The daquiri, which lasts all the way through the drydown, gets pretty subtle but still has enough presence with the cardamom to make the composition both more interesting and sexy.

Also has a pronounced fresh aspect from the lemon and sage that makes this great even through spring.It has a rich, multilayered scent, perfect for fall and winter, it projects decently, and lasts for hours.

And they know I wear cologne frequently so this can definitely compete with many top designer scents. What I will say is I will no longer be purchasing le male as it's new reformulation is trash as it is. It's very pleasant, and I don't get anything I usually dislike (strong lavender, noticeable chemicals such as dihydromyrcenol, calone, iso e super, cashmeran, etc. I see no reason to own the YSL anymore with this being a direct replacement and at fraction of the cost.Like just about a lot of Halloween other offering, is taking the DNA of a very popular scent profile and tweaking it just a smidgen. My 2nd wearing of this fragrance, and how I love the scent due to my nose still detects that vanilla and iris with lemon daiquiri, cardamom and pepper which is unique to my nose. This fragrance has a certain individuality but trails a DNA path that is dominated by some heavyweight designers. Its scent DNA is positioned somewhere between Valentino Uomo, Dior Homme, CH Men Privé and YSL La Nuit de l'Homme.
