678 reviewsJean Paul Gaultier Le Male è un profumo fresco, raffinato ed elegante. Con note di menta e vaniglia, è una fragranza originale e riconoscibile. Perfetto come regalo per un pubblico giovane, soprattutto grazie al prezzo accessibile per un profumo che dura e si fa sentire.
Very good cologne, very clean smell, lasts around 7 hours on skin and projects for 3 hours. Amazing value for money since it is a cheap designer and can be worn almost year round. Packaging and presentation is amazing as expected from JPG.
To start this review, I wouldn't say that this is a cologne that every men should know, but HAVE. Even 1 bottle, at least once in their lives.
Le Male is an oriental fougère fragrance. For those who do not know, fougères have as predominant notes, combinations of lavender, bergamot, geranium, oakmoss, coumarin and amber. It is not necessary to have all these notes for a fragrance to be considered a fougère; but bergamot, oakmoss and lavender are virtually essential for a good fougère. The oriental part is on behalf of notes like vanilla, cinnamon and sandalwood.
Le Male is an intense, sensitive and masculine scent and, at the same time, modern and sexy. I'd even say cozy! In my humble opinion, Le Male is not a cologne for teens, even those who want to look 10 years older, just to impress the girls. The target audience for this fragrance are men over 25 years old.
I consider it ideal for night time, also could be worn in a ballad - in order to make it clear that the man who wears it wants to mark his territory - or in a nice romantic date. On the other hand, I don't think it’s good for hot days, because the aroma doesn't match and the effect can be devastating, as it is a sweet, dry and strong fragrance.
The evolution of this scent, at least on my skin, it's not the greatest, because I think it's quite linear from the start to the end. However, the trail and its durability on the skin are unique characteristics, which put it at the top of the perfumery world. I can guarantee, easily, between 8 to 12 hours of lasting!
For those who don't know its aroma, there are some similar colognes on the market that, changing a little bit here and there, tried to imitate this classic fragrance, which is a big seller in the world, until nowadays. They are: Cuba Gold, 212 Sexy, Romero Britto, Jacomo Rouge, etc.
