The Le Male of today?
He comes to the club or the bar. He looks fashionable, self-confident, has a smile on his face and is already sure of his success. He knows what he wants. He is convinced of himself and intends to go home tonight with a female companion. Who does not know such guys? Whether in a business setting or in the bar in the evening. They show up everywhere. And with some women they are often very successful because of their self-confidence. Typical for this type of man are trendy clothes and a very sweet, distinctive and usually highly dosed scent. In my youth this was mostly Joop Homme and later Le Male. Today, I think, such a type of man would wear Baccarat Rouge 540.
With this scent you will attract attention. It is intense and immediately room filling when you enter the room. As self-confident as its wearer. Despite the jasmine, I don't find the fragrance very flowery. It is sweet, strong and bursts with self-confidence even with various masculine attributes. I find it difficult to break this fragrance down into its components. At Le Male it still works to some extent with lavender and vanilla. Here, in addition to the sweet almond and the sweet-warm, intense scent of ambergris, we have a fine woodiness, which also seems slightly smoky to me. Even if this might sound a bit "spun" for now, I can - at least in the beginning - even detect distant similarities with Creed Aventus. That's why I'm betting on some birch tar, which gives this fragrance a certain masculinity with all its sweetness.
The smell is great - no question. For me really one of the most beautiful of Maison Francis Kurkdjian. And here you can clearly recognize the signature of the LeMale creator. If it was his intention to create with Baccarat Rouge 540 a worthy successor of his classic from the nineties, which also fits perfectly into today's time, then he has absolutely succeeded.
Of course, this fragrance can also be worn by ladies, just like Le Male or Joop Homme. I don't think it's suitable for myself, but I could imagine, for example, that my mother would wear it immediately. I like it, despite all its synthetics. And well dosed I would find this fragrance, even if it is very sweet, very pleasant on a gentleman. However, I would not recommend the majority of gentlemen who wear this scent as the first choice for a marriage candidate, should a friend or relative of mine be currently looking for one :)
Many thanks to Violett for the sample. All in all I am positively surprised. I would not have expected Mr. Kurkdjian to be like this, as I found most of the fragrances in the MFK series rather unspectacular, but compare them with his earlier works.
