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.

About

Le Male Love Actually opens with lavender, mint, artemisia, bergamot and cardamom, a fresh, aromatic start with a hint of spice. The heart brings cinnamon, orange blossom and caraway, adding warmth and a soft floral note. The base is sweet and woody, built from amber, sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean and cedar. It moves from cool and herbal to warm and creamy. A masculine fragrance by Francis Kurkdjian that suits cooler weather and casual evenings.
