I am 18 and my generation missed the le male phase. I went to Macy’s and sprayed le male on my wrist and asked a girl what she thought, and she absolutely loved it. I think that with all the new coming fragrances smelling exactly the same, le male might appeal to the younger generation because it is completely different to what is out there, and smells great.
Le male? Yes! For me and many women its still relevant. Why explorer is more relevant than le male? Its Aventus Clone and Most People says that aventus (explorer also) is overdated and to earthy boring. Le male still wins!
Reformulations in the fragrance world usually do end up in an "inferior" product. It's almost always weaker and often destroys the scent. With this, I think they knew this was no longer a clubbing fragrance but so many people grew up with this, making it more "office friendly" would preserve the life of this.
I have my doubts about this fragrance working in an office setting, hands down this is a clubbing fragrance. I don't know why they reformulate fragrances though, it's as though a fragrance is retired from service and put out to pasture.
I am really suprised that you did not mention the fact that Le Male used to be a beast performer back in the 90s. As big a performer as i have come across in my time. To put it into some sort of context. Back in the 90s, i used to wear Le Male to go out pubbing and Clubbing. Bear in mind, these pubs and clubs were FULL of smokers back then. But, id come home after a night out, go to sleep, wake up rough, and still be able to smell le male on myself and my clothes, right up until about 6pm, when i would go jump in the shower to get ready for work. It really was a monster performer. NOW, when i put it on, im lucky if i can still detect the frag after about 1-2 hours.
I really like this particular format George. With the background you’ve had in the industry I think you should definitely continue these “Relevancy” vids. I’ve only just recently bought a bottle, for a low price I might add, and I’m really enjoying Le Male.
All these years gone by and its still my Mrs Fav, must admit, its always been my no .1 Even though its obviously dated now, I still think it knocks Eros and Explorer for Six, It just smells better, lasts longer and projects like a beast...a totally timeless classic!
I will also add, if someone is looking for a clone of what Le Male used to be 10 years ago, then here it is. Milton Lloyd Bondage Homme. It's extremely close with the longevity and projection. Smells almost identical according to reviews on Fragrantica.
Imo in a very iris dominated “masculine” fragrance world the powderyness of Le Male feels very comfortable. It’s extremely wearable and it just puts a smile on my face. Performance has gone down but it does still smell amazing. Big fan of this masterpiece. Francis Kurkdjian’s must be so proud
I bought the 200ml version. It smells nice and is longer lasting, which is great! Most male chanel arent long lasting!!! The father of my brother had it in the early 2000's and i always thought, what a great scent!
I remember my ex buying me a bottle when it originally came out, was quite groundbreaking at the time, kinda set the foundation for my own taste in fragrance as I absolutely love barbershop style fougeres. I do remember the original being stronger and also purchasing a replacement bottle a few years later and being disappointed as it had changed, something was missing, didnt know about reformulations back then. Had a 200ml bottle around 3 years ago and burnt through it really quick, I'm heavy on the sprayer, haven't felt the need to buy again. For me Azzaro pour homme does it better.
The understanding you have for reviews is unreal , this was by far the most helpful review I’ve watched , no one else explains things the way you do , they just expect us to know terms they use , a lot of us are new to this (including me) you got my sub and thank you
Your video just came in time. Honesty I was about to purchase this from notino, and a 200 ml for £68, but it’s old hat, I think I’m just reminiscing to the old days. I’m very much into Tom Ford , Creed and Amouage so why go back the way. Still love the smell thou. Keep the videos coming mate. Kind regards from Bonnie Scotland 🏴
I am new to collecting fragrances . I only have about 25 and I do own JPG Ultra Male not Le Male , and I do think I have smelled Le Male before but I have never owned one . Ultra Male is my top Club fragrance but maybe I should get a bottle of Le Male just so I can experience it . Good video as always George . Keep doing your thing 👍
Based on what I've heard, Ultra Male is the special occasion/night club alternative to the daily wearer Le Male. So I would say, if you like the overall basis of Ultra Male, and are interested in something to spray and go, Le Male is your best bet.
