  I’ve just tried this new launch by Frédéric Malle with Anne Flipo and it moved me, taking me to a deep childhood where scents remain stable like a first kiss. First, I spray it into the air to feel it from afar; here it falls upon me like rain among exotic plants, with that moisture of water sliding down leaves. Right, I know they are synthetic, but the naturalness they convey makes me doubt the name ‘Synthetic’. It’s a jungle dream or an exuberant botanical garden where you hardly notice the earth, very different from Carnal Flower. After that 20-30 minute experience, it leaves its present as a gift. In summer, under the twilight of our streets, a flower illuminates the shadows with its magic: the evening primrose awakens the senses, just like this Synthetic Jungle. Hyperrealistic, beautiful, and mysterious. I didn’t expect it from the olfactory pyramid, but that’s how I feel it. Good trails with 2-5 hours of projection that soften to last 12 on the skin. Ideal in warm climates, especially above 20 degrees. I see it as unisex, although I understand its feminine side. I use it day and night, the latter more intimate, so the breeze can carry it to your surroundings. Even though the leaves are already yellowing, I won’t wait for them to fall before buying it. Test on skin: EXCELLENT PURCHASE.

  The opening is infinitely green and slightly astringent. The most noticeable notes are lily of the valley with galbanum and a touch of sweet blackcurrant, reminiscent of L’Ombre Dans L’Eau by Diptyque. Then it seems to give the jungle a heatstroke; after hours, I only smell withered hyacinths. My partner said it smells like bad breath. Apart from that, it projects well and lasts quite a while. Despite the promising opening, I didn’t like it. Had it not taken that decrepit turn, it would be a nice perfume, unisex with a feminine tint, for spring and summer in informal or semi-formal occasions. Pleasant: 5/10 Interesting: 6/10 Versatile: 7/10 Original: 5/10

  Freshness of laboratory seeds, very marked by the basil. It injects light into the jungle and evolves into something ethereal and abstract. If Carnal Flower is what Poison Ivy would wear, this is what she would eat.

  It’s a freshness of fresh, elevated seeds, especially due to the basil. It brings freshness and light to the jungle, evolving into something ethereal and abstract. If Carnal Flower is what Poison Ivy would wear, this is what she would eat.

  I adore it; it brings back memories of playing on the lawn and the garden plants as a child. It has something childish that wins me over, although I don’t think it’s for everyone. It’s green to the core, but the name fits it PERFECTLY. Be careful, don’t buy blindly. It lasts quite a while on the skin and projects well, which is very good.

  I adore it; it brings back memories of playing on the lawn and the garden plants as a child. It’s tender and wins me over, although it’s not for everyone. Very green, but the name fits it perfectly. Definitely don’t buy blindly. It lasts quite a while on the skin and projects well, which is very good.

  I love it. If green had a scent, it would be Synthetic Jungle. It smells of a meadow after rain, fragrant shrubs, and damp earth; it’s one of the most elegant greens, alongside Floris 89 and the Secretion Vert. Inspired by Chanel n°19 and Private Collection, it recalls that green opening of the first without being so floral; the Private Collection I never smelled like this, so I can’t compare it, but it definitely has that vintage air. Ideal for formal summer daytime and evening occasions.

  I love it. If green had a scent, it would be Synthetic Jungle. It smells of a meadow after rain, fragrant shrubs, and damp earth; it’s one of the most elegant greens, alongside Floris 89 and Secretion Magnifique. It evokes Chanel n°19 and Private Collection: it has that green opening without being so floral. I’ve never tried it, but it certainly vibrates with a vintage air. Ideal for formal daytime and evening events in summer.
