The Story
Méchant Loup is a bold, nutty gourmand that smells like a walk through a forest with a pocket full of honey and almonds. It opens with a blast of anise and hazelnut, then settles into a warm, woody base of honey and sandalwood. This is a quirky, charming scent that feels both rustic and sophisticated.

Encyclopedia Insights
Is Méchant Loup sweet?+
It has a noticeable sweetness from honey and tonka, but it's balanced by woody and nutty notes, so it's not cloying.
How does it perform?+
Expect around 7 hours of longevity with moderate sillage. It projects well for the first few hours then settles closer to skin.
Is this a safe blind buy?+
Not really. The anise and hazelnut combination is unusual, so I recommend sampling first unless you love nutty gourmands.