I started my fragrance journey six months ago. I have 16 scents. My first compliment was with JPG’s Le Male. Nurse tracked me down…moaned and groaned as she sheepishly asked what I was wearing.
George your bloody brilliant! Love your passion... ok. Le Male is a fragrance that got me back in to fragrances 20 years after finishing my vintage bottle of Fahrenheit. Le Male is by far the top 5 fragrances on the planet. Debatable, I know, but you are right that it somewhat does not have a place anymore... for now. I think reformulation has caused classics to die off. Imagine all of the great classics, in all of their beauty never changing due to consumerism or otherwise, still smelling and performing as they used too. (Very few do today). It may be the reason why there are so many players in the marketplace right now. Wear what you love.
I absolutely loved the bottle my stepdad handed down to me around year 2000. I used 3/4 of it quickly. Then it took the back seat to whatever else I had at the time. I found that same bottle few years ago and used the rest. It still smelled like it did around year 2000, good shelf life. I sniffed a current bottle at Macy’s the other day. I though it smelled different compared to my old bottle. I was ordering Explorer online and needed to spend a couple more dollars to get free shipping so I added a 1.4oz bottle of Le Male. I wanted it for old times sake. I suppose we’ll see if it’s still got it after the reformations. Either way I don’t care since we’re moving into warmer weather. I’ve always considered it a little to sweet to wear in the high heat. Its not something I envision myself wearing on summer days. It’s much better suited for evenings or mild temps in my opinion.
Will forever be associated with Saturday nights at Twilo NYC circa mid-90s. What Joop was for the straight bridge and tunnel guys, Le Male was gayness in a bottle.
Nice Vid! Bought a 200 ml of Le Male in 2010 or so. Still 75% full. I recently fall in love with it again. It's still good imo. Wearing one spray of it to work every day.
Great clubbing scent , compliment getter . I smelt it recently and it's still very strong. I'm over 40 now so I think I'm too old for this fragrance. There's too many , aquatic, peppery ,ambroxan, and sweet fragrance's on the market these days, I guess there main focus is for the younger crowd.
@@talhaozbay5833 I don't really know. I'm new to this perfumer game. I've got a lot to learn. Until I saw this video, I never knew the formula changed.
I still enjoy Le Male. Oh how is wish I could acquire one the 1996 bottles!!! I have 5 different vintages, mostly by BPI. It's still great and I love it!
I agree about it's influence. One of the best designers ever, iconic stuff. Never liked it though 🤣 I think designers end up stripping a dimension from their fragrances when they reformulate, intentionally or not. It's the difference between seeing in 2d and 3d
Le Male EDT is always be my favourite scents. Don't care what peoples opinion good or bad. I'm wearing it for me, not for looking compliment from others.
I also got a couple 30 some year old bottles of CK Obsession For Men. So good. Gets unsolicited compliments. Barbershop with amber, civet, cinnamon and nutmeg.
I wish someone would explain why these products get reformulated and are rarely ever as good as the original. This is a perfect example. My first bottle in the early 2000’s was much more potent and I liked it a lot. The reincarnation is good but not great.
Sometimes it becomes diluted for revenue. Less raw substances and/or materials used in batches because they have become much more expensive. Sometimes materials get banned because new research shows an issue with that material for some people with a skin condition, etc. So the perfumer has to reformulate and capture the smell again with other materials, but typically there’s a trade off between longevity and projection. Expensive to have both.
Another thoughtful take, George. I rocked Le Male in the early noughties and even then it was overplayed. Back in 1995 the bottle, the advert and that fresh scent with a sweet vanilla drydown - like a subversion of a barbershop fragrance - must have seemed really "out there", camp and a world away in concept & marketing from the masculine 80s powerhouse scents. I like how you point out the direct line of descent from Le Male to Versace Eros. But it's hard to find a use case for the original now - it's not office appropriate and too out-of-style for a date or clubbing scent.
You know if a fragrance comes out at the end of a decade say Joop 1989 or fahrenheit 88,they make their mark in the decade after so both are 90s fragrances,hope you understand.
