Ultra Male, Ultra Good

Mid 20s, male, just for your information!

Yes, here we have it - JPG Ultra Male.

What a powerhouse. There’s no room here for the barbershop guy, for barbed wire and whiskey, no smudged tank tops here. There’s no fear of not being manly enough, just to hide it behind cheesy "SPORT MAN SPORT SPORT MAN BARBED WIRE BLOOD" scents. Here you know you are a man and just want to do others' noses a favor. If you want to receive compliments and not just be labeled as "smells like a showered man." You stand out, and in a positive way, especially to women.

Ultra Male is well-known, and rightly so. I've had it for 3 or 4 years now, and unfortunately, it’s slowly running out, but it has done its job with a seal of absolute perfection. One of the most famous "cotton candy" scents for men, here sweetness and powderiness are played with, it’s spicy and slightly vanilla-floral, but at its heart, the masculine woodiness still plays an important role. No trace of "fresh," that’s not what it’s about here. You shouldn’t smell like you just showered; you should smell delicious. If you want to smell like every typical men's perfume, just buy Axe. Believe me, it always smells exactly like almost every men's fragrance, but no one says it out loud. Then you save yourself a green bill for a perfume that smells like gym class in 7B. Okay, it depends on how you define fresh - rather floral, minimally fruity? Okay, then it has a hint of freshness. Or are we talking about the biting soap smell from almost every men's fragrance? Then no, absolutely not fresh.

Here it’s simply different, here it’s pleasant and beautiful, a fragrance that makes you want to get closer. A scent not meant for the suit wearer, at least it doesn’t fit (of course you can still wear it), rather a scent for date nights, club visits, or just an all-day fragrance if you generally want to smell delicious.

Longevity is great, it accompanies you all day and your clothes smell of it until you wash them. Others notice you, and they will always notice you, but hour by hour it diminishes, after 5-6 hours it becomes more intimate.

Compliment scale: 9 out of 10. A ladykiller under 30. Men often find it too "feminine," mostly just because they secretly fear losing their masculinity if they can’t smell like a 0815 man. Believe me, take the step away from weird Axe scents, take a step over the line to sweet & gourmand, slightly more feminine - the women will thank you so much. I promise.

Why move away from AXE?
AXE Limited Edition Body Spray Gold Caramel Billionaire is sweet and gourmand :D I actually like it quite a bit for a €2.50 deodorant/body spray!

For me, Ultra Male is the epitome of a boring designer fragrance that's WAY too sweet to be taken seriously as a man. I'd rather stick with the fresh options, which according to your review all smell like Axe.

You say 4 times that almost every other men's perfume smells like just showered. With all due respect, that's (thankfully) not the case. I quite like Ultra Male too, but there are thousands of great scents out there. Feel free to explore. You'll see that there's so much more than Ultra Male and shower gel scents.
