 times as long.
Another perfume you might like is Versace Baby Rose Jeans. It shares notes with No.4 (spicy carnation, rose, sandalwood, vanilla) and has that same pot pourri body spray feel but the rose is lighter, fresher and it lasts twice as long for half the price.
NOTES as per Fragrantica Feb 2015 – but I think this is a joke.
TOP – rose, geranium, peach, plum, bergamot, air anise
HEART – rose, violet, jasmine, tuberose, heliotrope, ylang-ylang, aromatics of tarragon, myrrh, nutmeg
BASE – amber, sandalwood, oakmoss, patchouli, vanilla, musk, coriander, civet, cedar, tonka bean

Big time fragrance horror from a designer that I actually like a lot.
Jil Sander’s Number 4 is an opulent oriental from the 90s that holds enough interest to compete with a lot of niche perfumes today. It can offer a vibrant, radiant and even sultry experience on the right woman who would enjoy a Poison-like opening with a bright burst of succulent fruit – plum, peach- and candied tuberose and a bit of animalic edge. Unfortunately, with civet being my nemesis and honey being too sweet and cloying here, I am the wrongest ever person for No 4, after its delightful opening. Usually I cannot pull civet because of its dry skank on my skin, but with No 4 I literally smell like a warm, little blob of poo fresh out of a diaper. Add to this the second most cloying and flat honey I have ever smellt in my life, and I am your deadly weapon in an elevator. I imagined this to be something that could compete with Gucci Rush, but I have got to run for the hills.
Medium to big sillage with powerhouse lasting power.

When I tried JS #4 in the store it smelled very nice, sophisticated somehow and classy, not too sweet (which most of the time I don’t like). After I bought it and started using it, I felt it was very overpowering and it makes me nauseous throughout the day. I really wanted to love this parfume as the bottle and packaging looks very chic, but it just doesn’t work well with my skin. Would definitely not buy again 🙁

I had this in the late 80’s early 90’s when it first came out, it was my go-to clubbing fragrance! I never thought of it as an oriental, more of a heavy-duty floral with amber or sandalwood or something? Anyway, it’s funny how perfumes seem to age a person, or not, isn’t it. I agree with a previous reviewer that perfumes nowadays seem to be super-light with no lasting power at all–the scent itself doesn’t need to be strong, just lasting–I loved my Jil Sander. But, times/styles change I suppose, and now I find I’m more into gourmand/vanilla type scents. If you want one with personality especially for evening, and you can find it, Jil Sander is a good one to try.

This is a rich, riotous medley of florals and honeyed purple fruits like grape or plum. Within seconds of applying this to skin, I was reminded of vintage Poison esprit de parfum. Then I checked the reviews on Fragrantica, and I saw that I wasn’t alone. Several people noticed the similarity too.
When the alcohol dried on my skin, the resemblance to Poison faded a bit. Still, the association lingered in my mind long afterward.
The scents aren’t identical, but they are just similar enough that a person who loves Poison will probably love this too. And paradoxically, a person who thinks Poison is too loud might like Jil Sander No. 4 anyway because the latter scent is a bit more restrained. But only a bit. It’s still a late ’80s- or early ’90s-style powerhouse, not the sort of weak and apologetic department store fragrance that is considered the norm today.

The less confident little sister of Coco. Pleasant enough but nothing overly special. In the UK this is expensive and not worth the price in my opinion.
** Edited ** Tried this again but sadly it has no staying power on me whatsoever.

I got this EDP in a swap from a wonderful MUA’er who was sure to ask me what type of fragrances I like. I told her I love floral orientals, and she immediately suggested Jil Sander No. 4. I ADORE THIS. I can’t believe I ran across this by sheer luck! It smells like a cross between EL’s Beautiful and Chanel No. 5. I have been calling it “Chanel No. 5’s little sister”. I think this is more appropriate for daytime than Chanel No. 5 or Beautiful. It is a little softer and very, very feminine. I can’t stop smelling myself. Perfect for fall, so I’m sure I’ll have it on every day! LOVE IT. (By the way, I’m 37 years old and in to classics, and this smells like a classic to me!)

This is my fragrance. It’s the only one strangers will ask me about and every guy I know loves it. It’s warm, sweet, and sophisticated amber that is just so perfectly balanced. I think it isn’t produced anymore, but there are plenty for sale online. I wish they’d bring it back.

It smells of jasmine + ripe greengages + nice coniferous note + honey, very elegant scent, comfortable, soothing, deep, there is something aromatherapeutic inside, dark and soft, like a black velveteen, has a little in common with Poison and Romeo di Romeo Gigli EDP.
