What does Le Mâle in the Navy smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office come up most often. It reads masculine and modern.
It opens with a cool peppermint, and marine notes at the heart give it an aquatic feel. Vanilla sweetens the base, while ambergris adds a soft warmth. A woody touch sits over the fresh, citrusy, green backbone.
