    Completely disagree with almost everything youve said, and I know a few who say this scent isnt for them, but to call it absolute trash? Come on, now youre just disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing. Dated? It's made very modern and inoffensive. Synthetic? Unreal? This has one of the most realistic lavender+cardamom+vanilla combination. Doesn't perform? (this us your personal skin chemistry sure). I get 10+ hours with a moderate to strong projection. Yes this is somewhat of a linear fragrance but so what? To me it's simple yet done beautifuly right. I understand you're showing your authentic self, which fair enough it's your opinion. But it seemed like you were unfair

      I want to expand on what you said and highlight that you feel this bottle has the truest, minty-lavender smell.
      It reminded me so much of some fresh toothpaste that would K.O bad-breath. The fragrance hit the minty-lavender-mark perfectly for me too in terms of realism and it made me feel like I was in flowery fields; with sweet hints of PacoRabanne and some honey in the continuum.
      I have tried many others in Macy's - SpiceBomb, Jimmy Choo - but none compared to the authenticity of JeanPaul.

    Thanks for the video and honest opinion. Although I was just sporting this the other day and complemented myself on how good I smell. And honestly, the longevity surprised me too. I put it on at 4 p.m. and could smell it the next morning. For me, it's just a mix of the original Le Male and Ultra Male. Nothing more, nothing less. I love the latter but never quite got into the former. Le Parfum, however, I really like. Cheers.

  • @nathanbradleyf777

    I remember when Le Male first came out. It was a very different fragrance than what is sold today. It was strong on another level. You couldn't wash that stuff off. It was amazing. I wear the Superman one every summer and I get more compliments with that fragrance than almost anything in my collection. This synthetic smell you are describing in Le Parfum sounds like a lot of fragrances out right now. I think a lot of new fragrances smell very synthetic. That must be in style right now.

    I truly don't have any hope for this line. After being extremely let down by ultra male, I won't take a chance on another from the house. Ultra male just screamed 16 years old in an uncomfortable way and the notes are a disorganized mess. Kinda similar to a fuzzy cream soda with hints of bubble gum.

    It's funny because I think (like all fragrances), certain fragrances react very different to people's body chemistry.
    This doesn't smell overly sweet on me at all. I get mostly the basenotes that linger on me. Very woodsy on me actually. I also get almost tired of recieving so many compliments. I've never had that many before from one fragrance ever.
    In other words, what smells great on someone else may not on you and vice versa.

    Hi George
    I wish you would just tell us what you think about Le Male Parfum. I really love it. I do not think that it is dated, nor chaotic. I think it is harsh initially, but then settles down to something richer. Projection is good, and I have received a number of compliments, despite mask wearing and being outdoors. The whole point of fragrance reviews is to offer an opinion and provoke a conversation. I dislike One Million Prive intensely.. Life would be dull if we all liked the same thing. You are absolutely right - seek out people who enjoy a fragrance. Keep up the great work.

    HAH, yes, plasticky icing sugar. Cardamom has that effect on me. It either smells weirdly plasticky or weirdly “sick” to me, it just does not work on my skin when not blended well with other strong spices like cinnamon or clove.
    I had a similar experience with other cardamom bombs of the 2010s like YSL Nuit and Mr Burberry. Not saying they smell like this, but they gave me the same feeling. It’s really hard to put into words.

    Hello. So I enjoy your fragrance reviews. I especially liked the one on how surprised you were about how good of a clone Club de Nuit Sillage is. So my question to you is about bergamot and why is it used in so much colognes. I really can't stand the smell of it and it's just disappointing that it's used so much. Is it a cheap filler?

    I was very let down as well, it’s a powdery Lavender bomb. Unfortunately the Lavender is so strong it’s almost sickening and completely overpowers all the other notes other than a little cardamom. The vanilla is extremely faint the Iris is even fainter.. man I like all the notes this is just not blended well at all.

  • @cdnim2358
    @cdnim2358 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Totally agree. I wore a sample for the gym and got complimented that my deodorant smelled nice. Couldn't have put it better really. Smells like cheap, obnoxious anti perspirant.

    Considering what a disgusting candy floss mess I found Ultra Male to be, I’ll be giving Le Male Le Parfum a wide berth. If I want a tonka bean bomb, I’ll stick to Ferragamo Uomo.

    Stop apologizing. You are the best on youtube in terms of your capacity to explain exactly why you don't like something and how you might have fixed the elements you have issues with. Plus, you're still helping sales of any product you discuss, so they get a win either way.

      Yeah this one seems like a toned down ultra male with a bit more going on but I do love ultra male too, sweet fragrances I don't like are eros and 1 million, my nose isn't in love with 1 million and I get this nasty cigarette smell from eros when it dries down, I really wanted to like both of those I even blind bought them but they ended up being gifts for others.

