Let’s begin with labdanum, a waxy tree resin with woody, ambery nuances, and the perfect note to temper lavender’s herbal nature. Can’t quite picture the aroma? Think the warm drydown of scents like Intense Euphoria for Men, or Prada Man. Now imagine the lavender of Gaultier’s Le Male —loud, proud, and sweet!—being rounded, softened, and tempered slightly by that woody resin. Can you picture…er, smell it? This is a good bottle that will keep you smelling fresh and spice up your wardrobe at the same time—a fantastic choice to use on evening events and special occasions.

I smell here a warm light powder, which starts with a very light freshness of the apple and from the heart almost takes on gourmand notes.

The whole thing has more to do with a clean man who doesn't want to attract further attention than with a business wolf. I myself will reach for him if I want to spare the level of his somewhat more expensive kindred spirits. I see similarities here, for example, to Dior Homme Intense, who conceived a child with Montblanc Individuel.

Nevertheless, I find the scent extraordinary and pleasant, not only at work, but also in the evening for going out, if you don't necessarily go to a club. There’s only one rule to taking advantage of its great scent: less is more. Presentation and Value For Money As I said this is just my own opinion; tastes are different. And that's good! For a long time I am looking for an all-rounder; something you can wear every day and especially in the office, without being intrusive. Now I have found this fragrance for me. If you’re going for the same vibe, Eros by the perfumer, Aurelian Guichard, has a scent reminiscent of a strong and passionate man; it’s intense, vibrant, and very noticeable. 2. YSL La Nuit de L’Homme The lavender scent remains but becomes smoother and subtler instead of being a potential headache inducer.
