I can't let go...
I've had the original Le Male at home for a few days now because I liked Caline's fragrance so much that I used it up in no time and thought I absolutely had to get the original. Unfortunately, I have to say: I am disappointed. I keep trying to convince myself that I like the original better - only to finally come back to the realization that I simply like the Caline fragrance better.
Compared to the original, this one is much fresher at first and reminds me a little of a freshly poured cola. The original, on the other hand, reminds me more of cough syrup or some other medicine - perhaps this is due to the caraway. In my opinion, the drydown is slightly better in the original: the sweetness here is lighter, almost creamy or powdery. In the Caline, the sweetness is somewhat heavier and a little overloaded. Although I never noticed this before - this perception probably only came about through direct comparison.
Then comes the final chord ... no difference. I keep trying to convince myself that the original smells better here ... but no. Depending on which fragrance I smell first after a short pause, this one comes out on top.
As for the longevity: I sprayed both fragrances on one arm. Both reached the heart and base notes at the same time. The original is perhaps slightly longer perceptible - but really only slightly.
Only now do I realize what a first-class fragrance Infinite Navy actually is. I keep trying to convince myself that the original is the better fragrance ... I think it's called post-purchase dissonance. ^^
