But I'll never stop wearing it. It's beautiful. And every woman who's ever smelled me, almost falls in love immediately.

  • @sumandre

    I first wore this when it was first released. I'm nearly 50 and still adore this scent. I only buy vintage Le Male. There's something addictive about pairing of mint, wormwood and vanilla. This strongly recalls Pour un Homme de Caron, another iconic classic with lavender and vanilla.

  • @gooddaymate1171
    @gooddaymate1171 2 года назад +6

    Absolutely worth it!! The performance isn't a beast like it once was, but it's way better now. Beast projecting fragrances are nose rape. This new formulation still gives great performance. The scent bubble and scent trail are phenomenal. And it lasts all day long! Still gets tons of compliments from this one.

    • @engell3707
      @engell3707 2 года назад +2

  • @nathanbradleyf777
    @nathanbradleyf777 3 года назад +6

    Le Male is still worth it but it was a very different fragrance when it was first released. I can remember it like it was yesterday. You couldn't wash that stuff off. It was glorious. My favorite Le Male now is the Superman one Eau Fraiche I think it is.. I get more compliments when I wear that one than almost anything in my collection.

    I don’t know what it is about this fragrance but I can’t say no to it. I was put off the first time I smelled it and walked out Ultra Male instead. I was gifted this bottle and now I’ll find myself wearing it anytime I don’t have a specific fragrance in mind. So I can see both sides but you do provide validity.

    @harveytrevino2257 4 месяца назад

    I've owned a bottle of Le Male since about 1999. Over the years, Amouage Reflection Man has been released, PDM Darley, and most recently, Gucci Guilty Elixir. Although each of the aforementioned fragrances all live withon the same basic wheelhouse, each have their own nuances that make it different.
    And for me, that has kept the DNA alive to this day. ❤
    However, i do agree, it can be challenging to the younger crowd.
    In reference to the reformulations, it has made it weaker, but it's also made it more wearable in more weather conditions. here used to ne a heavoer body odor/cumin smell that used to mix terribly with my skin on warmer days. So, this is a rare instance where reformulation has actually actually helped. in my opinion.

    I have it and have had it for 10 years or so. It is still unique to my nose, and has had a new rise in popularity at least here in Finland. It still has compliments and my lady loves it. Sadly the modern formulation is much worse than it was in my first bottle in the early 2000s, but the scent has nostalgia factor for me. For a newcomer, you need to smell this yes. But bottleworthy... that’s only for you to decide 😊

    Milton-Lloyd Bondage Hommes is a clone of the vintage version of this. It is strong and long-lasting! (Le Male is weaker) I also have a newer bottle of Le Male and prefer the Milton-Lloyd. Costs only $11 and I have niche and high-end designers so I wouldn't lie. The bottle sprays like a deodorant but still. I bought a bottle and couldn't believe it was as strong as it was for the price.

    I have to disagree with you Steven. In my opinion none of its flankers is better than the original. Most of them are generic and juvenile unsuitable for someone over 17 years of age. Louder maybe yes. But better? Le Male is a modern fougere. Yes its been reformulated to death but still is better than most designer releases out there with all their ambroxin- ozonic aspects that make me personally feel disappointed with what all these houses ended up to.( excuse my english) . As for the Amouage Reflection similarities that many people find, i personally don't find them similar. All the best.

      @@DMDL669 what I learnt in these years is to stock up on a perfume when I like one because next time I go it will be 99% reformulated for any kind of reason. Some blame new regulations but often they reformulate modern fragrances made observing the regulations after just a few years and always for the worst. They hook you up on a strong great fragrance (Eros, Savage, Dylan Blue, Armani Code) then after a while they start watering down the formula. Hell even Zara started doing that now with Vibrant Leather and others.

PUIG changed things around 2015-2017. 2. bottles from 1995 to 2015 have slowly seen the digression of performance. The biggest being the vanilla and mint notes. Longevity & sillage also digress. 3. The "freshness" also seemed to digress. 4. Purchase only vintage bottles b4 2015 in order to get that longevity and sillage. Right around 2011, there was a major reformulation & again in 2015. 2011 to 2014 still has great performance. Then, in 2015 mid year, there was a tweaking to the formula so I understood. Vintage Le Male will cost you a fortune. So, go for the Dua, Milton lloyd or Cuba Gold.
    Alternatives: the absolute closest are to the Le Male 1995 scent are DUA MAN PARFUM EXTRAIT for $60 per 30ml. Milton Lloyd Bondage Homme for $11. Incredible performance on both of these. Also Cuba Gold edt, good bang for the buck.

    Anyone who would recommend Cuba Gold over Le Male has no business being a fragrance influencer because they lose all credibility 🤦🏻‍♂️

      Correct. What is it with these “reviews” saying shit like that. Le Male is GOAT.

    I been sampling several Barbershop fragrances. I’m trying to find a good Signature Barbershop fragrance. I have Cuba Gold and it doesn’t perform as good as Le Male. Le Male is actually leading the pack because it has better performance than almost all of the other Barbershop fragrances I’m sampling. Xerjoff Homme Parfum definitely wins in the performance category but pricey.