I don’t get what all the reformulation fuss is about. I’ve owned a 2009 bottle and just picked one up today in 2022. There is a slightly noticeable difference on top, and it may dry down a hair faster. It’s a bit more creamy, not as much contrast. But it’s still Le Male 🤷♂️ This is something that I’ll spray on after a shower, if I’m just staying in the house for the day. It’s still incredibly delightful; distinct from the citrus and sugar monsters of today. I’m saying goodbye to my 20s, and I’m married, so I’m not exactly attention seeking with what I wear. If my wife likes it, it’s a bonus.
Who cares if it’s trendy or not. What matters if you like wearing it and how it makes you feel. Ironically I used to love Sean Paul Gaultier II Unisex. That was my jam. I always got compliments from women (tho I’m gay), that I smelled really nice. Now it’s discontinued. I’m not very fond of citrus. I actually love vanilla and lavender, and in general sweet, woody, musky, heavy in your face scents. I forgot I had a bottle of Le Male. I never really liked it. Dunno, but smells synthetic to me. Not sure if it’s the lavender or the vanilla🤷🏾♀️ Or maybe because it’s old, and I’ve never worn it.
I started my perfume journey around 2014 and promptly remembered a rusty old aluminum can with "jean paul gaultier" on it that had moved with me and my dad through several homes - it was an unopened 75ml le male vintage. I wore the shit out of that juice hahaha
Since Le Male was often seen as quite a metro scent, with the ongoing rise of the LGBTQ+ community, I wonder if it isn't more relevant now than ever? Personally, I've always considered it the antithesis of ADG and forever his flamboyant brother. So as long as that is one is relevant and nostalgia survives, so too does the bulging torso. 😄😄 Leaf over the balls be damned. 🍁
I have JPG Ultra Male Intense second batch and love it. I wear it rarely because I want it to last longer and waste its sweet and sexual juice. I might buy JPG Aviator once it circulates around U.S.A.
Great video love le male,yes reformulated in 2007 all bottles before that were beastly and smelt amazing,but from 2007 till 2016/2017 wasnt very good they were very weak,but then from 2017 they were taken on by puig and le male changed again this time alot better smelling and stronger I have a special Christmas edition with the puig print on the bottom and it's so much better than before 2016/2017 bottles,so basically if you want a good version of Le male today then look on the bottom of the tin can or bottle for the PUIG printed on it 👍
Perfumes are really personal, i enjoy more le male than dior savage, mont blanc exporer, etc. You have to wear what you like and thankfully Le male DNA is a catch in the female field, therefore even the millenial female generation will enjoy it. This fragrance will be for the rest of my life, because it is really delightful.
Well reformulation does exist 🤣 whoever said they didn't is a knob but, they are not always a bad thing and case and point the one you spoke of l'instant I have all three formulations infront of me as we speak and I get almost no detectable difference in them 🤷♂️🤣 but I also have a 2007 or 2006 le male cant remember but it indeed has suffered tremendously, I have vintage bottles of cool water and it too has been battered beyond recognition the ones I have are more green than aquatic, very much closer to GIT anyway yes they do exist.
My partner loved this however the last 2 bottle s have been very very poor. No staying power at all so much so we don't buy it anymore, it's definitely weaker than the original. Very disappointed as it's the most amazing male fragrances out there.
Sumgi I bought the big bottle for the cheap and initially for a year and half I felt the same. I recently brought it back out and ladies love the scent. Which is why I wear it. Ladies love the dna of it
Rich Mitch eBay. Make sure they have a picture of the label on the bottom of the bottle and that it says it was made by “Cosmair.” It can say EDT or Cologne....they are both the same concentration. Mine smell great. I bit of a harsh opening but then it is niche quality and magical. They have real oakmoss as well in that formulation. Don’t get vintage made by “Warner.” That formulation is older, but the Cosmair smells better. It will fill the room with three sprays. Beast.
