Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet utterly captivating, Synthetic Jungle is a hardcore green scent, a dense, stylised rainforest in a bottle that's not for the faint of heart. You'll either adore its assertive, damp greenery or recoil from its vibrant, almost abrasive charm.
Urban Oasis takes on Frederic Malle's Synthetic Jungle, the cult hyper-green chypre that smells like a freshly cut jungle. The dupe captures the pungent galbanum-basil greenness and dewy floral heart, but tones down the original's startling, cat-hiss intensity and trims its longevity, landing as a more wearable, skin-close green floral.
