Mysterious and provocative, Synthetic Jungle is a lush landscape in technicolor. A tribute to the cult perfumes of the 1970s, it depicts a fantasized nature in its own modern, stylized way. And it marks the entry of perfumer Anne Flipo into Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle. Anne Flipo has kept the basil note, which she has combined with a bouquet of hyacinth, lily of the valley, jasmine and ylang ylang. To chisel and modernize the whole, she added a note of synthetic blackcurrant and styrallyl acetate: a real filter of brightness and shine for the flowers. She also simplified and purified the original chypre and leathery facets. Finally, she introduced a note of patchouli, one of the most complex and evocative ingredients in the perfumers' palette.
