Le Mâle Le Parfum Jean Paul Gaultier 2020

So, now it's time for me to give my two cents on the already widely reviewed Le Male Flanker - perhaps now is the right time for it, because autumn is fast approaching and with it the season in which Le Male Le Parfum shines especially bright. So here we go with my review of one of my favorite fragrances of 2020!

The fragrance behaves in a relatively linear way in its progression and impresses with its accessibility and easy-to-wear factor on the one hand, and the special blend of gourmand sweetness and minty-powdery freshness for me on the other. The sweet and cuddly part of Le Parfum is composed mainly by the vanilla and cardamom, creating for me a totally delicious, creamy caramel candy note that I find simply melt-in-your-mouth. This aspect of the fragrance is contrasted by its powdery-minty-fresh superstructure, which makes the fragrance wearable and suitable for everyday use to just the right degree. It is exactly this mixture that makes Le Parfum so special for me. In addition, comes with me a really good durability and sillage.

The external values are okay for me, I was now never the biggest fan of Le Male flacon but in the black-matte and gold color scheme comes Le Parfum already quite noble. The sprayer is good average. Nothing to complain so but also no reason to pop the champagne corks.

Clearly, Le Parfum is not the polished niche fragrance that explores absolute perfume new territory - but it just does not have to be. Sometimes it is perfectly okay if a fragrance with good, own DNA, a high wearability and super performance. And that's exactly what makes Le Male Le Parfum really great :)
