Le Mâle Summer Fragrance 2012

It opens with mint, cardamom and lavender, cool and aromatic. Grass and green leaves in the heart add an outdoor, leafy feel. In the base, vanilla, musk and sandalwood soften and sweeten it, and the fruity and oriental touches settle into a powdery warmth.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it keeps a quiet presence through the day. Most voters link it to leisure and everyday wear, and some choose it for work or sport. Its light build suits warm days.
