YEEEAAHH BAAADAAYYY! I tried Synthetic Jungle last Saturday and for me, as first impressions, smells like a blend of Creed Viking with French Lover, with the geranium note of Rose & Cuir. A blend that actually works, honestly. I really enjoyed this fragrance. That being said, I find it a bit redundant in the Frederic Malle collection. And particularly, if you already own French Lover, I think it's useless to have Synthetic Jungle too. But again, these were my first impressions.
From all the feedback I've seen, galbanum certainly seems to be the most prominent feature. Big fan of green perfumes, and this one sounds like a doozie. 🌿 Appreciate the impression Eugen.
Thanks for sharing your first impression! I have a sample showing up at my door tomorrow. Can’t wait to try!! Also, this review reminded me I can’t wait for cooler weather to bust out French Lover. :)
Malle and his perfumers praise synthetics. “Synthetic” shouldn’t be a taboo word in fragrance. Beautiful natural smelling perfumes often rely on synthetics as well as naturals as is showcased in this recent release. Perfumes would not be rounded if not for them.
My malle collection is steadily growing up to 4 now with music for a while, POAL, vintage musc ravageur in the matte cap & promise. I need to put synthetic jungle on my to sniff list although i like my green fragrences either like no 19 or like polo green or tsar so i dont know how this would fit it.. excited to give it a sniff though! BTW SOTD is Alain Delon Iquitos.. if the duck hasnt sent you a sample yet i strongly urge you to try it...i think you would fall head over heels for this.. its floral and aldehydic and pissy with this honey civet combo.. but dont think kouros.. think more estee lauder knowing with a Dollop of oakmoss and this powdery orris that fluffs everything up. Cheers 🍻
To my nose, it's not so much green as it is white floral - but in a surprisingly good, that is green, woody, fresh, and non-powdery way. I like it a lot.
Hey Eugene , obsessed with SJ as well. Went through a sample and need it now. Will order it today. I agree with your review ( other review that is gone for some reason, maybe bec you said it smells like shit 🤣🤣🤣) I love that indolic note as well. It’s sexy and hovers around one like a heavy yet light cloud of white wet yet powdery flowers and resins . Maybe the Lili of The Valley combined with the almond note ?? Anyways once the green punch settles it’s pure love for me. Not that I don’t enjoy the green note. You have to in order to love this. But I prefer it when it settles as it then smells “light green,” , white and maybe even yellow or grey. I am literary obsessed. !!!! Outdoorsy natural all the way but yes there is a modern sexy twist which smells white to me. Thick … not sure. Sooooo good 😁
@@usmellsgood yes I do and Rose & cuir also. However I love SJ wayyy more then R&C . Just ordered a large bottle from bloor , will have it tomorrow. Love it also but obsessed with the indolic warm drydown.
I really like perfumes by Frederic Malle, but Synthetic Jungle is one of my least favorite perfumes of this house. I appreciate this scent, but doesn't make me feel blown away. I don't see myself wearing this. I think it's because I tend to dislike plants in perfumes. I think I might change my opinion, it can grow on me. The Moon, Musc Ravageur, Dries Van Noten, Iris Poudre, Outrageous are still my most favorite scents by FM.
She wanted your phone number to sell you perfume....ya....right.
Here we go!!!!! Nice to see what you think. I’ll be heading to the city on Sunday to try it. I’ll report back

You're the only person I turn to when I want to hear about Frederic Malle. Looking to forward to giving this a go someday.
Sounds good, will try this soon, my favs are Promise and Monseuir 👍
I read that comment about its 70s inspiration today. Silences by Jacomo was the first thing that came to my mind. Can’t wait smell this.

Just sold 2 fragrances to make room for this. Can't wait.
So excited for this!
I like it too - reminds me of a childhood visit to Kew Gardens. Jolly Green Giant's scent of the year ;)
For God's sake, try it on skin!

I walked past the FM counter yesterday and didn't really think to try this. I dunno, I haven't been intrigued. 🌹

Mr. Malle feels its a “synthetic jungle” out there
It's not for me but it's definitely got it's place in the collection, there's nothing else like it from malle

As you know I’m a floral head and Malle has gotten my green vibes working.I’m really interested in this one and thanks for tha review.
Synthetic lover..Eugene you've just given Fredric Mallle the name of the next perfume in this line..

I love it from top to bottom, from the opening bitter greens to fruity indoles, do you get the Parfum de Therese connection at all?

Speaking of 70's perfumes, what perfume is closest to the classic 1970's Halston for women?
I am really curious about this fragrance, because I love green fragrances. Some favourites green frags Creed Green Irish Tweed, Chanel No 19.

Can you give us a follow up review of hour thoughts after it developed?
Thank you for your insight
Great
Love
I might go 100ml to impress the girl fragheads
Should have called it sex panther. 60% of the time, it works everytime.
Heyy
Smells like the inside of an iguana cage. I don't get it at all. I heard it described as delicious on another site and I laughed. It's gross. Lol
