Ultra Male vs. Unisex for Everbody - sweet clubbing battle
Moin dear Parfumos and Parfumas,

(just a quick review? just scroll down) :-)

hope you are all well and enjoying the summer. I've been lying every afternoon on Warnemünde beach, the widest beach on the Baltic coast - at almost 150m - just under 10 minutes from my apartment, splashing around in the Baltic and watching the seagulls steal food from the tourists.

Yes, my life could definitely be worse currently and for that I am incredibly grateful:-D

That makes it all the more important to keep giving back as well. The storms in the south and west have clearly shown how small each individual is. But it also shows - now after - that together we are all much bigger than we think. Help (not just now) wherever you can. Be thankful for everything you have and enjoy your life. You only have this one!

But before it gets too philosophical, let's just get to the two protagonists of this review. To the Ultra Male and its more than three times as expensive counterpart unisex.

In advance, I will now get you mentally also on the beach so that you can also enjoy this wonderful feeling.

So please close your eyes. And now imagine that.......

Wait a minute!!! I think I made some kind of thinking mistake.....but what? Oh God.....you have to keep reading.....I hope you still have your eyes open. If so, please forget what I said!!! Do NOT close your eyes! We forget the beach feeling. :-)

Let's get started - today in the arena on the left the Ultra Male from JPG - on the other side the Unisex from the pirouetting Powerjeremy

Flacon: Ultra Male 9/10 - Unisex 7/10

Let's start with the JPG. Actually, everything is said about the "Le Male" Flakons. This male body simply has cult status and will still adorn the perfumeries in 50 years. Chic, valuable, sprayer quite okay. That fits.

The unisex bottle is, especially at this price, simply a joke. Design-technically we have here cheapest drugstore level. Also, the glass is neither thick, nor particularly valuable. Even the packaging of the bottle is really awful. Why still a 7? Simple - to my mind, we have one of the best sprayers I've ever had the pleasure of using. This thing is just insane. What a fine, dense spray. What a fine resistance when actuating. Nothing less than world class!

The fragrance: Ultra Male 8.5/10 - Unisex 8.5/10

Again, we start with the JPG -and again, I'll keep this short, because I think by now everyone should know how this fragrance smells. The fragrance starts with one of the most beautiful top notes in the designer field. This incredibly great JPG pear. (Parfumas know this one a little modified from La Belle) This one is synthetic (like any perfume pear), but still just bites. It's so bulky that the freshness of the mint and bergamot barely stand a chance. The fragrance starts out sweet and loud - and that's exactly how it stays.

After this dream pear top note comes the next main actor - the cinnamon. This one comes along without any spice and just hits sweet with it. Right up front. If you do not like sweet, then leave the fingers of both fragrances! In the base we have the third main actor. The vanilla. Especially in the last few hours, this one even gets a little woody. Nevertheless, this fragrance is loud and sweet from front to back - for me, nevertheless, just overloaded!

Let's move on to the unisex.

There are only two small differences. First, the dream pear from the top note is missing. One has tried to copy it, but the prelude from the JPG is still the better.

After a few minutes then, however, both are 95% identical. It is already a very brazen copy. Over hours, there is hardly any difference. But in the base then pleases with the unisex then suddenly better. The fragrance drifts out the back in a beautiful resinousness. Honestly? I would have been happy if this had been so from the beginning.

Short form: JPG to the start better. Unisex to the end. But the differences are so ridiculously small that I would not speak here of these fragrances being only "similar". They are 95% the same.

(Well dear Jeremy, given the price, copying so cheekily is similarly cool as telling topless and a little self-absorbed in front of thousands of people how horny you feel because you just had hot sex with "some hot woman". But no one does that, do they? *Power*)

Durability: Ultra Male 8/10 - Unisex 9/10

In a nutshell. The Ultra Male holds its eight hours (even the new batches). On clothes even the next day still noticeable. The unisex lasts even a little longer. However, he is also no Beast.

Sillage: Ultra Male 8/10 - Unisex 10/10

The Ultra Male is strongly projecting and room-filling in the first two hours. After that, however, it becomes skin tight.

The unisex is a typical extrait de parfum. Due to the high fragrance oil content, the fragrance radiates for hours consistently pleasant beyond an arm's length without flooding rooms. Perfect!

Compliments: Ultra Male 10/10 Unisex 10/10

I can only confirm what they say about the fragrances. The Ultra Male is one of the fragrances for which I have actually received the most compliments. I hardly know a woman who does not like this fragrance. At work, young or old, everyone thinks it's gorgeous. It still works - even today! The same goes for the unisex. Since he smells the same the reactions will also be the same.

