The Kingdom For Men

EDP2024

“Le Male Elixir’s honeyed swagger, turned up — the winter-night cologne for when you want the room to notice.”

vanilla

aromatic

sweet

Widely compared to Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir (2023), Lattafa's 2024 The Kingdom for Men pairs a lavender-mint opening with a vanilla-tobacco heart over a resinous base. Vanilla leads the accords, with aromatic, sweet and amber facets and a green edge from the mint. Wears strongest in winter and fall, evening-leaning.
