By the editors · 2 min readKenzo Jungle l'Elephant opens like a spice market in the afternoon — cumin first, unmistakably, with cardamom and clove crowding in behind. The heart softens the attack: ylang-ylang and gardenia spread across warm, humid air, the florals nearly tropical but pinned down by the continued spice work.
The base is a classic oriental drydown — amber, vanilla, patchouli — rich enough to carry for most of a day. This is a loud, divisive fragrance. Some people read it as skin-warm and sensual; others cannot get past the cumin. Meant for colder weather and adults who want their clothes to smell like them the next morning. Not a compliment-chaser; a statement.
