The Scent

A warm, smooth designer oriental, and a deeper, sweeter turn on the classic Le Male. Cardamom opens it, then lavender and iris, over a creamy vanilla and woods base. Polished and easy to wear, with a soft spiced sweetness that reads dressy without trying. Strong wear and pleasant projection, a scent for evenings, dates, and cooler weather.

Worth Knowing

Perfumer Quentin Bisch kept the two signature notes people love from the original Le Male, lavender and cardamom, and rebuilt everything else around a warmer, more oriental woody backbone.

Where It Came From

Released in 2020 as a modern reinterpretation of the house's iconic 1995 original.

The fragrance line launched in 1993 and quickly became one of the house's most recognizable arms, known for bold, sculptural bottles and equally bold scents.
