To Be Exotic Jungle For Woman

Most of the reviews give the impression that this perfume is sharp or heavy. It is actually amazing, sweet and smooth, nothing nauseating or obnoxious. To me it's a safe blind buy if you like the Black Opium type of almondy woody perfumes, since this has the powdery almondy heliotrope and the earthy patchouli which is not the usual peppery spicy obnoxious patchouli in this just as it is not spicy and peppery in BO. The suede is giving that BO cashmere woody feel, without being balsamic and heavy as the cashmere note is. This is jasmine-based too like BO. The osmanthus is like a soft apricot-like floral note in this as well, and it also amplifies the overall milky effect of the perfume which pairs nicely with the buttery feel that the suede lends. I don't smell much of the leathery quality of the osmanthus here, unlike in To be My Avatar which is very leathery, but it kinda is leathery at first in the opening. The drydown is more powdery-almondy from the heliotrope. It also has an intense woody undertone that is slightly musky sour almost like sandalwood at first, perhaps the black currant effect along with the suede but it is smoother by the suede eventually later into the drydown. The plum is also the sweet ripe plum, reminiscent of the smooth woody sweet plum in Katy Perry's Indi. I def smell Indi's plum in this especially in the opening and even from the sprayer, also due to the almondy tonka of Indi and the heliotrope here, but this is just one element of To be Exotic - it doesn't entirely smell like Indi. The opening is impressive. The rest is really like the middle and base notes of Black Opium with some of the La Nuit Tresor's gourmand sweetness, even though the latter is much heavier which I don't like. It lacks the annoying coffee-orange blossom -pear blend of Black Opium, but it has a similar smooth woody almond feel, much lighter than the cashmere of BO as I said. Lasting power is amazing. I wore it on a trip and I smelled it on me even after 8 hours. This is very underrated. To me it's incredible. My new favorite for sure, I can't stop wearing it.

85% Lancôme's 'La Nuit Trésor à la Folie'. This is a literal dupe for it and a sophisticated, great-quality one at that. You can't convince me otherwise...they are on opposite arms as I test! The differences you ask? 'à la Folie' is resinous/syrupy, slightly spicier and has that subtly-distinguishable rose note. But they share the EXACT same DNA. I cannot emphasize enough how similar they are! 'Exotic Jungle' has a more juicy/fruity-sweet opening: the blackcurrant and plum are prominent. I don't get any lemons or mangoes at all. After 15 minutes they become the same amount of sweetness on my skin. Actually the suede note prevents this fragrance from becoming a vanilla-sugar overload, adding complexity. Around the 30-40 minute mark, 'à la Folie' gets SWEETER and more syrupy, while suede is more prominent on my skin with 'Exotic Jungle'. I get 0 jasmine, and the patchouli is blended exactly the same as 'à la Folie': a background player...sweet but a little earthy. In usual POLICE/Mavive Spa fashion, 'To Be Exotic Jungle' has impressive performance: massive silage and longevity, just like 'à la Folie'. I find this to be a wintertime crowd-pleaser. This could be easily worn at an office or date environment during chilly weather. It's undoubtedly elegant, feminine, luscious and sultry! Very well-blended 'To Be Exotic Jungle' is the BEST dupe for 'La Nuit Trésor à la Folie' on the market. It's even less sweet in the dry-down! I recommend this as a blind-buy if you're a fan of that scent (but you really don't need both). Don't sleep on this one people!

