What do reviewers say about Le Male Terrible and Icon Gold?
The grapefruit and pink pepper give this fragrance an electric opening. It builds on Le Male's classic lavender-vanilla structure but feels brighter, more contemporary.Le Male Terrible
Bold compositions divide opinion. This one sits firmly in the confident corner, spicy, aromatic, a little loud when it needs to be. You'll either want to bathe in it or find it too much.Icon Gold
