How Le Male Pride 2023 Smells: Notes & Development

Le Male Pride 2023 opens with Yuzu and Blood Orange — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Neroli and Orange Blossom. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Musk and Woody Notes.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Citrus, Floral, Musky, Fresh, Aromatic — easy to place and easy to wear.

Performance: Longevity, Sillage & Versatility