VANILLA, PLUM & SUEDE with Black-Currant. Inspired by La Nuit Trésor à la Folie Lancôme this isn't a dupe, but a good approximation with a twist. Opens with a burst of plum & black-currant accented by a tart lemon note (rather than the red-currant in LNTalF), that transitions to the floral heart of heliotrope, osmanthus & jasmine. Osmanthus here bringing faintly creamy, near-apricot tones, and heliotrope bringing powdery, near-cherry tones. This all rests on a vanilla base rounded with suede and patchouli. Suede here bringing some dark powdery facets that together with vanilla evoke tonka-bean in a way that also gives me reminders of other tonka-bean scents like Good Girl Carolina Herrera way into the drydown. Another oversimplified way of describing it would be the opening of La Nuit Trésor Lancôme (OG) with the drydown of Good Girl Carolina Herrera. Has excellent performance for a year round wearing experience - hard to believe they can make this for the price. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on what it could be. I'm leaning somewhere between the original CH Good Girl with a hint of Rihanna's Reb'l Fluer. Regardless, this is a stunning fragrance as an incredible price. This fragrance is proof that you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars for a quality perfume. The fragrance project very well and lasts forever fabrics. I wore a few days ago and I'm still smelling it on my pillow (and my dog. . .). As for the fragrance notes—I'm not sure I pick up on any of the florals, but I definitely get a plummy vanilla, which I love. This fragrance is very feminine in my opinion, but I don't find it to be too "girly". It feels more grown woman, but a woman who's fully embraced herself, isn't afraid to be silly and have fun. She's feminine without really trying. I love reaching for this fragrance in the spring and summer. However, I do find that it performs better when it's a bit cooler out.

I ADORE this fragrance. She’s such an affordable beautiful feminine powdery fruity light vanilla I can wear when it gets warm. Good longevity ~5-6 hours and ok sillage, just add more sprays. What's so odd is that when I wear this fragrance, I feel so awakened and refreshed. You'd think the fruity notes would make her cloying or sticky sweet but no not at all. Very refreshing in fact. And she smells expensive $. Great price for the 125mls you get!! Update: Btw if you love this fragrance, try Dior's hypnotic posion HP. Now I get why I love this fragrance so much because it reminds me of HP!! Police has that sweet powdery almond vanilla (almond coming from the heliotrope since heliotrope apparently has almond accords!) Police is like hypnotic poison but just slightly added tropical notes, it is not a dupe of HP because of its fruitiness but it's definitely in the same vein as HP.

Beautiful, easy reach to smell great to most people, not necessarily unique. Enjoyable and versatile- it rounds out and sweetens any other fragrance... It starts with a sweet fruitness- maybe the plum- and in the first minutes blends into what I imagine as a round, milky, slightly creamy, sweet vanilla (not really edible) and non-descript ripe fruit/s w'o any acidity. Feels soft around the edges from what seems like sweet ambrette/iris. Not in your face, but is present and lasts for most the day. Only down is the bottle: I can't see through to judge levels of what's left. So good.

Upon first spray, I thought wow this scent is amazing but it smells familiar. It was only when I checked fragrantica that I thought, omg, this is a much nicer version of La Nuit Tresor A La Folie. It did not first come to mind but yes, they are quite similar. Exotic Jungle is much brighter and fruitier than a la folie, where the tanginess of the fruits in the opening lasts throughout, which adds a bit more oomph to a la folie (if we are comparing). This is one for when you want to stand out, it is one of the nicest fragrances I have smelt in some time.

My signature fragrance. Stop wasting your money on high-end scents and get this instead. It smells delicious, and the performance is actually really good. I’d describe this perfume as divine feminine better than any Dior, Prada, Versace, or other high-end perfume you can think of. It smells sweet and delicious without feeling heavy. Plus, it’s affordable so I don’t feel any guilt when spraying it. I can spray it all over without the remorse you get from expensive fragrances. IMO it smells better than popular high-end perfumes.

Actually the company is very clever they made these to be line police perfume bottles so tacky so you can't carry them along bt they actually knew before that u don't even have to touch up these fragrance as these are extremely long lasting as well as sillage are also up to mark ..iam really impressed with police perfumes they r cheap bt amazing for their quality ... talking about the fragrance is sweet fruity tropical Powdery fragrance ..i absolutely loved it ..n i highly highly recommend these perfumes

Whilst I don't love the skull bottles, I have found that for the price point the range does include a few quite nice offerings, my fav being the recent Born to Shine. Anyhow, about this fruity floral, it's actually quite pleasant, more than I expected and easy to wear. It's very warm right now so I am not sure how different it will be in cooler weather, but it's a lovely daytime scent that has pleasant fruity notes. The dry down is nice and cosy. A fun youthful fragrance.

