Le Male Lover for men

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on white pepper and finger lime, moves through ambergris, sea notes and musk, and settles on vanilla and woody notes.

• ambergris: a warm, salty, faintly animal sweetness. Historically from whales, now almost always recreated in a lab
• sea notes: a general salt-and-air impression, invented rather than extracted

It lasts well and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
