I love this one!
I’ve never owned a pre-reformulation bottle of Le Male, and I love the scent, so when I saw this one available, I rushed to grab a bottle of it.

My oh my am I happy I did… this one IS the Le Male scent, but 15x stronger in projection, and 10x the longevity. My oh my. Such a deep and dark resonance of a sillage trail it leaves behind… again, I’ve never owned the pre-reformulated version, but this one adds a darkness and depth to the current formula, resonating and projecting like a beast…

The only thing I would improve is the size of the bottle… only 30ml… if I could get 100ml I would be in heaven.

It's Raining Men - Flashback anoMâle
One spray, let the first moments sink in, and... Boom! After arriving at the student dorm near the psychiatric hospital in Tooting, ground floor, right next to the landlady, who was also named Diana and suffered from endometriosis, alone in the shared, drearily dirty beige bathroom, hot showered in the plastic tub with a frivolously scented Axe, then the spray from the erotic bottle, blue and well-shaped, available for just under a year. Fiery woods and tonka, humming lavender, vanilla and whatever else, in any case exactly the scent that mentally prepared for what might come. The ones left behind far away still believing in the brunette shy daughter-in-law next door, instead insatiably fragrant, slipping into tight black clothes, hair tousled, away with the good student, and quietly passing by Diana, past endless rows of houses and cars on the wrong side, myself on the way to the dark, but so cruelly attractive wrong side, into the evening Black Line, to the center, Tottenham Court Road. The Astoria, lined with people, waiting for entry.

Sudden retreat, several rounds through Soho, always past the same small shabby park, always through the even shabbier alley, again and again in front of the Astoria, again and again this tingling feeling, and always with this one scent. Through an inexplicable impulse suddenly inside, 3 pounds entry, and after the cashier behind the counter the incomprehensible Brits, who shout louder and louder until the solution is clear, how to get rid of the jacket. Initials. Behind this hurdle, in the guts of this rundown theater the pounding crowds, the stage where Madonna and Take That have sung for the same audience, upstairs and downstairs dancing, ecstasy and unquenched desire. The floor is sticky, the temperature rises, the distances shrink, the skin steams, the T-shirt hanging at the belt, and Le Mâle omnipresent in the hall, becoming sweeter and more wicked as the night goes on. Countless such nights, irretrievably lost, yet deeply burned into memory, and through this one Dua-Dupe revived again, which the new tamed Le Mâle has never managed to do.

Postscript after repeated use: When I spray this thing, I immediately hum the earworm of the Weather Girls. Very strong olfactory memory.

Incredible. Thank you.

The blast from the past
What a time it was! Just turned 18. Got my driver's license. Saved a bit as an apprentice and bought a Fiat Uno. And the world was my oyster. Well, almost. As a teenager, you don't have much cash. It's been over 23 years since I bought Le Male with my hard-earned money. That was pretty much my only perfume back then, if I remember correctly.

I don't want to beat around the bush. I can't describe scents and notes and nuances, and I'm certainly no poet. As DUA says, if you know you know. Anyone who knows the Le Male from back then will find it again in the DUA. Error 404 quickly throws me back to that time. I bought another Le Male around 2010, which I still have today. And even that one smells quite different. Possibly also because it has partially gone off. I don't know how Le Male smells today.

Actually, I'm not a fan of scents from long-gone times. You can smell (in my case) the 90s, and that often feels outdated in modern times. But this Le Male clone can still be worn easily today.

Vintage Le Male dupe! And suddenly I'm 18 again, waiting in line outside the club. Thanks Dua for the flashback!

The spicy green "Le Male" club from before, I find it very good, especially H/S
They are above average for me, a clear winner ;-))

So many memories come flooding back. Absolutely authentic with excellent sillage. The best choice for all Le Male fans.

Perfectly executed, just like back at the turn of the millennium. Dua has achieved what the original hasn't been able to for a long time. H/S super.

When I first started going to clubs, I always borrowed Le Male from my brother (hope he’s not reading this)....

I personally think Bondage Homme by Milton Lloyd is better. I have both and Bondage smells more like Vintage Le Male. Error 404 is more like...

Once you get past the chaos of the top notes, a fantastic, powerful scent inspired by vintage Le Mâle follows. Lasts great!

Between "Awesome" & "No". Sharp coolness, herbal mustiness, sultry amber. Awesome, but the synthetic note is annoying in the end.
