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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
