The way home
It was a stroll through a perfumery near me. I was once again looking for something new to spray on, because since about a year has also me the perfume fever packed.

I honestly didn't really know what it was gonna be. While browsing through the individual perfume shelves I was not at all sure which type of fragrance it should be this time.

When I had tested my way through some perfumes, it was clear to me that it could also be something fruity-sweet.

I was already tired of the well-known fragrance DNA a la Sauvage and it should not go in the direction of a Dior Homme. Suddenly I was standing in front of Ultra Male. The bottle looked familiar to me from its predecessor, which is poorly known as a bestseller. I sprayed him on a test strip and thought to myself, my goodness... how sweet that is, please. So I put it right back on the shelf. No, I thought I'd spray a little something on your wrist. No sooner said than done. Disillusioned, I made my way through the hustle and bustle of the department store towards the underground car park. I sat down in my car and drove off. The scent was always present on my arm. At every traffic light, every curve, every... always. And with astonishment I noticed: he smells better and better! What came out of the bottle in the beginning as much too sweet, now became much more pleasant. Arriving home I smelled this engaging vanilla and light woods, which were always surrounded by a light pear note. Something cinnamon was always buzzing along. I couldn't believe that the fragrance, which seemed so overwhelmingly sweet in the store, had now turned into an absolute favourite for me. To be exact, it was the fragrance I was looking for in the perfumery the whole time. In addition, there was this unbelievable durability and a silage, which is not at all room-filling, but nevertheless always present.

So the next day I stood in front of the shelf in the shop again, but this time with a decisive difference. I was now finally clear which perfume it should be.

The Ultra man is no Casanova!
At the end of 2018 I dared to approach the fragrance palette of JPG and of course started with the classic and founder of this series of beautiful flacons.
The last in the bunch and my collection. was the very one in dark tones and with the ultimate claim of masculinity in the title. In addition to Essence, which is one year younger, the dark sailor is a much-anticipated bottle on the shelves of all perfumeries. At the same time, he claims to address a young target group, to which I also count myself. He is preceded by the reputation of a party scent, sometimes even a Casanova water. At least the first one I would like to contradict, the dark sailor already seems seductive and enormously attractive to me, but he doesn't scream for attention but rather for intimacy. It surrounds the wearer with an extremely sweet aura, fresh in the first minutes, then heavier, which invites the wearer to approach it in order to be able to sense the depth structure of the fragrance.
The greater the distance at which the fragrance is perceived, the more one-dimensional it appears. As you get closer, however, other nuances reveal themselves - spices, woods and vanilla come to the fore - creating a homely atmosphere. From a distance I always sniff the sweetness of an overripe pear, behind whose façade the depth of the entire bouquet reveals itself. After a good hour, the light-fleshed sweetness of the pear becomes darker than the pod of a vanilla. The spicy components help to create more depth.
His territory is - in my opinion - less the dance floors of clubs or overcrowded events, because he can't set a counterpoint in a sweating, agitated crowd and doesn't stand out. I like to wear it alone in a feel-good atmosphere with a good book on the couch. However, the fragrance finds its purpose in one-to-one situations in which you want to cast a spell over your female counterpart. For other men, contrary to its martial double sentence "Ultra", the fragrance is more feminine and androgynous. For younger women, it conveys closeness, security and self-confidence. The wearer also needs the latter if he does not want to appear superficial with a very sweet, extremely seductive scent.
Its season is definitely autumn and winter. Its time of day is darkness, in which it would also be wearable on fresh spring and summer nights. However, more suitable variants are available here.
The outfit to be combined is, as with the entire "Le Male series", a well-fitting shirt or polo with an optional jacket, here I prefer dark blue as the basic colour. Within your own four walls, as a pure feel-good fragrance, it can also be combined well with a "favourite piece" (sweater, hoodie). The durability and Sillage are neat, but I don't think they are outstanding. After two hours it gets very close to my body, which is why I don't see it as a party scent. In fact, it unfolds almost better on clothing than on skin, because then even after a day a super pleasant essence of the base notes is still perceptible.
In addition to the more variable, since fresher original, an ideal addition to the range. For young and young-at-heart perfumers with enough self-confidence to create an ultra sweet fragrance, a rewarding investment. I will wear it to Christmas Eve tonight because the fragrance supports the feel-good factor in the family circle. Anyone who wants to wear the fragrance does not become an ultra-man in the sense of a muscular, tough Herakles, as the bottle suggests, but a modern, sensual, approachable man who must radiate self-confidence!

