Our verdict on Fleur du Mâle: Acquired

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'.

About

Fleur du Mâle kicks off with a bright, green burst of petitgrain, quickly mellowing into a lush, aromatic heart of neroli and orange blossom. As it settles, herbal notes of basil and chamomile emerge, providing a sophisticated, slightly powdery and clean freshness, balanced by an intriguing underlying warmth that some find animalic.
