Summer vibes

The best lavender fragrance at a reasonable price. Highly recommended if you are a teenager looking for a fragrance for an unforgettable summer.

Le male is a classic that enjoyed its hype ages ago. You can't go far wrong with it, it's always contemporary. For many people (including me), it's an entry-level fragrance that goes down very well in everyday life. I would recommend this fragrance the most in summer because of the freshness and pleasant memories it brings.

Longevity / sillage still leave a lot to be desired, but if you let it mature properly, the fragrance is great. Otherwise, spray a little more or access an older batch before reformulating.

In general, you can wear the fragrance at any time, even as a signature fragrance it fits quite well but especially in summer. If you are a JPG fan, go for it!

Dad's perfume from the past

I remember when I was a little kid. There were 2 fragrances in my parents' bathroom, one was CK One and the other was Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male.
Out of pure nostalgia, I bought the fragrance some time ago.

When I sprayed it, memories came flooding back. It was Dad's scent!
The scent he wore every day to work, at home or wherever.
For me, the mint clearly stands out in the opening. Followed by bergamot, lavender, vanilla and lots of cinnamon. That fresh, sweet, spicy note.
Pure memory!

H/S unfortunately leaves a lot to be desired. Really perceptible, unfortunately only for the first 2-3 hours. After that it stays close to the skin.
P/L is ok. You can't really complain for the price. It's simply a real classic!

A memory bomb!

I ended up in hospital with a spinal cord injury in July 1997. My roommate, an Italian, was given this fragrance as a gift. After the first few sprays, the hospital room filled up and I felt far away. Party, have a drink, dance, have fun! That's exactly what the fragrance projected around me. It was awesome.
Chewing gum and sweetness right on the fr.... Then a really long-lasting cinnamon note, which is always accompanied by the sweetness.
The durability is enormous. The price-performance ratio is right here! A real party fragrance that you can basically wear all the time! In this case - still a nice memory of this time, despite the circumstances! By my side to this day!

"On the Wrestling Mats" - M.M.

This is the most god awful thing I have ever put to my nose. Reminds me of my Jiu-Jitsu days when I would get a little too close to somebody's crotch. This literally smells horrendous. I had to throw my clothes immediately into the wash. Ruined a good outfit. I got a small sample of this and applied it in my car, if the scent doesn’t come out I'm gonna have to take it to the cleaners. This fragrance is a genuine biohazard. Like my title says, Maison Margiela should copy this and rebrand it as a wrestlers fragrance.

Update:
I am nauseous, even after rubbing myself with baby wipes the smell won't leave. I might throw away my entire cologne collection and never smell anything ever again. This cologne has ruined all colognes for me. WHY MAN WHY!

Does not work at all

If there is one fragrance for men that I detest, it is this one.

Why it is still a bestseller today is beyond me.

As soon as I smell this fragrance, I get a pounding headache, a bad mood and a maximum dislike for the wearer.

In my opinion, there is no other men's fragrance that is so clumsy, intrusive and unobtrusive.
I also find one or two other men's fragrances unpleasant, but "Le Male" is the undisputed number one on my list of anti-perfumes for men.
