PowderyWhat does Fleur du Mâle smell like?
It opens with petitgrain, then turns floral at the heart with neroli and orange blossom. The base of chamomile, basil and coumarin sets a sweet, spicy, powdery ground, while the synthetic accord adds a clean, polished edge.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick spring and summer, and night out and leisure are the most named occasions. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it feminine. Fleur du Mâle La Cologne and Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Flora Nerolia have a close profile.