Wearability: Ultra Male 7/10 - Unisex 7/10

Both fragrances are perfect for celebrating. Also for a date super suitable. Nevertheless, you can wear both fragrances well in everyday life. Exceptions? Business and temperatures above 15-20 degrees.

Price / performance: Ultramale 8/10 - Unisex 2/10

Honestly? 100ml for less than 50,00€ is more than fair and in order. The fragrance is definitely worth it. Why Jeremy for virtually the same fragrance converted over 200.00€ for 100ml aufruft is a mystery to me and simply ridiculous. This fragrance has nothing of a non fragrance. It is simply a copy of a (great) designer. The price is not just a joke. It's an outrage. (I have it halfway cheap ersoukt)

Conclusion: Well decide for yourself whether a slightly better durability and the nicer sillage are worth the extra price of 150,00€/100ml. The fragrances are actually (at least for my bumbling nose) to 95% the same. The bottle of JPG is definitely the nicer one. Even if the unisex admittedly has a sprayer from the other star. Nevertheless.

We have twice the same fragrance. Who has no idea where to put his money, which can get the unisex gladly. (or get in touch with me! I would have a custody for money that does not know where to go ;-P) For everyone else, get the Ultra Male. Blindbuy? Sure, if you like sweet scents.

Well, that's about it. I haven't written a review in a while. Here is time again one. :-) that could possibly be due to the summer. So off to the beach with you. :-) or to the lake. Or just get out into the air. We're done here. You've done it. :-)

For all of you who closed your eyes earlier. You may open them again :-D

Enjoy the rest of the summer. Don't stop even after that. Smile the whole year. Also with the heart!

Hanseatic greetings⚓

The way home
It was a stroll through a perfumery near me. I was once again looking for something new to spray on, because since about a year has also me the perfume fever packed.

I honestly didn't really know what it was gonna be. While browsing through the individual perfume shelves I was not at all sure which type of fragrance it should be this time.

When I had tested my way through some perfumes, it was clear to me that it could also be something fruity-sweet.

I was already tired of the well-known fragrance DNA a la Sauvage and it should not go in the direction of a Dior Homme. Suddenly I was standing in front of Ultra Male. The bottle looked familiar to me from its predecessor, which is poorly known as a bestseller. I sprayed him on a test strip and thought to myself, my goodness... how sweet that is, please. So I put it right back on the shelf. No, I thought I'd spray a little something on your wrist. No sooner said than done. Disillusioned, I made my way through the hustle and bustle of the department store towards the underground car park. I sat down in my car and drove off. The scent was always present on my arm. At every traffic light, every curve, every... always. And with astonishment I noticed: he smells better and better! What came out of the bottle in the beginning as much too sweet, now became much more pleasant. Arriving home I smelled this engaging vanilla and light woods, which were always surrounded by a light pear note. Something cinnamon was always buzzing along. I couldn't believe that the fragrance, which seemed so overwhelmingly sweet in the store, had now turned into an absolute favourite for me. To be exact, it was the fragrance I was looking for in the perfumery the whole time. In addition, there was this unbelievable durability and a silage, which is not at all room-filling, but nevertheless always present.

So the next day I stood in front of the shelf in the shop again, but this time with a decisive difference. I was now finally clear which perfume it should be.

