The Scent
The richest, most indulgent flanker of Le Male. Fresh lavender and mint open with real bite, then vanilla and benzoin, over a deep base of honey, tonka, and tobacco. Sweet, warm, and a little animalic from the honey, it's cozy and bold at once. Strong projection and long wear, a scent for cold evenings and nights out.
Worth Knowing
It's the work of Quentin Bisch, one of the fragrance world's most in-demand noses, whose other credits include the celebrated niche release Ganymede.
Where It Came From
Released in 2023, and it's since grown into its own family with an Elixir Absolu flanker in 2025.
