JPG Le Male tries his hand at noble (?)
I finally decided to write a comment, but to which fragrance I have been wondering for a while now. I chose the latest Gaultier fragrance, as this one is not bad in itself, although my previous statement might suggest that. At least the bottle in this black isn't from bad parents and I especially like it with the golden head.
But now enough of the speech and now to the fragrance:
It starts directly somewhat powdery through the iris and vanilla is always there from the beginning to the end and brings a very strong sweetness. Cardamom and lavender are rather extras or are simply swallowed by the typical Le Male - DNA, as it is very present, which can?t be seen as a criticism with a flanker...theoretically at least. For my taste, it confuses the scent pyramid a bit and leaves very desirable and popular notes like cardamom and lavender (yes, La Nuit de L'Homme is not without reason one of my absolute favourite scents) simply a little bit whitewashed. The fragrance continues and slowly the "oriental woods" (whatever that may mean) come through. Phew...I find the term "woods" here a bit difficult and almost wrongly chosen. "With something chemical pimped Le Paint DNA" would be the more fitting description for my nose, which by the way slowly starts to sting a little, despite the actually on soft made scent (but only as long as I am with my nose directly on my wrist, you have to stay fair). It fades away after about 6 hours, but then only very close, with hmmm...actually only vanilla and nothing else.
In conclusion, I find the fragrance neither really good nor really bad. It's okay, period. I can understand that it has and will have many fans because of its typical DNA, but there is something shower gel-like about it. Not a shower gel for athletes, but rather one that is released for 30€ per 300ml, with a fine oriental touch, but after a year bought by Axe and marketed in their new "Axe - Privé" line for 5€ with known DNA.
He has a right to exist, but the two of us remain just acquaintances
Well, now it's really over and I thank you very much for reading my first comment and I thank the whole community for helping to create this place so wonderfully and for making it what it is!
