Yes but

Delicious scent, blending almond, neroli and a very sticky musk that will englobe you like a thick bubble.

Smells clean, potent and unique.

However, we need to talk about the bottle. I can't believe a company that prides itself in their quality and 45% concentration, packages their products in a subpar bottle. The cap is the cheapest shit ever made. It leaks, it bends and breaks easily. And I'm not the only one to have this problem.

Bad Overpriced Barbershop Almond...

I definitely get that barbershop vibe that other folks have mentioned from the almond and sandalwood notes that dominate this simplistic fragrance ... That said, the scent is super-linear and somewhat annoying after a short period of time. That, and of course the price is ridiculous for this kind of fragrance. Quite frankly, if you are looking for a barbershop scent of superior quality and complexity for 20% of the price, just look for Rive Gauche pour Homme from YSL. This one is not a bad scent, but nothing out of the ordinary and below average, earning a rating of 2 to 2.5 stars out of 5.

High quality but familiar fragrance

This might remind you of other fragrances. Clearly people are reminded of Le Male. This is not unique, but it definitely is high quality.

Profumum Roma is all about simple fragrances of high quality and this is a great example of this.

This is just so creamy, balanced and long lasting. That fresh and perky opening which transitions into the creamy almond and dries down to a wonderful almond and ambergris scent that just lasts and lasts. I easily get 12+ hours on skin.

When I wore this in the beginning of summer, I folded up my sunglasses and hung them on the collar of my t-shirt. Weeks later I put those same sunglasses on and was like "What is that amazing smell? Where is it coming from? Is it me?". It was Antico Caruso that was still clinging to my Ray-Bans.

Price is a bit spicy, but if you care about quality, you can't go wrong with this one.

Ancient carousel Or Enrico Caruso ?

At first i was really wondering what perfume do I remember smelling this gem? After reading some reviews I realized that its true, this is “le Male” from JPG but a little different, much better actually. Le male is more synthetic in my opinion.

It starts with nice fresh poudry but then later it changes to almond and flowers mix but much stronger longevity and silage than Le Male and Ofcours smels more natural than Le male.

I don’t understand the name? Why Anico caruso? I guess its translated as “
“ancient carousel” or its dedicated to the “Enrico Caruso” was an Italian operatic (opera singer).
Guess we will never know.

Anyway a good scent for a gentleman
I love it.

Le Male for Adults!

I still haven't given up the search for a lasting Reflection Man on me, and as luck would have it, I've recently found myself at Profumum Roma quite often! Thanks to a nice deal with Skubi, I got my hands on the beautiful Stilo (too bad only a few brands offer something like this) from Antico Caruso. What sounds like an open singer is a damn delicious "Le Male-Reflection Man-Pegasus-Sculpture scent" for the over-30 crowd!
Antico starts with a fresh herbal note with a slightly sweet touch, it could be something like the lavender-tonka mix from Le Male, it's fresh-sweet overall! But after just 3-4 minutes, a bitter green note joins in; if I had to guess blindly, I would have immediately thought of oakmoss, like a diluted Thundra-Victrix essence, but I can't assign that note to the fragrance pyramid! This gives the scent a pretty decent "masculine" touch and is far from the sweetness of Le Male! I quite like the ethereal-fresh touch, it has something of a hint of Club Colonia by AdP! This is how I would have wished Le Male Ultra to be... but they opted for a sugar bomb in the hot summer... "cool" marketing;-)!
The longer the scent is on the skin, the fresher and more bitter it becomes, without completely shedding the sweetness! There isn't much more development, and it doesn't need to... everything fits wonderfully as it is. I can wear this "Le Male" variant without hesitation, and there's also a significant risk of confusion.
The longevity is PR at its best, 8 hours go by quite comfortably, just like the original Le Male. The sillage is not disco-like, but still quite generous, yet never intrusive due to the pleasant freshness!
A large bottle would be too much of a good thing for me here, but having a Stilo every now and then fits wonderfully!
