L'Artisan Parfumeur Méchant Loup is a masculine scent that opens fresh and green, then settles into something sweet, gourmand and woody; it leans towards autumn and relaxed hours.

What does Méchant Loup smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn, with winter and spring following and summer trailing. Leisure, evening and daily wear come first. It reads mainly masculine, though a fair share of voters call it feminine.

Pepper and liquorice lead. Hazelnut, chestnut and hazelnut wood soften the heart into a sweet, nutty warmth. The base of myrrh, tonka bean, cedarwood, gaiac wood and honey dries down resinous and earthy.
