LE MALE - EAU DE TOILETTE FOR MEN
"The bottle is a bust of a man of course, with a bit of muscle
but not too much, dressed in a sailor's top like me. The perfume
is a memory of old time barbers in its lavender scent of products
we used to put in our hair, and the lovely gesture, originally
exclusively masculine, of the atomizer whose bulb I braided to
make it more sophisticated. But it is more than nostalgic, it's
also modern in the association of scents reminiscent of sun-drenched
skin, sweets, happiness?
The attack is fresh like a strong peppermint with touches of artemisia,
bergamot and cardamom that really set the stage. Then lavender
comes through, wedded with orange blossom, cinnamon and cumin,
followed by the bottom notes with a touch of wood, musk, amber,
vanilla, Tonka bean, for a warm and caressing mixture.
