Finally ....Olphactory Art as it should be ..this is something else

Alpha 11 from Adar Perfumes isn’t just a fragrance—it’s like stepping into a secret, moonlit world where every spritz tells a story. After hearing whispers about Adar’s ultra-niche approach, I can tell ...this scent lives up to the hype of being something extraordinary.
The opening is a wild ride. You get this vibrant burst of saffron, spicy and warm, mixed with an unexpected hit of banana that’s sweet, elegant ant by far not syrupy. The mint weaves in, adding a crisp, almost mischievous edge, like a cool breeze in a tropical garden. It’s bold and playful, grabbing your attention without being overwhelming. There’s also this “unnameable” note Adar hints at—hard to pin down, but it feels like a fleeting spark of intrigue that keeps you sniffing yourself . This is dangerous and may be dominant for others , its like a real entity . Very erotic , very present , extremely elegant ... ultra edgy and faceted .

As it evolves, the heart blooms with florals—ylang-ylang, tuberose, and jasmine come together in a creamy, slightly heady embrace. It’s sensual, almost dramatic, but never feels too heavy thanks to the earlier freshness. The florals give it a refined, almost vintage vibe, like you’re at some exclusive midnight banquet. The transition is smooth, and you can tell this is crafted with care.
The drydown is not ordinary . The base notes of tonka bean, I felt a sort of tobbaco tinctire , and civet create a smoky, animalic warmth that’s both grounding and magnetic... very magnetic . The tobacco isn’t too harsh—it’s more like a faint whiff of a luxurious cigar lounge, while the civet adds a subtle, primal depth. It lingers for a solid 12 hours on my skin. It does not have a moderate sillage ...so be careful with dosing ... On the organic fabric its a tatoo ...

What I love about Alpha 11 is how it feels like a journey. It’s not a one-note scent; it shifts and surprises, making you feel daring one moment and sophisticated the next. It’s versatile enough for a night out or a special occasion but has enough character to stand out in a casual setting. The setting , is a work of art —tactile and weighty, it’s like holding a piece of the earth and a bit of a galaxy .
That said, it’s not for everyone. The bold opening might catch some off guard, especially if you’re not into fruity , spicy notes and the erotic rich and elegant animalic . And because it’s so unique, it might not be your everyday grab-and-go fragrance. If you prefer safe, crowd-pleasing scents, this might feel too adventurous. Also, the price tag reflects its niche artistry, so it’s an investment.
All in all, Alpha 11 is a captivating experience for anyone who loves fragrances that tell a story. It’s bold, enigmatic, and unforgettable—perfect for those who want to wear something as daring as they are. If you’re curious about ultra niche perfumes and you are an art connoisseur , this is a must-try.

A classic one
Its a classic one . Collectors enthusiasts only . A classic vanilla for decades a nice newcomer at that time . One of the first unisex from contemporary designer perfumery . Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male is one of those fragrances that’s been around forever but still manages to turn heads. I picked up a bottle a while back, curious about its iconic status, and it’s easy to see why this scent has stayed a classic since the '90s.
Right out of the gate, Le Male hits you with a bold blast of mint and lavender. The mint gives it a fresh, almost cooling vibe, while the lavender adds a soft, barbershop-like warmth that feels nostalgic yet timeless. As it settles, the vanilla creeps in, smooth and creamy, with just a hint of spice from cardamom. It’s sweet but not cloying, striking a nice balance that keeps it masculine without being overly heavy. There’s also a touch of citrusy bergamot that keeps things lively in the opening.
The heart of the fragrance leans into that creamy vanilla, with a bit of cinnamon and orange blossom adding depth. It’s comforting, like a warm dessert, but there’s enough edge to keep it from feeling too soft. By the time it dries down, you’re left with a woody, slightly musky base of sandalwood and tonka bean that lingers for hours. The sillage is solid—you’ll get noticed without overpowering the room, and it lasts a good 6-8 hours on my skin, longer on clothes.
What I like most is how versatile it is. It works for a night out, a date, or even a casual day at the office. It’s got that confident, slightly playful charm that matches the iconic sailor-bottle design—cheeky but polished. That said, it’s not for everyone. If you’re not into sweeter fragrances or prefer something more understated, it might feel a bit loud. Also, because it’s so well-known, it doesn’t have that unique, niche vibe some fragrance fans chase.
Overall, Le Male is a crowd-pleaser that delivers on its reputation. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it’s a reliable, charismatic scent that’s hard to dislike. If you’re looking for something bold yet approachable, it’s worth a try—just don’t expect to fly under the radar.
