Flowers in the Jungle

8.4

Duftkumpels

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Duftkumpels Flowers in the Jungle is a unisex scent that sets Indian tuberose and frangipani absolute against the fresh citrus of grapefruit, bergamot and Indian tangerine, over a woody base of vetiver and oud. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, a little above average, though the number of ratings is small, so these are only a rough guide. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either men or women. The citrus and floral side gives a fresh, green start, and the tuberose and frangipani add a creamy floral weight. Vetiver, oud and patchouli lay down an earthy, woody ground, while labdanum, benzoin and castoreum bring a resinous, animal warmth. Spicy touches keep the shift lively.

UerMi · 2013

Fresh · Floral · Green

Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither disappears quickly nor fills a room. Voters place it mostly in daily, leisure and business settings, and much less in the evening.
