Chemystery Le Male Cologne
It's the year 2000, just 5 years ago Jean Paul Gaultier launched Le Male, the most hyped fragrance at the time. As is still the case today, there are many imitators who pick up on existing themes. Even popular fragrances from the 80s are still being "duped" to this day.
Chemistery is no exception to the above fragrance, especially as it has a little more independence.
Tendenza Eau de Toilette
Maa Arwaak for Him
BalMan
And just Chemystery
These are the four fragrances that reach the same destination side by side. There is always a hint of Le Male in the background.
That doesn't have to be a bad thing, of course, but when you consider that at the turn of the millennium the Le Male theme extended to the drugstore theme Cabana Eau de Toilette Cuba Gold Eau de Toilette, you just roll your eyes at some point and hope for more independence again in the future. Fortunately, perfumers have made the leap in the following years and produced new creations such as Paco Rabanne with his 1 Million Eau de Toilette
But here, too, the tiresome copy/paste issue...
After all, the Ajmal itself starts fresher, a little more herbaceous, and then gradually moves into the tiresome vanilla, tonka and lavender base.
I wouldn't rate it that highly, but I love fragrances from the 90s/2000s. For me, even the last Le Male dupe is still better than most men's fragrances of today, with the exception of Phantom
It has won me over since the first spray. It's about time it finally found its way into my collection!
