Fool's Gold
Disclaimer - I'm the fool and Le Parfum is gold for me.

For serious fragrance enthusiasts this is probably nothing special - a mainstream release with nothing new. For my untrained and not very selective nose, this is something special and one of my favorites.

I also own Ultra Male and Le Male Essence and while I love both, this one has now carved a special place in my heart.

Starts off with a bang - a strong spicy opening. After some 30 minutes it gets closer to the skin, the spices fade out though they do not disappear. The traditional Le Male lavender-vanilla combo grows stronger and comes to the foreground accompanied by a pinch of iris.

The late dry-down is mostly the lavender and vanilla but with a touch of the spices and iris. Darker than the original Le Male but, just like Ultra and Essence, clearly inheriting its original DNA.

Longevity is very good, projection is moderate at most, sillage is lovely - I get whiffs of it throughout the day that put a smile on my face every time.

Versatility is also very good. After 30-60 minutes projection is low and despite the darker nature of the beast, I find it appropriate for most occasions at any time in any weather except hot days. Having said that, it will most definitely be at its best for nocturnal use. As far as age goes, I find it fun enough for younger guys and classy enough for more experienced gentlemen.

Compliment Magnet ! Reallly ....!!!
Yes , This is really a solid designer Release . Its sweet , spicy ( Cardamom mostly) & sexy lavender & IRIS with vanilla dry down . Its not a complex fragrance but The way they blends notes altogether is very awesome . The fact is Its noticeable & aggressive ( In a good way) , I meant I got several compliments from colleagues even from my wife . Its not overly sweet and also not overly spicy ( cardamom) just right amount and may be leather in dry down made it very attractive . And last of all Its long lasting and very good strong sillage .Quinton Bisch is one of my favorite perfumer and he done it once again .

Please Try before buy if you are in Budget otherwise its a must buy ...

Excellent longevity and sillage
This one is the best of the Le Male line from Jean Paul Gaultier. So masculine, very sexy and seductive fragrance.
Le Male Le Parfum is a great blind buy if you want something masculine, warm and powdery, If you Love Ultra Male then I think you will Love Le Male Le Parfum.
Perfect for cold weather and especially in the night.

My oh my oh my....
I’ve been slowly dying as I patiently waited for this one to arrive in the mail... and it finally arrived...

I must confess, I AM indeed a fan of the Le Male line; just about every one of the 7 gazillion flankers make me smile, so after reading all the reviews on this one, I absolutely PRAYED that they’d release it in the US.... and FINALLY, Macy’s has it available first... I ordered it online, and here we are.

I must say... I’m in a state of pure bliss after I took a HOT shower and sprayed it on. It’s about 35 degrees Fahrenheit outside, and the scent this gives is FANTASTIC. It feels almost like someone made a rich, chocolate dessert out of the original Le Male scent... seriously. You can DEFINITELY tell it’s a member of the Le Male line, the profile of the original is loud and clear, but it’s got a sweeter, hot chocolate feel to it. I don’t know how to describe it... the DNA of the original is somehow still there, but without the minty, barbershop vibe. Somehow the flavor is there; but it comes with completely DIFFERENT notes.How they pulled it off? I have no clue, but I’m glad they did. I’m going to buy a 200ml bottle to stockpile when I get a chance.

The projection radius is a good 4ft, and the sillage trail lingers nicely... they WILL know you were there... wondering just where that magical mist is coming from, and the longevity is on par with the Ultra Male... 8+ hours easily.

All in all, I can FINALLY say I have it... and MAN oh MAN am I a happy camper.

Fabulous, Mass appealing and Loud Perfume
This perfume the best perfume I currently have. In its opening the strong sweet vanilla scent attacks you and dries down to a scent just like sweet romantic dinner. Perfect for dinner nights, and romance, however its silage is weak for summer. I recommend this as a winter and night fragrance or any time where its very cool. 10/10 overall.

Quality is closer to the original Le Mâle. It lacks the mint and add more sweetness. This one is more for cold days. Performance is good.

Green spicy vanilla. The lively vibe have decreased compared to the original. I feel it's more like Tom Ford style than JPG.

Opens with a big dose of cardamom and florals, develops into a sweet/powdery vanilla. Ideal for date night - elegant, sexy, soft projection.

Really a joy to wear. I kept getting whiffs of it all throughout the day. Maybe a bit too loud for the office? No complaints otherwise.

For designer scent it is brilliant. The lavender and the vanilla give the the fragrance a medicinal touch. Not for funs of sweet vanilla.
