I'm almost out and frantically trying to get a hold of some.Does anyone know where I could get some or if anyone might have some at the back of their cupboard they'd be willing to sell me...?...?...?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660201547653982652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-53724650192519067072012-10-18T13:57:07.788-04:002012-10-18T13:57:07.788-04:00Hello !!

It was my one and only scent bought just before I got married about 14 years ago - used sparingly I'm just coming to the end of the bottle and still as much in love with it today as I was then.Sparklz and Shinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508302887446218534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-85619147201511702362008-12-07T10:04:00.000-05:002008-12-07T10:04:00.000-05:00I graduated from L'Instant (a Guerlain perfume) to...I graduated from L'Instant (a Guerlain perfume) to Jungle on my 25th birthday. When I wore it to class one morning (when sick with the flu and in need of perfume cheer), the people sitting in my vicinity asked: "what's that funny smell?" Lesson learned -- it's not a day fragrance. But at night, it has an almost mythical effect: it enchants some, it repels others; it's truly a signature. My clothes have come to be imbued with a slight warm "glow" of Kenzo Jungle, from spraying it on next to the clothes closet. It gets everywhere -- and I like it. But for sure, it takes chutzpah.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your well-written, evocative review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-22799040876190444382008-04-14T21:44:00.000-04:002008-04-14T21:44:00.000-04:00First of all that review was awesome, everything t...First of all that review was awesome, everything that needed to be, was stated clearly and really well. Yesss, L'Elephant is verrrry wild, very strong and unique. Me? I love it, I spray it, I wear it and enjoy it! You gotta have some guts to wear it, but if You don't - You might as well call Yourself a looser not to even give it a try! That fragrance really does smell like the jungle. However, there is a nice alternative for all of the loosers afraid to put some jungle on. It's name is even wilder, but the fragrance itself is softer. The name is Le Tigre, and it's a beautiful oriental composition. Starts with that mandarine and orange that only Kenzo does so yummmiiiii... No other perfumers make those citrus fruits smell so good, with a hit of spiciness and a depth, only Kenzo. It dries down smoothly into a cinnamon base. Now one more, thing: when I was shopping on Ebay I did see L'Elephant brooches! They sold them on Ebay, one was going for 19.95 another seller wanted us to splurge 29.95... They were gourgeous and it said limited edition too!

There was also a Kenzo Jungle for men, which I'm not sure is still in production. Can be searched on the Kenzo web site.<BR/><BR/>Mintti- You can search online and see if any of the discounters still has a few bottles in stock. That's how I got mine, but it was last summer, so not sure how if it's available now. <BR/>There are many great perfumes from many houses, big and small, and you'll have to order samples and sniff as much as you can. I'm pretty sure that you would have loved Fendi Theorema with its orangey goodness. Unfortunately it's another fallen perfume and bottles are becoming rare. <BR/>Look for perfumes with citrus fruit notes as well as cinnamon.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-52099087931149211342008-01-13T06:55:00.000-05:002008-01-13T06:55:00.000-05:00Great to hear somebody still remembers le tigre.

I'm from small town in Finland , and one fragnance store had stocked tigre,so until this Christmas i had a stable supply. When I visited the shop in Dec, somebody had bought rest of the perfumes. I mananged to by the 50 ml tester bottle. But that is all. Have absolutely no idea, what to do next. Any suggestion on where to order or perhaps some tips on other good fragnances?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-56724620197335699892008-01-09T12:22:00.000-05:002008-01-09T12:22:00.000-05:00kenzo tiger is still sold in europe but as a men's...kenzo tiger is still sold in europe but as a men's offering, i believe...elephant chokes me but i admire it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-35605408629482570482008-01-07T23:50:00.000-05:002008-01-07T23:50:00.000-05:00Anita- I'm glad that you like it and agree with yo...Anita- I'm glad that you like it and agree with your description. It's big and doesn't stop changing and demanding to be noticed, but it's also a lot of fun.<BR/><BR/>Gail- I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.

It smells absolutely marvelous on my husband - all the sweet notes seem to come out on him and all the spicy ones come out on me. I've never understood why Michael Edwards classifies it as a "soft oriental." There's really nothing soft about it, from my experience.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797020561712896621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-26932175113188142642008-01-05T11:22:00.000-05:002008-01-05T11:22:00.000-05:00Oh My Lord, this stuff is something else!

I was talking about this just the other day on MUA trying to decide between keeping it for the lovely bottle or swapping it to ensure that I never forgot and put it on my skin again! For some reason, the drydown never comes on me (L'Elephant) and all I get is hours of that overwhelming spice cloud. It's really pretty horrific on me unfortunately...Gail Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608261305380520337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-34003039421152860992008-01-05T10:01:00.000-05:002008-01-05T10:01:00.000-05:00I found a sample of Jungle L'Elephant on scentedmo...I found a sample of Jungle L'Elephant on scentedmonkey not long after March's post, and I fell in love! I've since obtained a sizey decant. On me, I get coconut along with the spices, which on paper sounds horrifying. The thing I love, though, is how the scent morphs continually while I'm wearing it. The transitions through the desserts, spices & woods and back again is fun, delicious and gorgeous. L'Elephant is not for every day; it's big and demands too much attention, but I love it when I'm in the mood. I'll probably wear it today, in fact :)rosaritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08543786960335162711noreply@blogger.com