This is freaking amazing. I was nervous about this blind buy, but I absolutely love this. I don’t like Good Girl at all and this isn’t that thankfully. Definitely reminds me of Nuit Tresor à la Folie though! This is fruitier, but darkened by the subtle suede note. Extremely sexy! One of my top favourite cheapies and the best from my To Be collection. Highly recommend.

Took this out the stash to wear today because the weather is starting to warm up. I absolutely forgot how much I LOVE THIS perfume. It is a sweet, fruity scent. I definitely would characterize this as mass appealing. If you love La Vie or Opium, you will like this. This is definitely an all day scent.

The bestest ever... Better than the designer perfumes... You need only two sprays... Only two and they last for more than 6 hrs... Very sweet fragrance... Plum and patchouli are dominant.. Today is the cold day here on 24th December, and this lasts straight 10 hrs... So happy with the performance

Cheap, long lasting, sweet. A nice dupe of Lancome La Nuit Tresor a la Folie. This one performs super good on me. To Be Exotic Jungle is my favorite from this brand so far. Is this worth the price? Definitely. Will I repurchase this? 100% yes.

This one is really hard to find now. I want it so badly! I guess I'm the minority that friggin' loves the packaging 😀 Apparently it's quite similar to Lancome's 'La Nuit Tresor a la Folie', which is a beautiful perfume. Grrrr..so curious!!

The colorful skull looks cute and the juice inside is very nice dupe for La Nuit tresor a la folie - my all time favorite, sadly discontinued. So glad I have at least this alternative now. Silage is very good, longevity moderate. Love 💕

smell: sexy, intense, and romantic. rating: 9 of 10. projection: 6ft to 2m longevity: 8 hrs+ occasion: dating, dining, indoor and outdoor activity. not suitable for: small room (huge projection)

So chic & rebel at the same time. Love it! ⭐

If you don't want to spend $$$ or $$ on scents then this is a really decent option. It doesn't smell super expensive but I would have paid more than $20 for it! It's a bright juicy fruity floral, with decent complexity in the base notes. The suede with the purple fruit is interesting, they're nicely pulled together with the vanilla and the patchouli gives it a tiny kick. If patchouli scares you, dw, it's barely there and balances the creamy base notes with a touch green when the fruity top notes fade. Don't judge it on first spray - the citrus blast at the start is a bit overpowering and out of place, but it leaves quickly. I like the scent but hate the bottle. Whatever. Feels like one of those one and done fragrances that can work all year round and is appropriate for every occasion.... if that's your vibe.... It's not mine! I never reach for it, but am going to try bringing it into the rotation more, because it's genuinely good and fun to wear. To Be Born To Shine is good from Police too. This brand deserves more notoriety - it's batting above it's price point.

I blind bought the smallest (40ml) bottle of this based on seeing it for a bargain price and it having a rating above 4 (4.14 which is amazing for a ‘cheapie’). These bottles are quirky and not to everyone’s taste, but they fit a lot of juice in for their relatively small size, this one in teeny! It’s sweet and very fruity. At first there’s lots of blackcurrant and a hint of lemon, but then it all blends into ‘fruity floral vanilla’. I don’t detect the individual florals, but they are there, although it’s more fruity than floral As it dries the vanilla gets a bit stronger (as it usually does), but overall it’s just ok, I’m surprised the votes are so high (although if it’s a dupe for La Nuit Tresor A la Folie that could be why, I can’t comment on that as I’ve never smelled it). Edit. Have bought la folie. This smells NOTHING like it, as it lacks the benzoin and tonka that creates all the depth in la folie. I can’t believe so many say it’s similar! Nice enough for the price, but I’m glad I didn’t get a bigger bottle.