Pappenheimer's
Mr. and Mrs. Pappenheimer go shopping.
To a well-known drugstore chain.
Mrs. Pappenheimer is having her good day, that's why today.
Otherwise she wouldn't do this to herself.
She knows exactly what to expect.
How could it be otherwise,
barely through the door,
her husband storms towards the counter,
his gaze magically drawn
by a provocatively masculine-looking bottle,
tight-fitting bodysuit in dark blue stripes.
Of course, Mrs. Pappenheimer has known the scent for a long time.
She is often enough here,
to sniff through everything.
Now goes an attractive saleswoman,
black, tight-fitting trousers, neat white blouse
walks towards her husband.
Spellbound, his gaze hangs on her lips,
as she tries to make him like the scent....
As if that were necessary,
he was going to buy it anyway...
the bottle alone....
Mrs. Pappenheimer smiles to herself,
she knows her Pappenheimer,
they've been married for almost 30 years now.
She strolls around the shop,
tests here, sniffs there....
Then comes Mr. Pappenheimer
comes rushing up to her, beaming with pride rushes up to them:
"Smell this. I've discovered a great scent. What do you say?"
(The fragrance has long since been paid for and purchased!)
A cloud of fragrance assaults Mrs. Pappenheimer,
and she takes a step back with a gasp...
clears throat....
the saleswoman had sprayed him from top to bottom.
An overwhelming fruit sweetness invaded her.
After all, she had long since tested the fragrance herself,
knows that when the exaggerated sweetness subsides after hours,
the actual ingredients are not sooo bad.
But in this lushness it must inevitably
think of the so very sweet and cinnamony fruit compote
from Grandma Heidi,
which she couldn't get out of her mouth even as a child,
and which gradually piled up in her cheeks.

Mr. Pappenheimer's enthusiasm gradually collapsed,
because the reaction was so long in coming...
actually, he knew that SHE
such scents do not like,
mumbled something about exchange....
SHE had regained her composure by now...
"Leave it, you can wear it to work,
a scent for home, then maybe I can choose...",
she smiled at him, and gave him a big smack on the cheek...

Clubbing - King of the U25 year olds
Had to test him once, as many times Jeremy introduced him. I'm a little disappointed and unimpressed at the same time. Scent is definitely for the younger audience so U 25 as well as for me!

For my nose it smells extremely of pear and mint and a little vanilla. To formulate it otherwise very sweet. Sillage is in the first moments very impressive plus point for it. Durability is also not bad 8 - 10 hours. It is always said that this one is the "Clubbing-King", I can also sign. Women in my age like sweet or shower gel scents which is not bad. Unfortunately I find that the scent of the great top note drifts into nothing. No longer fresh but sweet and sticky.

Too bad for me, I wish I'd liked the scent more. Can also understand absolutely why he is rated so good by some and so bad by others. All in all, it's a pity that it is discontinued, but I still don't need it in the collection!

My enfant terrible as a teenager
As a fan of Le Mâle Eau de Toilette, I couldn't resist buying Ultra Mâle in 2015. From the name, it already sounded like a step up. With bergamot and lavender as ingredients, nothing could go wrong.
The first time I sprayed it, everything turned out differently than I thought. My nose was surrounded by a super sweet, gourmand pear, which also smelled super strong. The back of my hand had to keep its distance from my nose for a while.

Was that a bad purchase? Where is the original DNA?

As it progresses, Ultra Mâle becomes creamier, for me more pleasing, more interesting, simply different from everything I've had in my collection so far (never a fan of very sweet or gourmand. The original DNA is slightly recognizable, but already clearly in the background.

Why am I writing a fragrance description that I'm sure many other perfumistas have done better before me?
Because I lived through my wild mid-20s with Ultra Mâle. All-nighters, coming home when the birds are chirping, sweaty, reeking of smoke and alcohol, sometimes too exhausted to take a shower. So that, in addition to the vapors described above, you also smelled Ultra Mâle on your pillow the day after.
There was hardly any other fragrance that went down so well with women, compliments were practically pre-programmed and it was very easy to wrap them around your finger. The longevity and sillage were brutal, you were noticed throughout the party nights. The whole thing was between 2015-2017 and I now have a small amount left in the bottle, which will be used up this winter. My taste in perfume has changed, I hardly ever wear Ultra Mâle anymore. After the last spray, I will remember the wild times with a smile.

Arguably the best flanker of Le Mâle. Pear and vanilla done right. Sexy and long lasting. 3/5

I love eating pears. What I don't love is this pear fragrance. The top notes are an absolute horror. Other notes seem absent to my nose.