Num banheiro inteiramente branco e limpo, um homem toma banho na ducha quente, onde o chuveiro projeta seu vapor ao toque da água quente na cerâmica fria do piso. Ele ensaboa-se inteiramente e uma camada aveludada de uma espessa espuma alva forma-se em seu corpo. Tem os pelos alinhados sobre sua pele, esticada pelos músculos retesados no trabalho de ensaboar todos os homizios cantos. A barra de sabonete que ele segura com sua mão forte tem um odor de lavanda e baunilha; adocicado e ao mesmo tempo fresco, como brisas de hortelã, flores de laranjeira e cardamomo, junto também ao doce da fava tonka. No banheiro, tudo se mistura. O próprio odor do homem mescla-se com o da espuma, da água cálida e das mornas sensações embaixo do chuveiro que, mesmo com seu jato quente, traz frescor. Eis uma descrição para Le Male por Jean-Paul Gautier; um perfume apaixonante e saponáceo; ao mesmo tempo que traz uma gama de especiarias orientais, revela-se um verdadeiro marinheiro que navega só entre um mar de tantos outros que tentam segui-lo, mas não conseguem.
Good vid george Le male and joop! Homme Every body knows its name and smell, you could include 1 million and to a lesser extent sauvage,bleu de chanel in that grouping No one likes le male or joop as much now I dont wear le male or joop any more 3 bottles of le male all beaute prestige and 1 bottle joop! Coty Thanks for the memories

Absolut!
Agree
One of the best fragrances ever made and women absolutely love it.

Why explorer is more relevant than le male? Its Aventus Clone and Most People says that aventus (explorer also) is overdated and to earthy boring.
Le male still wins!

This one and Dior Fahrenheit are both still relevant today...hard to beat the classics. I still wear both from time to time..

U go wrong now,u were coming right
To this day, I still get, that smells amazing compliments. It could be my body chemistry that works well with it. I don't really know. Here in the US
don dennis how can i distinguish le male with the reformulation modell ?
@@talhaozbay5833 I don't really know. I'm new to this perfumer game. I've got a lot to learn. Until I saw this video, I never knew the formula changed.
But can you say from experience, that this fragnance lasts long ?
Definitely! At least 6 -7 hrs for me in the winter and usually 3-4 in the summer
Thank you :)
I still enjoy Le Male. Oh how is wish I could acquire one the 1996 bottles!!! I have 5 different vintages, mostly by BPI. It's still great and I love it!
Personally not the biggest fan of le male , but I'm glad so many people found something they love 👌

My dad using that since 1999 and me since 2020 we’re great with that. İm 21 years old
Great video George, nice one bro. I still love Le Male and own a 2008 bottle. Eros is my all time No.1 compliment getter.
Le Male EDT is always be my favourite scents. Don't care what peoples opinion good or bad. I'm wearing it for me, not for looking compliment from others.
It’s still amazing and up to date compliment getter and will always be in the top five on a lot of lists
Well done. Well thought out video. Appreciate your candor. It is a classic for sure. Thanks for doing this series.

I also got a couple 30 some year old bottles of CK Obsession For Men. So good. Gets unsolicited compliments. Barbershop with amber, civet, cinnamon and nutmeg.
I too have 3 old bottles of the CK obsession. Beautiful and voluptuous! Extremely.
Daniel Webster Yes! It is a barbershop smell with some cinnamon and nutmeg. A little civet. It is great and still gets compliments today.
Lol I just realized that I basically said the same thing I said in my original comment.
I wish someone would explain why these products get reformulated and are rarely ever as good as the original.
This is a perfect example. My first bottle in the early 2000’s was much more potent and I liked it a lot. The reincarnation is good but not great.
Sometimes it becomes diluted for revenue. Less raw substances and/or materials used in batches because they have become much more expensive.
Sometimes materials get banned because new research shows an issue with that material for some people with a skin condition, etc.
So the perfumer has to reformulate and capture the smell again with other materials, but typically there’s a trade off between longevity and projection. Expensive to have both.
in what year did the previous formula stop?
JPG Le Male timeless
Another thoughtful take, George. I rocked Le Male in the early noughties and even then it was overplayed. Back in 1995 the bottle, the advert and that fresh scent with a sweet vanilla drydown - like a subversion of a barbershop fragrance - must have seemed really "out there", camp and a world away in concept & marketing from the masculine 80s powerhouse scents. I like how you point out the direct line of descent from Le Male to Versace Eros. But it's hard to find a use case for the original now - it's not office appropriate and too out-of-style for a date or clubbing scent.
