Jungle Jezebel Sarah Baker
by Sarah Baker Perfumes
Jungle Jezebel by Sarah Baker Perfumes is a flamboyant, opulent, and polarizing fragrance that channels the audacious spirit of drag icon Divine. It opens with a bold, sweet, and playful burst of banana, bubblegum, peaches, and grapes—quickly followed by an intense, animalic core dominated by civet, which fans out into a warm, dense blend of ylang-ylang, tuberose, amber, and vanilla. Over time, the fragrance reveals layers of indolic floral richness and smoky vetiver, giving it a vintage, almost vintage-musky warmth. It projects powerfully, with standout longevity and sillage, particularly on cooler nights. The scent evolves dramatically between skin and paper, sometimes appearing more frivolously fruity on paper but transforming into a truly intense, complex animalic trail on skin—where it becomes more opulent and less predictable. The experience is best approached with a sense of adventure, as it is not conventional or neutral; it’s confrontational, theatrical, and resolutely unapologetic. Ideal for those who embrace boldness and enjoy fragrances that push boundaries, especially in winter nights or for creative, performative settings.
Pros
- +Highly long-lasting and projecting sillage makes it ideal for nightwear and statement dressing.
- +A unique, deeply layered journey that transforms significantly between paper and skin, with complex animalic and floral depth.
- +Offers a bold, artistic narrative tied to Divine, perfect for those who appreciate olfactory storytelling and avant-garde perfumery.
Cons
- −Extremely animalic and synthetic civet may be overwhelming or repellent to those sensitive to funk or musk notes.
- −The opening includes a strong bubblegum note that some find artificial or unpleasant, especially up close.
- −Not suitable for casual or professional settings; its boldness may be perceived as shocking or offensive by some.
