SyntheticWhat does Le Beau Mâle smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often, while few choose it for nights out. Most voters call it masculine, and some find it modern.
It opens with mint and absinth, cool and green. Sage, lavender and orange blossom add a floral softness in the heart, and musk remains at the base. The overall feel is aquatic and spicy, with a little sweetness. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Mâle Summer Fragrance 2014 and MAD Parfumeur Divine Tough have a close profile.
