About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Le Male, launched in 1995, is a defining Oriental Fougere that still feels bold and unmistakable. The opening is a bracing aromatic burst: lavender and mint lead, sharpened by cardamom, bergamot, and a touch of artemisia. This fresh, green-tinged top quickly gives way to a spicy heart where cinnamon and caraway add warmth, while orange blossom lends a subtle floral lift.
The base is where Le Male earns its reputation: vanilla and tonka bean create a creamy, sweet foundation, anchored by amber, sandalwood, and cedar. The result is a smooth, warm, and slightly powdery finish that lingers for hours. It suits collectors who appreciate a classic, unapologetically masculine scent with a distinctive character. Ideal for evening wear or cooler months, it remains a staple for those who value a fragrance that balances freshness with deep, resinous sweetness. Whether you're revisiting a vintage bottle or discovering it for the first time, Le Male offers a rich, nostalgic experience.
