This Synthetic Jungle Eau de Parfum by Frederic Malle is an ode to cult perfumes of the 1970's that offers a modern vision of nature reimagined. Flipo retained the opulent basil of the original composition, along with a recomposed bouquet of hyacinth, lily of the valley, natural jasmine, and Ylang Ylang oil. To modernise and sharpen, she then added synthetic black currant and styralyl acetate, effectively putting the bouquet through a glossy, sparkling filter. Flipo futher simplified the Chypre and leather notes, resulting in a cleaner, more streamlined accord that's rounded off with patchouli.
Frédéric Malle’s goal is to push perfumery to a whole new artistic level. The publishing house brings together the industry’s best Perfume designers, reverting back to the nurture of quality. Perfume’s an art form, and you can’t rush art, right? On a sweeter note, the designers’ extensive knowledge on raw materials is sure to bring a new scent to your collection.
