Spicy Kenzo Jungle. It’s that spicy Christmas candle at the back of your cabinet, it’s the potted fake pines at Homesense, it’s the office of your coworker with the jangly Rudolph earrings.
This is one I’ve been saving for cooler weather, but I still don’t think it’s cool enough outside. It’s a pungent cardamom/cinnamon juice that’s definitely not chai, because it’s missing any lactonic smoothness to mellow out that spice. It’s also missing black tea, which happens to be a key component of chai. You’d think it would be pumpkin spice, but there’s very little sweetness and it’s so outdoorsy.
I don’t know whether I love this but it gets lots of traction on Instagram. People really adore it and I hear that it works well on warm skin or in warm weather. I don’t know. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I can live without it.
Have you smelled this? What do you think of it?
