Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jungle L'Elephant Eau de Parfum

Kenzo Jungle L'Elephant is a legendary beast of a fragrance, utterly polarising. You'll either adore its unique, potent spice-bomb character or find it an absolute scrubber. Not for the faint-hearted, this is a statement scent that demands attention.

Our Verdict - Encounter Eau de Parfum

This one is a real head-scratcher. It's a gorgeous spicy boozy gem a lot of us love, but its abysmal performance is seriously frustrating. You'll need to overspray like crazy or accept it as a strictly intimate scent. Don't fall for the marketing hype, though; it won't get you laid.

Jungle L'Elephant Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

With its immense sillage and longevity, this is not one for the office, where it would overwhelm everyone. It's a fantastic choice for a date or formal event, where its unique character can truly shine, evoking warmth and sophistication. For casual wear, it's best reserved for cooler weather or for those who prefer to make a strong statement even in relaxed settings.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Its soft projection and intimate nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual evenings. Its boozy, warm spicy nature and poor longevity mean it's not ideal for the office or formal events, and it's definitely not a sport scent.
