Kenzo Kenzo Jungle Homme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1998, created by Olivier Cresp. Kenzo Jungle Homme opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lime, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Mate, Amber, Carnation, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Guaiac Wood. Kenzo's Kenzo Jungle Homme carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly unique and utterly divisive woody-spicy creation that will have some people raving about its primal, untamed character, while others scrunch their nose at its 'sweaty' or 'old school' vibe. Love it or hate it, you won't forget it.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its bold, unique spicy-woody character and moderate projection make it less suitable for formal or office settings but perfect for casual outings or dates where you want to stand out. Reviews highlight its distinctive, unconventional scent that might be too much for close-quarter professional environments.

About

Kenzo Jungle Homme is a rugged journey into a spice-laden forest. It bursts open with a zesty, tart interplay of lime and bergamot, quickly spiced up with a rich trio of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. This fresh-spicy introduction then transitions into a warm, creamy embrace of guaiac wood, sandalwood, and cedar, softened by a balsamic benzoin. The mate note adds an earthy, slightly animalic twist, conjuring images of humid jungle air.
