By the editors · 2 min readL'Eau au Masculin strips the original 2001 Au Masculin of nearly everything that made it strange. Lemon verbena, Italian lemon, and pink pepper open clean and bright — a citrus aromatic, basically, with no licorice in sight.
The heart adds a small floral twist: woodsorrel violet and jasmine over a faint green. It's an unusual move for a men's flanker — most go in the herbal-spicy direction, where this one takes a step toward delicate. Still recognizably masculine, but more soft-shouldered.
Vetiver and the house's 'olive tree' accord finish dry, slightly briny, with no tonka and no praline. A summer-weight cousin to the gourmand parent rather than a true sequel — more like a different fragrance with a shared cap. Brief wear.
