The Story
Le Lion is a bold, smoky-woody fragrance that captures the spirit of the king of beasts. Nathalie Lorson blends a sharp bergamot opening with a heart of spicy pink pepper and rich labdanum, all resting on a base of leathery birch and creamy sandalwood. It's a confident, modern classic that feels both wild and refined.
