What it smells like

Lionheart Man opens with a fresh, invigorating blast of mint and cool lavender, creating an energetic and crisp start. As it evolves, sweet vanilla and benzoin add warmth and a creamy sophistication, giving a smooth, comforting heart. The dry‑down settles into rich honey, tonka bean and tobacco, providing a warm, slightly sweet and rugged finish that feels both masculine and inviting — balancing freshness and depth beautifully.  

Fragrance communities frequently describe it as a refined gourmand‑leaning scent with a mintier spin compared to its inspiration, making it feel both youthful and versatile.

Performance

• Longevity: Long — commonly around 8+ hours on skin and often longer on clothing.  

• Sillage: Moderate to strong — noticeable without being overpowering.  

• Projection: Bright and fresh up front, evolving into a warm and substantial trail.  

Many reviewers and wearers note that letting the fragrance rest (macerate) can help soften any sharper top‑note edges and make the dry‑down even smoother.

Best for

• Evening wear & date nights, rich warmth and sweet amber base shine.  
• Cooler seasons (fall/winter), depth and sweetness work well in cold weather.  
• Special occasions & nights out, confident and memorable trail.  
• Fans of sweet spicy aromatic scents, especially lovers of mint‑vanilla tobacco blends.
