citrus with pride
Gorgeous citruses and blood orange sweetness combined perfectly with neroli and orange blossom, complimenting each other in great harmony without stealing the spotlight. A base of musk and wood adds the perfect support to this bright ensemble. The bottle design with its little crop top is adorable, charming the open-minded and sparking reactions from those still not quite ready for the 21st century.

Pride unisex
it has nothing of the classic le male, or for the female version le classique, and perhaps for this reason its rating is so low... the truth is that it is a masterpiece, citrusy, persistent, wonderfully fresh, sparkling and floral, and finally, at a ridiculous price, I managed to get it. for all citric lovers a must have.

One of the best perfume releases of 2022 (so far)
I was initially conflicted about this scent. Another flanker, I thought. But I also thought: Actually, JPG makes pretty good flankers. Consider Ultra Male or Superman.
Still, I approached this fragrance with great skepticism. When I finally smelled it: Awesome. That was my first thought.

It smells fresh, fruity, and the blood orange is very prominent right from the opening. It smells similar to Mandarino di Amalfi by Tom Ford. However, with a blood orange in the fruit basket. Otherwise, like with MdA, it has pure sunscreen and vacation vibes. You can run straight to the beach with this. And yes, it does have a bit of a reminder of "On the beach" - however, "On the beach" has more of a "fresh laundry feeling" going on.

I would rate the sillage and longevity a 7/10. I get through the workday well with it. For such a bright and fresh designer fragrance, that's a really good performance.

In general, the scent is also in the unisex sweet spot. It can really be worn by anyone.

My conclusion:
Anyone looking for a summer fragrance for 2022 and/or perhaps annoyed by the price or longevity of Mandarino di Amalfi will find a really good alternative here. You get a strong, summery, and cheerful scent for quite little money. I'm curious to see when the hype for this will start.

You can find more in my video about it.

Another Flanker Again...
Hello everyone,

yes, we are TALKING again for what feels like the hundredth time about a flanker from the legendary Le Male line. I’ll be honest! When we TALK about a new or expanded fragrance direction from Le Male, unfortunately, there have been very, very few that stood out.

Exceptions for truly good ones were:

- Superman + Popeye
- Ultra Male
- Le Male Le Parfum
- and ...

Aside from Le Parfum, nothing really new has come out, and I have always found that very unfortunate. The new Pride... is something I have been waiting for a very, very long time and I am really excited about it, because on one hand it is NEW (not a classic Le Male) and finally the first one that can be worn 100% in the high summer + summer.

I LOVE Popeye + Superman and both definitely have that light and fresh TOUCH, but still carry the slight spiciness and sweetness of the Le Male DNA within them, which makes it a bit challenging after 2 to 4 hours (with the transition from top to base note). That’s why those (JUST FOR ME fragrances are good up to 23°C).

With the new Pride, it’s different; a mix of bitter citrus notes with neroli makes it generally bitter - citrusy - light and refreshing, and after 4 hours it basically turns into a "clean man scent" with light woods + musk.

A Le Male that is really great for the warmer days of the year, I’m glad I get to experience this ;). Seriously, respect JPG.

An absolute insider tip from me and in my opinion, this release is one of the best we have seen in 2022..

Best regards

A Winning Summer Fragrance
It is mid-May 2023, and for many weeks now, one cloud after another has been drifting across the sky, almost every day brings rain, and the temperatures remain clearly below 20 degrees. It is still time for the heavier scents, the long rainy season allows for good preparation for the warmer days. And so, we allowed ourselves the fun of blind testing summer fragrances in the family. Louis Vuitton Imagination, Le Mâle Pride Edition 2022, Roja Elysium Cologne, and Parfum. And behold, the clear winner in the fragrance competition during the rainy month of April was... Le Mâle.

This scent is truly great; it opens up with an incredibly zesty note of fresh blood orange that you can effectively pinpoint. At this point, you don't suspect much of the classic Le Mâle, but over time, that changes, and the citrusy freshness gives way to the Mâle fingerprint of a slightly sweet, yet still fresh and captivating musk note. I find the longevity and sillage for a fresh fragrance to be quite good; Le Mâle Pride Edition 2022 easily wins against the Roja and Louis Vuitton fragrances, which evaporate much faster and project less. And all this at an unbeatable price.

All in all, a fantastic fragrance, and for those who are bothered by the cardigan: it can be removed, leaving a classic, purist Le Mâle flanker.

A smooth blood orange with the bitterness of yuzu and some sweetness. Neroli and a creamy musk complete this summer scent. Not bad at all.

Smells quite close to TF Mandarino di Amalfi. Nice fresh unisex scent with a heavy focus on floral citrus notes

This is a neroli bomb. A juicy and citrus opening, and a white musk base. Really nice but pretty simple. A refreshing summer scent.

At the front of the supermarket: Citrus blood oranges & mandarins
At the back, unfortunately:
Fabric softeners, creams & hair sprays.
Great start, but the end…

Fruity-citrusy orange blossom, an surprisingly light and beautiful version of the scent. Fits my taste much better than the °°°

So great and really the motto, so predictable and fresh-citrusy-orangey, the summer scent with a lot of synthetic wood in the drydown.
