Le Male Summer 2013 is a lighter, fresher interpretation of the iconic original Le Male, designed to be worn during spring and early summer. It retains the core aromatic and lavender-rich character of the original but tones down the intensity and sweetness, resulting in a more airy and wearable profile. The green and aromatic accords give it a crisp, slightly herbal opening, while the vanilla and musk base adds a soft, powdery warmth. Despite having moderate longevity and moderate sillage, it projects with surprising clarity and freshness, especially in warm weather. The bottle design is widely praised as elegant and tattoo-inspired, adding to the fragrance’s appeal. Most appreciate it as a clever budget-friendly alternative to the original Le Male, particularly for those who love the original but want something more appropriate for warmer days.
