Invigorating!

Incredibly invigorating...this fragrance opens with clean, crisp eucalyptus, coconut, and it captures the essence of moist jungle air! I can't stop wearing this one. It is perfect for warm weather....In the dry down, the coconut takes a back seat and the eucalyptus is met by vetiver and smooth sandalwood. The fragrance is light and it is nearly impossible to overspray this. I tend to go with 8 sprays (make sure to hit the clothing) and I can still detect a trail several hours later. If you are looking for a great addition to your summer arsenal, look no further. I would also recommend "Long Courrier" from this line...which is an attractive and versatile powdery vanilla.

Almost!

And here’s the only other decent scent from this half-baked new line by Pierre Guillaume (the other was Long Courrier – which I honestly prefer way over this). Straight to the point, Jangala is decent at least for the first couple of hours, for two main and kind of obvious reasons: it smells nice until it can, and it is fairly creative. If making a “creative rewriting” of tropical-aquatic clichés was the aim of this new line, Jangala *almost* made it. Definition-wise this would be in my opinion a sort of green-fruity-woody scent with a mineral-watery texture, like pretty much any other of this line, but this and Long Courrier are basically the only ones able to add something to it - something I can’t honestly define. I think it simply “works” and succeeds in avoiding any “tropical shower gel/sun cream” effect. There is a bitter-sweet juxtaposition going on which makes Jangala really intriguing at first: something lightly sugary, plushy and pleasantly creamy (coconut, sandalwood) perfectly coexisting with a fresher, sharper, slightly pungent balsamic-citric sour top accord, both embracing a cozy and exotic “tropical” blend of ginger, herbs (that olive leaves thing), something floral, woods and fruity notes (I guess still coconut and the rest of the pyramid) with a decided ozonic-metallic and weightless “glassy” vibe that keeps it all on the fresh-watery and “grey-azure” side. Nothing overly exotic or weird, as it nearly reminds me of some ginger-woody masculine designers (from Envy to YSL L’Homme) with a brighter, coconut-balsamic-breezy twist. But still, fun and fascinating overall.

Besides working fine, I also like how Guillaume managed to keep the blend seemingly natural making a clever use of materials, at least for the initial phase (long enough to convince retailers and distributors at tradeshows to get some stocks, I guess). Sadly though, all of that you just read works for me for a couple of hours, before Jangala starts collapsing into a sort of cheaper, harshly pungent citronnel-infused woody-ozonic-herbal drydown *now* showing the actual quality of some components (in other words, smelling a bit more openly synthetic and flat). Still not completely bad, but well... Surely worse than it seemed at first for me. Despite this, personally I would still consider Jangala an interesting, decently creative and almost solid “watery balsamic coconut cocktail” with a disappointing – not hideous, just disappointing - drydown. Still surely among the best you can get in this genre – just keep reapplying it and avoid the crap drydown.

Very helpful Review 10

Sibayak

06:55, Berastagi, Central Sumatra, Indonesia:

A few steps out of the city, the air is fresh. Let's go outside. A small bus, bags of spices and herbs. A dusty brown track leads to the foot of Gunung Sibayak.

The sun is higher now, it’s getting hot. The humidity lingers in the valley. A narrow steep path winds up the volcano. Meter-high bamboo plants form an impenetrable tunnel. Eucalyptus and old sandalwood trees rise from the underbrush. Red ginger flowers bloom by the roadside. Countless green cardamom pods hang deeply hidden in the bushes.

The air becomes drier, more mineral, thinner. Chunks of volcanic rock line the paths. The thicket clears, the path becomes steeper and rockier. The air is clear, sharp, and fresh.
---
The jungle theme was not hit - however, Southeast Asia can be well associated.
A very fascinating scent that has occupied me for a long time.

The mineral, metallic rock note blends wonderfully with the spicy fresh eucalyptus and the ginger. The citrus of the cardamom also feels fresh. The slightly powdery sandalwood rounds it off at the back. Fortunately, there is no coconut.

A nice PG that has somehow not yet gained a foothold in this forum. Definitely worth a try! It has nothing to do with classic aquatic scents, nor with coconut.

Cooler Barbados Bar Checker - Vacation Scent par excellence

Let’s begin the journey:
We are on Barbados at the beach, a wonderful bar among palm trees, the sound of the sea in the background as musical accompaniment. A great and diverse fruit bowl in front of us at the bar and around us many lightly dressed ladies in bikinis, as well as palm trees as far as the eye can see - check. This is the ultimate backdrop for this scent.
First of all: the scent is unisex - certainly very pleasant to sniff on a lady as well.
The first spray and bang, the coconut hits the nose, but it becomes more subtle over time and moves to the background. Very fresh - the eucalyptus is also present. A nice fresh and slightly fruity top note through the coconut. Over time, the ocean becomes stronger. The aquatic or ozonic accord comes to the forefront paired with something sweet, that must be the vetiver. The woody notes are not that strong, at least they don’t stand out particularly to my nose. Really nice. So this is what vacation feels like par excellence. The sillage is in the good middle range, you can smell it from a slightly larger radius. The scent lasts a good 5-6 hours. The longevity is definitely 7-8 hours, which I consider to be upper middle range.
This is what vacation feels like. Now to unpack the shorts, pull out the short shirt, and head south to the beach bar.

Sweet-soapy and very smooth. Office-appropriate sillage and longevity.
Not quite my thing, possibly due to the eucalyptus, but interesting

Exotic to eccentric. Eucalyptus, spices, woods. Exciting, but not overwhelming. Soothing sauna infusion with style. Chillax.

Despite the sandalwood (which I don't like), it's a beautiful, fresh-spicy, green scent. Real jungle vibes: damp, warm giant leaves.

Instead of a jungle, fresh sauna infusion with Asian kitchen spices. Too much ozone. In the dry down, powdery wood. Synthetic wellness scent. Quite nice.

First cough drop and ozonic menthol freshness, unusual but nice. Then licorice, hmm.

"Vapor" beckons! Cardamom on eucalyptus. Hedione/Calone, a bit of violet.. quirky, but not something I'd want to wear.

The opening makes me breathe easy, then it’s crunchy green with plenty of cardamom. The base is dry, woody, and subtly sweet. Coconut? Thank goodness, no.
