Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet legendary, Fleur du Mâle is a floral powerhouse for men who dare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often praised as a masterpiece but equally slammed as 'toilet cleaner'.
This green, fresh powerhouse is a divisive blast of invigorating nature. Opinion is split between a clean, zen-like experience and an overpowering, soapy assault. Not for the faint-hearted or those who dislike strong green notes.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Its powerful projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, where it could overwhelm. However, its unique, seductive floral character is perfect for dates and evening events, commanding attention without being overtly 'dressy'.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its potent projection and impressive longevity, frequently mentioned in reviews, might be a bit much for a formal setting or close office quarters. However, its refreshing green and citrus profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and even post-sport to feel revitalised.
