The Elephant in the China Shop
If I had to describe what the perfume smells like, I would have two ideas to symbolize the scent.
No. 1: Either it smells fantastic like a Christmas or spice market.
No. 2: Or differently: A herd of elephants is running for their lives, kicking up huge clouds of dust in a very hot savanna.
No. 2 impressively describes its longevity and sillage. The scent trail is out of this world with too high a dosage. I sprayed the fragrance five times (with a stuffy nose - I couldn't smell it ;D) just before Christmas and went to work.
The first colleagues came in, wondering where the scent was coming from. The room filled up, and there was only one topic: "Who is wearing this perfume?" At some point, I had to admit that I was the culprit.
Many people (we are a team of almost 25 people in this room) found the scent very dominant and spicy. Others asked upon entering the room if someone was spraying a Christmas fragrance and said it smelled wonderful. One colleague commented: "Cardamom, cardamom - I have to sneeze."
So I was, like it or not, the elephant running through the savanna, leaving behind a huge cloud of dust. Because even after I re-entered the room two hours later, a colleague (who had just come in) asked which perfume I was wearing; she was told that I was the wearer and that the scent could still be clearly smelled in the rooms. I had, like an elephant, smashed half the china shop and left my traces. Truly, every one of the 25 colleagues saw and commented on the elephant.
Otherwise, it is a wonderfully crafted scent, very spicy, very dry, with minimal sweetness - strong associations with Christmas markets. It lasts and lasts on clothes - for days. But one must fairly admit: You don’t wear the scent > the Jungle L'Elephant wears you, and you really have to be in good mental and physical condition to spray it on yourself.
With moderate dosing, it’s a great perfume for winter and autumn. Never in summer and never at work. Even though the elephant is pretty, it is also large, very space-consuming, leaving no air for others.
I can never imagine it as a signature scent, but due to the price, it belongs in the collection of a perfume lover. It is so distinct and unique that you would recognize it among thousands of fragrances.
Oh, and it is an absolute unisex perfume!

Back then, I would put a drop on both wrists and dab some behind my ears... It lasted until the next day!
Just don’t overdo it, or the effect will be the opposite.
