Modelled profile

Grapefruit and pink pepper spark over vetiver and warm amber. It reads fresh at first, then settles into a smooth ambery-woody warmth that glows.

The Dry Warmth

Warm enough to be felt. Dry enough to mean it.

The warmth here is firm. It arrives unapologetic and stays put. Substance comes first, every time.

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Projectionmid-range0.46

Le Male Terrible sits mid-range on projection. That is 39th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.17

Le Male Terrible is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 7th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.42

Le Male Terrible carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.36

Le Male Terrible carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
