To Be Exotic Jungle Men
If you already know the scent, Police To Be Exotic Jungle Men Eau de Toilette 125ml is the size to buy, since this is a composition that rewards being applied with a free hand. It begins bright and dry. Bergamot is bitter and clean, mandarin orange is the sweeter and rounder of the two citrus materials, and black pepper runs a prickling dryness through both so the opening has some grit to it. That stage is short.
What replaces it is unexpected in a men's fragrance. Rose and apple make up the entire middle: the rose kept dry and green rather than rich, the apple tart and crisp beside it, the two of them holding each other in balance for a good hour and a half. It is the reason this scent gets remembered, and anyone who assumes a flower like that cannot be worn by a man should try it before deciding. Underneath, four materials see it out. Vetiver brings dry earth and a wisp of smoke, cedarwood smells of a cigar box, sandalwood is creamy, and musk clean and soft against the skin, and between them they keep the last hours smooth rather than sharp. Olivier Pescheux composed it, it came out in 2019, and at eau de toilette strength you can be generous without anyone minding. Expect a strong first hour and then steady, close company for most of a day. It suits spring, autumn, work and daytime equally, and at 125ml the cost per wear is as low as anything the brand sells.
The brand is Italian, held by the De Rigo Group, and 1983 is when it began selling eyewear. Fragrance arrived later under licence, for both men and women, from 1997, and the To Be name has since become the part of the range most people recognise.