The Ultra man is no Casanova!
At the end of 2018 I dared to approach the fragrance palette of JPG and of course started with the classic and founder of this series of beautiful flacons.
The last in the bunch and my collection. was the very one in dark tones and with the ultimate claim of masculinity in the title. In addition to Essence, which is one year younger, the dark sailor is a much-anticipated bottle on the shelves of all perfumeries. At the same time, he claims to address a young target group, to which I also count myself. He is preceded by the reputation of a party scent, sometimes even a Casanova water. At least the first one I would like to contradict, the dark sailor already seems seductive and enormously attractive to me, but he doesn't scream for attention but rather for intimacy. It surrounds the wearer with an extremely sweet aura, fresh in the first minutes, then heavier, which invites the wearer to approach it in order to be able to sense the depth structure of the fragrance.
The greater the distance at which the fragrance is perceived, the more one-dimensional it appears. As you get closer, however, other nuances reveal themselves - spices, woods and vanilla come to the fore - creating a homely atmosphere. From a distance I always sniff the sweetness of an overripe pear, behind whose façade the depth of the entire bouquet reveals itself. After a good hour, the light-fleshed sweetness of the pear becomes darker than the pod of a vanilla. The spicy components help to create more depth.
His territory is - in my opinion - less the dance floors of clubs or overcrowded events, because he can't set a counterpoint in a sweating, agitated crowd and doesn't stand out. I like to wear it alone in a feel-good atmosphere with a good book on the couch. However, the fragrance finds its purpose in one-to-one situations in which you want to cast a spell over your female counterpart. For other men, contrary to its martial double sentence "Ultra", the fragrance is more feminine and androgynous. For younger women, it conveys closeness, security and self-confidence. The wearer also needs the latter if he does not want to appear superficial with a very sweet, extremely seductive scent.
Its season is definitely autumn and winter. Its time of day is darkness, in which it would also be wearable on fresh spring and summer nights. However, more suitable variants are available here.
The outfit to be combined is, as with the entire "Le Male series", a well-fitting shirt or polo with an optional jacket, here I prefer dark blue as the basic colour. Within your own four walls, as a pure feel-good fragrance, it can also be combined well with a "favourite piece" (sweater, hoodie). The durability and Sillage are neat, but I don't think they are outstanding. After two hours it gets very close to my body, which is why I don't see it as a party scent. In fact, it unfolds almost better on clothing than on skin, because then even after a day a super pleasant essence of the base notes is still perceptible.
In addition to the more variable, since fresher original, an ideal addition to the range. For young and young-at-heart perfumers with enough self-confidence to create an ultra sweet fragrance, a rewarding investment. I will wear it to Christmas Eve tonight because the fragrance supports the feel-good factor in the family circle. Anyone who wants to wear the fragrance does not become an ultra-man in the sense of a muscular, tough Herakles, as the bottle suggests, but a modern, sensual, approachable man who must radiate self-confidence! Another successful composition by Kurkdjian

Pappenheimer's
Mr. and Mrs. Pappenheimer go shopping.
To a well-known drugstore chain.
Mrs. Pappenheimer is having her good day, that's why today.
Otherwise she wouldn't do this to herself.
She knows exactly what to expect.
How could it be otherwise,
barely through the door,
her husband storms towards the counter,
his gaze magically drawn
by a provocatively masculine-looking bottle,
tight-fitting bodysuit in dark blue stripes.
Of course, Mrs. Pappenheimer has known the scent for a long time.
She is often enough here,
to sniff through everything.
Now goes an attractive saleswoman,
black, tight-fitting trousers, neat white blouse
walks towards her husband.
Spellbound, his gaze hangs on her lips,
as she tries to make him like the scent....
As if that were necessary,
he was going to buy it anyway...
the bottle alone....
Mrs. Pappenheimer smiles to herself,
she knows her Pappenheimer,
they've been married for almost 30 years now.
She strolls around the shop,
tests here, sniffs there....
Then comes Mr. Pappenheimer
comes rushing up to her, beaming with pride rushes up to them:
"Smell this. I've discovered a great scent. What do you say?"
(The fragrance has long since been paid for and purchased!)
A cloud of fragrance assaults Mrs. Pappenheimer,
and she takes a step back with a gasp...
clears throat....
the saleswoman had sprayed him from top to bottom.
An overwhelming fruit sweetness invaded her.
After all, she had long since tested the fragrance herself,
knows that when the exaggerated sweetness subsides after hours,
the actual ingredients are not sooo bad.
But in this lushness it must inevitably
think of the so very sweet and cinnamony fruit compote
from Grandma Heidi,
which she couldn't get out of her mouth even as a child,
and which gradually piled up in her cheeks.

Mr. Pappenheimer's enthusiasm gradually collapsed,
because the reaction was so long in coming...
actually, he knew that SHE
such scents do not like,
mumbled something about exchange....
SHE had regained her composure by now...
"Leave it, you can wear it to work,
a scent for home, then maybe I can choose...",
she smiled at him, and gave him a big smack on the cheek...

Clubbing - King of the U25 year olds
Had to test him once, as many times Jeremy introduced him. I'm a little disappointed and unimpressed at the same time. Scent is definitely for the younger audience so U 25 as well as for me!

For my nose it smells extremely of pear and mint and a little vanilla. To formulate it otherwise very sweet. Sillage is in the first moments very impressive plus point for it. Durability is also not bad 8 - 10 hours. It is always said that this one is the "Clubbing-King", I can also sign. Women in my age like sweet or shower gel scents which is not bad. Unfortunately I find that the scent of the great top note drifts into nothing. No longer fresh but sweet and sticky.

Too bad for me, I wish I'd liked the scent more. Can also understand absolutely why he is rated so good by some and so bad by others. All in all, it's a pity that it is discontinued, but I still don't need it in the collection!

I love eating pears. What I don't love is this pear fragrance. The top notes are an absolute horror. Other notes seem absent to my nose.
