Masculin Pluriel opens with a dry, clean grapefruit touch, then quickly moves into a lavender fougère breath. In the heart, lavender, a soft leather accord, and cedar create a composed profile without sharp edges. As it develops, the woody line grows warmer, while patchouli adds an earthy, slightly damp depth. Vetiver in the base keeps the structure cool and disciplined, preventing any sugary turn. Projection is moderate and controlled: noticeable at close range without flooding the room. It suits office hours, business settings, and calm evening wear when a clean, confident woody-leather tone feels right.
