Mint

The opening is immediately recognisable to anyone who's ever been near a bottle of Le Male — that cool, almost medicinal mint hit that arrives clean and confident before anything else. It's not soft or sweet. It's sharp, fresh, and completely intentional. The first note that tells you exactly what kind of fragrance this is going to be.

Cardamom

Warm and slightly exotic, cardamom adds an aromatic spice underneath the mint that stops the opening from being purely cold. It's the first hint of warmth — the note that bridges the crisp top and the rich, sweet heart below. Without it, Le Male would be just another fresh masculine. With it, it's layered, complex, and entirely its own thing.

Lavender

The backbone of Le Male and the reason it's been a masculine benchmark since 1995. This isn't soft, floral lavender — it's cool, slightly camphoraceous, and deeply aromatic. It carries the mint forward and gives the heart its signature clean masculinity. This is the note that made Le Male the best-selling men's fragrance in the world, and the note no. 10 absolutely had to get right.

Cinnamon

A quiet warmth that starts to emerge as the lavender settles. Cinnamon introduces the sweetness that Le Male is known for — not overpowering, but present enough to make the heart feel rich and inviting. It's the note that transitions the scent from fresh and clean to warm and enveloping, and the reason Le Male appeals to people who don't normally like lavender fragrances.

Vanilla

The drydown reveal that made Le Male so groundbreaking when it launched — a rich, creamy vanilla that arrives unexpectedly from underneath all that clean lavender and mint. It's the contrast that makes this fragrance so compelling: cool and fresh at first, then warm and sweet hours later. This is the base that people describe when they say Le Male smells different on them than in the bottle.

Tonka Bean

Smooth, slightly powdery, and deeply comforting. Tonka bean gives the base its extraordinary longevity and adds a subtle almond-like warmth that rounds out the vanilla perfectly. It's what keeps no. 10 on skin for hours after application and what gives the drydown that signature softness that Le Male devotees have been chasing for thirty years.