    Good to hear I'm not the only one. I like sweet sometimes over the top scents quite a lot so thought it made sense to sample this but I got the sample and it genuinely smelt so soapy and plasticy I actually thought the plastic tester tube I had was interrupting the fragrance. It really threw me off. Safe to say I'm not a fan either - yet somehow I like ultra male a lot

    • @edwardbrock3807

    Your personality shifts, in an almost sinister way when you eviscerate a fragrance (homme parfum , pineapple vintage )
    Like a shadow .
    Like the love of your life cheated on you with the ‘said fragrance .
    No criticism. It’s compelling.
    But oddly . To be honest if I may .
    I don’t trust you as much in this mode . It’s brings out a lisping Bond villain quality that feels to angry to be trusted .
    I spat out my cocoa when you describe it as ‘Chavy’ I mean , little rich .
    Dare I say , malicious . Almost offensively middle class. But Alan partridge
    I believe a psychologist could study you through this.
    Anyway great video. As always , fascinating ,
    No offence intended .

    I just discovered your channel and I also think Le Male Le Parfum is not good. I had sampled it a couple times in the store, and it's been "blah" to me. But before saying anything here, I decided to go into Macy's yesterday and give it one more chance to make sure I remembered correctly. I sprayed the original Le Male on one arm, and Le Parfum on the other. Le Parfum still smells as bad as I remember, while the original Le Male is still good. So, I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't like the Le Parfum. I like the bottle though, the gold atomizer making it easy to tell which is which at a glance. If only the juice were any good. Since many people seem to like it, it goes to show everybody doesn't have the same sense of smell.

  • @justaddlight
    @justaddlight 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Good to know that I'm not the only one. I was politely ignored when I mentioned that I didn't like it long ago. 🤣 A sort of, "♫ Everybody likes le parfum, so why don't you ♫" I'll be generous though and give it a 2.5/5. The bell curve has shifted to the LEFT.

  • @geletrode
    @geletrode 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you smell other bottles besides that one maybe christ's? I wonder if its a off bottle, I dont get a lot of what you said. Either way i like this a lot and it last a long time on my skin and that is normally not the case. Though i will say i really do enjoy your honest review. You didnt bump up the points because it is popular or other reviewers like so mad respect for that.

    @glozone-718 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I personally found it tolerable at about the 45 minute mark. Opening was overly cardamom and lavender for me and the iris was very plasticky like you said. The sweetness that comes through makes the fragrance better but it’s still bad tbh. Club de nuit anything blows it out of the water 10x over

    I thought I was the only one who did not like it! The opening is pleasant enough, mix of mint and lavender, but I dont like the spicey dry down. Too much cardamom and synthetic moleculars. Performance is pretty poor for a eau de parfum. I really wanted to like it, wore it many times, but in the end I resold it.

    I'll be one of those that actually sticks up for it, I can wear it and find it nice enough. I have a bottle, but... I thought Ultra was a bit of a simple mess and to be this is like a refined version of it. It's like driving a 1995 Escort diesel and then getting into a 2018 BMW diesel, it's still the same shite there, but much more refined and nicer.
    Maybe if I liked Ultra more, I'd say this is a bag of shite. But I like this, taking it for what it is and not what I hope or expect it to be.

    Hm. Yeah it's a boring, tame and fairly synethic frag. I wore it once and that was enough, but I don't think it's as bad as you're making out. Plenty of worse designers I've smelled. But like always, thanks for the review, and it's nice to see a bit of honesty about a frag regardless of whether we agree or not.

  • @cplively
    @cplively 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've only had it a couple of days, but it's pretty much what I have expected to this point. It stays true to being a Le Male flanker. Purely on the smell, I would describe it as taking elements of Ultramale, Le Male and Armani Code Profumo and mixing them together. It's not as fruity/bubblegummy as Ultramale, not as herbal/minty/cola-like as Le Male, and not as root-beerish as Code Profumo. Whatever is left of those fragrances in common, that's what I pick up in Le Parfum.
    Edit, I'll add one more fragrance. La Nuit de L'Homme

  • @domcagney2352
    @domcagney2352 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Couldn't agree more, I didn't dislike the scent persay I was just incredibly let down. I remember hearing all the reviews and seeing the notes and being SO excited. I love the original, it's so nostalgic for me so I couldn't wait for what was being described as a modern, more mature version of the original. What a let down, that is not what this is at all- It definitely smells much more like Ultra Male with an added leather note, it smells NOTHING like the original...It smells more like Azzaro Naughty Leather or Carolina Herrera Bad Boy- which are both pleasant but very bland. I was almost irritated with the reviewers that I normally love so much for leading me so far astray lol- luckily I only got a sample. It was such a missed opportunity bc it could've been such a bold, unique fragrance.