You know if a fragrance comes out at the end of a decade say Joop 1989 or fahrenheit 88,they make their mark in the decade after so both are 90s fragrances,hope you understand.
Very objective and fair review and spot on IMO. I will still rock my Le Male from time to time though even though its time has passed.
Deja Vu moment. I dreamt that was replying to you.
Excellent video as always George. Today would you recommend Le Male or Prada Luna Rossa Sport?
Le Male modernised sounds correct George did they do the same with Amen original ...would appreciate your view on that please ...should I buy it?
Wow, what retail store do you go to? Here a 100ml of LeMale is $94, a 2.5oz is $80. I still wear it though & love it
I don’t get what all the reformulation fuss is about. I’ve owned a 2009 bottle and just picked one up today in 2022. There is a slightly noticeable difference on top, and it may dry down a hair faster. It’s a bit more creamy, not as much contrast. But it’s still Le Male 🤷♂️
This is something that I’ll spray on after a shower, if I’m just staying in the house for the day. It’s still incredibly delightful; distinct from the citrus and sugar monsters of today. I’m saying goodbye to my 20s, and I’m married, so I’m not exactly attention seeking with what I wear. If my wife likes it, it’s a bonus.
Who cares if it’s trendy or not. What matters if you like wearing it and how it makes you feel. Ironically I used to love Sean Paul Gaultier II Unisex. That was my jam. I always got compliments from women (tho I’m gay), that I smelled really nice. Now it’s discontinued. I’m not very fond of citrus. I actually love vanilla and lavender, and in general sweet, woody, musky, heavy in your face scents. I forgot I had a bottle of Le Male. I never really liked it. Dunno, but smells synthetic to me. Not sure if it’s the lavender or the vanilla🤷🏾♀️ Or maybe because it’s old, and I’ve never worn it.
Really nice video. Really liked when you talked how the trend was changed. Who knows were we are shifting next!
I started my perfume journey around 2014 and promptly remembered a rusty old aluminum can with "jean paul gaultier" on it that had moved with me and my dad through several homes - it was an unopened 75ml le male vintage. I wore the shit out of that juice hahaha
Loving the Christmas decorations
Whats the nice house beat called? :)
Did you find out? I want to know as well
How would you compare this fragrance to rochas man ??
Would love to see a video like this with Armani Code if possible, thanks for the great content!
In 2019 there was another reformulation of Le Male, right? What do you think about ir??
Great video as always George :) I am a sucker for the original honestly, I just love the le male DNA...but then again, I’m weird 🤷♀️
George. You are loved

I don’t know how is le male this days-I own a 2007 bottle-10/15 ml till empty , and is okay..sorry for my English 😅
Reflection 45 mate, its the ultimate upgrade
I have JPG Ultra Male Intense second batch and love it. I wear it rarely because I want it to last longer and waste its sweet and sexual juice. I might buy JPG Aviator once it circulates around U.S.A.
I remember a night when wore Le Male - that was the night I met my girlfriend. Strangely she was pregnant 3 weeks later....
Great video love le male,yes reformulated in 2007 all bottles before that were beastly and smelt amazing,but from 2007 till 2016/2017 wasnt very good they were very weak,but then from 2017 they were taken on by puig and le male changed again this time alot better smelling and stronger I have a special Christmas edition with the puig print on the bottom and it's so much better than before 2016/2017 bottles,so basically if you want a good version of Le male today then look on the bottom of the tin can or bottle for the PUIG printed on it 👍
My girlfriend love this fragrance lol so it's a winner
Got a 125ml for a good price but the bottle seems off, can anyone help me out ?
Perfumes are really personal, i enjoy more le male than dior savage, mont blanc exporer, etc.
You have to wear what you like and thankfully Le male DNA is a catch in the female field, therefore even the millenial female generation will enjoy it.
This fragrance will be for the rest of my life, because it is really delightful.
