I think not. Nor should popularity be a sin, but it is this, what "Le Male" is being blamed of quite frequently. And yes, this fragrance is a "weapon", in terms of intensity only excelled by "Joop! Homme" to my opinion. And yes, this a commonly used fragrance and it is used by a lot of people I cannot identify with (nor do I want to) and – even worse - who cannot dose properly. And yes, I sensed it even in the office the other day and this is hardly the right place for Le Male.
Still, it is a magnificent fragrance – the oriental sweetness, supported mainly by notes of mint and cinnamon in combination with an exhilarating seasoning is special and does appear "crispier" than in all other fragrances I know of. This is why I still like to wear it, when I go out and am in the right mood for it.
