Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its strong projection and unique scent profile, often described as 'bubblegum fabric softener', make it a bit much for the office but perfect for casual outings and dates. While fresh, its sweetness and performance are too potent for formal settings or heavy sports.

Declarable allergens

About

Le Mâle Eau Fraîche André opens with a surprising hit of mint and aldehydes, reminiscent of fresh laundry or bubblegum. This energetic cleanliness leads into an aromatic heart of sage and geranium, lending a subtle green edge. The journey culminates in a warm, sweet base of vanilla, tonka, and sandalwood, amplified by Iso E Super, giving it a soft, woody-amber finish that lingers.
