Frédéric Malle Synthetic Jungle is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Anne Flipo. Synthetic Jungle opens with Galbanum, Blackcurrant, and Basil, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Oakmoss. Frédéric Malle's Synthetic Jungle carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

About

Opens with an immediate, potent blast of wet, crushed leaves - basil and galbanum providing a sharp, almost photorealistic vegetal crispness. This vibrant green core is soon softened by ethereal white florals, particularly lily of the valley and jasmine, evoking dripping blossoms in a humid environment. The base of oakmoss and patchouli grounds the composition, adding a mysterious, earthy depth that lingers for hours, like walking through a cool, damp forest after a downpour.
