Bright and lush, mysterious and provocative, Synthetic Jungle is a stylized landscape in technicolor greens. An ode to cult perfumes of the 1970s, Synthetic Jungle offers a modern vision of nature reimagined.
Flipo retained the opulent basil of the original composition, along with a recomposed bouquet of hyacinth, lily of the valley, natural jasmine, and Ylang Ylang oil.
To modernize and sharpen, she then added synthetic black currant and styralyl acetate, effectively putting the bouquet through a glossy, sparkling filter.
Flipo simplified the Chypre and leather notes, resulting in a cleaner, more streamlined accord. Finally, she added patchouli.
Inspired by Oriental treasures, created by Guerlain’s Perfumer
For this powerful and contrasted creation, Thierry Wasser, Guerlain’s master Perfumer, drew inspiration from the noble material that is leather.
As an exclusive raw material, leather is part of a thousand-year tradition in Orient. With this fragrance, Thierry Wasser pays tribute to its strength, its softness and its sensuality. In its creation, the Perfumer builds diversity between the powerful woody leathery notes and the luminous osmanthus flower with its light fruity apricot facets.
PERFUMERS SECRET
For the sixth release of the Absolus d’Orient collection, Thierry Wasser creates a bewitching fragrance with the powerful leather note, while the osmanthus flower brings a sweet and apricot facet. The Virginian cedarwood adds structure to the deep and mysterious creation with the woody note that sublimates and unveils the diversity between the raw materials.

INSPIRATION
Roman orator and statesman Cicero condemned to death a group of conspirators plotting to overthrow him with the chilling understatement “Vixere” – to have lived.

INSPIRATION
