Timeless classic. Some say it is dated, but I still you can pull it off for many years to come.
I used to wear it in my youth, like 25 years ago. It smells the same, but something is missing, and the magic dissappears after 5 minutes leaving a Mugler-es que, sweet aroma-chemical soup. Maybe it was always thus, but I remember it being special.
While Le Male has a classical significance in the fragrance world, I find current formulations to be a bit of a synthetic mess. It opens with a heavy dose of lavender front and centre, with a touch of warm cardamom and a sharpness coming from mint and bergamot. It’s got a relatively spicy heart of cinnamon and caraway, with a sweet base of vanilla and tonka. The main combination of notes here is lavender, mint and vanilla - while the lavender and vanilla work nicely together, to me the mint feels out of place and comes across a bit sickly, reminiscent of Eros almost. There’s no denying this is a classic release in men’s fragrances, but these days it just doesn’t hold up when there are far better options out there. I’d say if you have the money, just get Reflection Man and be done with it.
Love this fragrance girls love it and I get crazy complements
