In the Indonesian jungle…

In Sanskrit, Jangala designates a natural wilderness area, a jungle. 

The term sums up the olfactory world imagined by Pierre Guillaume in this woody, aromatic composition, infused with moist jungle air.

The top notes evoke the lush vegetation of a tropical forest after a rainfall: eucalyptus leaves, cardamom and rosewood blend with Thai herbs and Kahili ginger blossoms.

Rising from the moist earth, sandalwood vapor suffused with coconut and vetiver slowly warms the steamy, ozone-laced air.

Suddenly, birds stop chirping: silence, then a quiver and the glint of dark eyes… a tiger is crouching in the shadow.