To many people buy fragrances to impress other people, wear what you like not what other people like. Who cares what everybody else thinks
Jason Godwin
True you must also like it.
You’re the one wearing it.
Givenchy Gentleman only is adecvate to la male..I think 🤔
Mad, I know but ultra+ a touch of azzaro wild mint is wonderful.
Reformulation is fully real. I have a 2012 LMDL and a 2019 and it’s so much weaker now. Still smells great but definitely not as strong
Top top frag.. fav of mine.. love it.... Le male rulez!!!!
Great vid, please do more vids like that
its a reformulation, now its made in Spain. not in France. not sure if it makes a difference.
Well reformulation does exist 🤣 whoever said they didn't is a knob but, they are not always a bad thing and case and point the one you spoke of l'instant I have all three formulations infront of me as we speak and I get almost no detectable difference in them 🤷♂️🤣 but I also have a 2007 or 2006 le male cant remember but it indeed has suffered tremendously, I have vintage bottles of cool water and it too has been battered beyond recognition the ones I have are more green than aquatic, very much closer to GIT anyway yes they do exist.
Good series 👍 Keep it up!
My partner loved this however the last 2 bottle s have been very very poor. No staying power at all so much so we don't buy it anymore, it's definitely weaker than the original. Very disappointed as it's the most amazing male fragrances out there.
On another note Dylan Blue is a very underrated fragrance.
Lol no its not.
i see it taked about on every comment section
Sumgi I bought the big bottle for the cheap and initially for a year and half I felt the same. I recently brought it back out and ladies love the scent. Which is why I wear it. Ladies love the dna of it

Yup. Some love it more that eros
Please do for this same serie of videos one about Dior Fahrenheit! :)
I still have this
If it was good in the first place why would not be now??
Ever heard of 'reformulation'?
If they didn’t water down mugler Cologne so far from when it first came out around 2002, it would probably be the only fragrance I would ever wear.
You are smart. So wonderfully spoken and cute. Need you in my life.
I smelled it yesterday in India
didn't last even for an hour
Way too week
Mahadevi Sutar you got a fake one
India only sells fakes
@@Kocho.g35 I checked it in a very reputed shopping mall
Shopper Stop

Got a 4.2oz from Macy’s. It doesn’t last long at all... Disappointing. Becomes a skin scent after an hour or two.
I went out of my way to buy bottles of 30 some year old Cosmair Polo. It is fantastic. The modern formulation is horrible.
where from, need!
Rich Mitch eBay. Make sure they have a picture of the label on the bottom of the bottle and that it says it was made by “Cosmair.” It can say EDT or Cologne....they are both the same concentration. Mine smell great. I bit of a harsh opening but then it is niche quality and magical. They have real oakmoss as well in that formulation. Don’t get vintage made by “Warner.” That formulation is older, but the Cosmair smells better. It will fill the room with three sprays. Beast.

Num banheiro inteiramente branco e limpo, um homem toma banho na ducha quente, onde o chuveiro projeta seu vapor ao toque da água quente na cerâmica fria do piso. Ele ensaboa-se inteiramente e uma camada aveludada de uma espessa espuma alva forma-se em seu corpo. Tem os pelos alinhados sobre sua pele, esticada pelos músculos retesados no trabalho de ensaboar todos os homizios cantos. A barra de sabonete que ele segura com sua mão forte tem um odor de lavanda e baunilha; adocicado e ao mesmo tempo fresco, como brisas de hortelã, flores de laranjeira e cardamomo, junto também ao doce da fava tonka. No banheiro, tudo se mistura. O próprio odor do homem mescla-se com o da espuma, da água cálida e das mornas sensações embaixo do chuveiro que, mesmo com seu jato quente, traz frescor. Eis uma descrição para Le Male por Jean-Paul Gautier; um perfume apaixonante e saponáceo; ao mesmo tempo que traz uma gama de especiarias orientais, revela-se um verdadeiro marinheiro que navega só entre um mar de tantos outros que tentam segui-lo, mas não conseguem.
Prince .....for music .....😀
i remember it being nuclear in 2002....now its not as dense, therefore i wont buy it again.
It’s a very quite a very big claim
