Jungle Le Tigre Kenzo 1997

Kenzo Jungle Le Tigre. Hm, I still remember testing the elephant version of the Jungle scent with a certain anticipation, and I really didn't like it at all. The scent was so overwhelming that I wanted to run away from it like from a stampede…

Now I’m daring to try a Jungle scent again with the tiger and hope that the tiger is more pettable rather than being a scratchy creature like my cat…

… well, we’ll see… aah and speaking of the devil: My cat just jumped at my window from outside and is coming in now… luckily it’s daytime (while I’m testing this scent), so he’s just having a little snack before settling in for his digestion and beauty sleep until the evening :DD

**The scent:**
The scent starts off not badly :)
I smell (a bit heavily) floral-sweet notes with a slightly fruity background, which probably comes from the Osmanthus. The fruity background smells slightly of oranges, but it’s less citrusy and that must be the kumquat. However, this could also be the Davana, as I’m currently reading that it can smell fruity-sweet among other things. I’m not entirely sure here. What’s clear is that it smells floral, very sweet, and indeed orange-fruity.
A bit sultry perhaps (could this be due to the Ylang-Ylang? It could be, as I always find Ylang-Ylang a bit heavy and sultry), but here not in an annoying way.
Over time, the scent takes on a slight spicy touch, which I can’t assign to any of the listed notes. Cinnamon? It doesn’t smell like that yet, but it’s still pleasant. Although, a bit later the scent does smell a little like cinnamon, but more like amber. It remains mainly floral/spicy-sweet with a slight woody note in the base, before at the very end the scent becomes more floral again, where I believe you can best detect the Ylang-Ylang.

**The sillage and longevity:**
The power is strong with… argh I meant the sillage is strong with this scent! So it’s easily detectable and leaves a little scent cloud.
The longevity is quite good at over ten hours.

**The bottle:**
In terms of the bottle, this one is very similar to the elephant. That means it’s rectangular and this time filled with pink fragrance liquid. The cap, however, is adorned with large, chrome leaves, from which a beautifully sculpted tiger emerges :)
I really like the bottle.

Ah, I can breathe a sigh of relief. This Jungle scent actually smells very good, nicely sweet, a bit spicy and floral, very feminine,… simply beautiful!
Apart from the pleasant scent, it also impresses with its sillage and longer longevity, making it quite a great going-out scent that… well… can also come off as sexy :)

The scent is more suited for autumn and spring, but as always, everyone can decide for themselves when to wear a scent, but on too warm days, it should be applied sparingly, as it can really pack a punch otherwise.

Well, with this scent, I can once again say: Test it if you get the chance! It might be worth it! :)
