Sensitive and daring. He is pure temptation forever tattooed in the hearts of those who cross his path. A big sensitive heart behind his virile appearance, Le Male Lover has arrived to make you stagger.Dazzling sun and salt-kissed skin. With the sea as a horizon, Le Male Lover is so sensual. This eau de parfum captures the essence of wet skin on hot sand, caressed by the cooling ocean spray. Infused with an amber breeze spiked with a touch of pepper and finger lime. At its heart lies carnal ambergris with its soft, musky warmth. The sensuality climaxes with notes of wood and vanilla.

For perfumers, the olfactive memory of skin becomes another tool to idealize and preserve in our memory the contours of physical love.AD 134, Villa Adriana, Tivoli, Italy.Such was the love emperor Hadrian had for his favorite Antinoös, that he commissioned thousands of sculptures to memorialize him after his demise. Like the contours of a statue, the physical and spiritual presence of the body is likewise defined by a fragrant silhouette. Here is the emperor recalling his lover: the touch and smell of him, the warm redolence of skin, the soft musk at the nape of the neck. Paying tribute to the beloved, like Hadrian did Antinoös, this fragrance captures the memory of skin, conjuring intimacy and closeness, and living in our hearts and minds as an idealized scent.Developed with Rodrigo Flores-RouxThe nape of the neck, the idealized scent of a lover, and a lost embrace.