    This guy is CRAZY! Lol. I mean seriously no offense, but really!? It’s not worth buying!? My wife is 28 and loves this on me. Also I’ve worn it to work on more than one occasion and have gotten many compliments and one women wanting to buy it for her husband now. This fragrance is a masterpiece for its day and will never be discontinued. It’s the perfect versatile fragrance. You get fresh, green and sweetness in this whole fragrance. There’s never a bad time to own this fragrance. A hundred years from now this fragrance will still be worth owning and buying.

    Thinking buying it tomorrow 25y anniversary as well. I don’t like the first reiteration it was too feminine for me and stuffy . Ultra male was amazing but can’t find it anymore will probably buy the original again . And I don’t understand this do you want to smell like 1990s while people will tell you to buy aventus for another 100 years. This is Francis kurdijan as well

    Love this one, but it took a while before I grew to appreciate it. I only wear the vintage version. I've tried all these cheap clones:
    Cuba Gold
    Sexy Boy (original)
    Diplomate Tropical Feeling
    The best of those three is Diplomate, if you can find it. It lasts the longest with the vanilla dry-down and got me compliments. Cuba Gold and Sexy Boy are really weak, but the price is nice.

  • @CxerRy96
    @CxerRy96 3 года назад +1

    In my opinion, if your budget is $100 or more then no, however I've seen the 125ML (4.2 OZ) bottle of Le Male at discounters for $35-40...if you find it at that price point I'd say buy it to have one your collection, even if you use it just a few times per year.

    It's UNIQUE. Instantly recognisable. Only bought it in 1996 and 2013 but I simply don't care about copy cats.
    Yes, I'll pay Gaultier the full retail price. It's worth my money and it was never too expensive anyway. It ain't no Baccarat ransom!! 😂

    I’m late to the Le Male party. But it’s my favorite cold weather fragrance. (Le Male EAU Fraiche is my favorite spring time fragrance).
    I am beyond disappointed that it smells like a sweet mess now. And Dua Man smells harsher, more like Le Male Terrible. Le Male is the best.

This smell is my personal time machine, takes me back when I was young , dumb n full or c**💦

    @MDP673NJ1 3 года назад

    Yes it's still worth it depending upon the price. Drakkar noir, aqua di Gio, JPG le male, ysl la nuite and I'll throw in versace the dreamer as well, these are iconic. Unique when they were first release and awesome smelling, they have stood the test of time. To me they don't smell dated at all...just because they're not super sweet.

    I order one at Walgreens using a coupon for 49.00.

Not sure if it is an old batch though. Great vide and great information.

    @martysnarf 3 года назад

    I will say it’s worth it simply because it can be had so cheap at discounters. No, it’s not the same as it used to be and it’s definitely weaker, but for a “dumb reach” for certain situations at $30 or $45 bucks, I think it still has some value and nostalgia. Plus, it just plain smells good! I am strictly coming from not comparing it to the original; just standing on its own now for a super-cheap dumb reach, I think there’s still some value there. Thanks for the great video as always!!

    Girls just really love and fall in love with this scent, it is so versatile and perfect as a signature scent, its absolutley worth it.
    Of course it might not be as strong long lasting as it was 20 years ago lasting for at least 24 hours, but still it is strong and does its 8+ hours on skin which is pretty good nowadays to be honest.

  • @brunomatos3724
    @brunomatos3724 3 года назад +2

    Le male is not the same any more, just a shadow of itself, this is aplicable to all perfumes from the past, you can blame IFRA and EU law. Indie is the best way to go if you want fragrances with depth and richness.

    @RPD91 3 года назад

    For some reason, Le Male was just released a year ago in my region (yes the original) alongside the Essence flanker but they didn't release ultra male. They are trying push it like crazy. Good thing I watched this video, it was very informative. A suggestion if I may, would you consider doing a video on Kouros? I think it's still somewhat relative as I still see it in major retailers like Sephora.

    @bandawhat33 3 года назад

    It's worth it. It sucks that it's been reformulated and it's not as strong and slightly different. But it's still an awesome smelling fragrance. I used to spray some on myself from my brother's bottle back in the mid 90's when I was a kid. My brother never knew I did this. I also used to use Polo Green. Those are my 2 nostalgic colognes. oh and also the cuba cigar colognes. I remember having those. But Le Male is just a unique different scent and it's timeless. It's not offensive like some colognes. I feel you can't go wrong with it.

  • @GustavoBorelli0
    @GustavoBorelli0 3 года назад +1

    Not worth it in 2020! I have a bottle from a 2018 batch and it is very watered down. Performance is dismal and even Le Beau Male (now discontinued but which I do own) is a better performer than the current batches of the original Le Male. And Le Beau Male was never a strong player in the performance field. The current batches of the original Le Male lost the powdery nuances it used to possess and the vanilla note is very muted or undetectable, at least to my nose. Vanilla was very present in old batches. Puig destroyed the essence of this fragrance with the reformulations.
