Le Mâle Eau Fraîche André Edition

This is amazing, to me this is to the Le Male line what Allure Homme Sport is to the Allure Homme line from Chanel in that it basically takes the original, makes it airier and adds a dominant citrus off the top. This might actually be my favorite of the Le Male line, I've only rated this as a "Like", but it could very easily end up being a love because I definitely do really enjoy this one. I think it's a year round fragrance because it has that OOMPH that's required to cut through the cold, but it's also nice, airy, citrusy and refreshing in a way that makes it perfectly viable for even the hottest summer days which is also reminiscent of Allure Homme Sport. No idea how long this is going to last year, but it seems like it's going to be strong, usually I can tell about how long it's going to go but sometimes a fragrance will just kind of pack up and leave after a few hours even when it starts off really strong. I don't think this one is going to do that though, JPG is a really solid designer house and they traditionally don't let me down with the performance of their frags. I think you can wear this to the office or you can wear it out on a more casual summer daytime date or something like that. I also think this would be an amazing beach fragrance. Get this if you really like things like Allure Homme Sport, Versace Pour Homme and YSL L'Homme and if you just like bright, happy smelling fragrances if that makes any sense. Was able to get this for about $60 which is amazing for this, I would pay for this up to $100 but not more than that. I think this is supposed to be more or less the same as the other Eau Fraiche Le Male fragrances that cost way more, so just skip those unless you need to add them to your collection and try to find a deal on this one.

Batch 80452 (Feb 2018) Rewriting review, April 15, 2023 Please disregard my previous review as I haven't tried it enough to write full-review. JPG Le Mâle Eau Fraîche André Edition is Aldehydic rich fragrance. Resulting in Laundry-like clean fresh, with mild vanilla-sweet undertone. However, this is quite special as it has creamy/smooth touch so it become soft of Fabric softener smelling, the develop is linear It just become Powdery vanilla overtime. As above statement is might turn you-off. This is very pleasant on skin. As this is quite unique scent profile that quite hard to find in other fragrance. The closest thing I can possible think off is Perfum de marlays Galloway. which smell like Bleach (Aldehyle-Iris-Musk), this is special in it own right as it has (Aldehyde-Vanilla-Powdery) which head differently than Galloway. This is perfect for your Casual day / weekend. This is smell sweet, clean and inoffensive. No, this is doesn't have strong LeMale or Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme DNA. I still rate this 9/10 and it is perfect for day-off, clean skin scent. Score : 9/10 Classification : Unisex (Male 50% / Female 50%) Longevity : 6-7 hours Projection : Moderate and become clean-skin scent ===Original review on Dec 20, 2022=== Batch 80452 (Feb 2018) Severely serve clean detergent - fabic softener vanilla, almost feel like coconutly on skin. Dry down further to clean woody. Not excatly the same with AHSEE, this feel a knot tricker than AHSEE in my opinion. But same vibe. I think this serve as Syntetic fragrance in its finest form. Easily compliment getter. Longevity : 7 hours+ Projection : Moderate 9/10

The original Le Male is not one I've ever owned, and it never particularly excited me when I smelt it on other people. However I have recently become interested in some of the flankers in the line, since I bought by first one, which was Essence de Parfum. I have bought four since then and this is the latest as I was intrigued by the love that Superman and Popeye got, back in the day and still seem to despite being discontinued. When I discovered that this one was essentially the same, but apparently projects better, I thought I'd get hold of a bottle. I'm pleased I did, as I like sweet scents and this is very sweet and synthetic smelling, but once it settles after about 5 mins, it is amazing. As a musician, I tend to weigh up scent in a similar way to sounds, ie. treble/bass. This is definitely treble heavy as the mint and bubblegum vibes make it quite bouncy. It seems to project well too. I think this would ideally be suited to spring/early summer as it might be a little cloying for the hot summer weather. For me JPG On Board is better for summer, as it is less sweet and a bit more chilled out and mellow.

It's just same as many other designer frags that have a summer edition, every summer they change bottle, packaging etc. WHO CARES!! If u like the fragrance buy it, if not don't. Some people collect them for bottles, if u think bottles are "Child like" then just ignore them and carry on your way. JPG is not only company doing this, and fact they do, it says it's selling. U know what I don't like, some company making a frag and charging $500-$1000 for it cause of hype..then they also want to charge u $10 for a 1ml sample??? WTF..I gotta pay for the privilege to sample your fragrance?? Shove it! I will buy a knock off for $40 that many people says smells the same. Only people who say Avantus is so much better then armaf clone, are people who bought avantus for huge $$ and don't want to admit it. Anyway I digress..it's just people whining about bottles, and nothing is "original" bother me sometimes. its the "original" niche people that are getting scent free zones implemented everywhere. Rant done..

This is like the light version(eau fraiche) of CAHSEE. Chanel's mandarine is replaced by floral neroli. The creamy vanilla becomes a dusty powdery vanilla here. If you like CAHSEE but want an airy version for summer then this is it. Longevity is also better here lasting 8+ hours albeit as a skin scent vs 6hrs with Chanel when using 4 sprays. Reviews here state it's a minty laundry scent and I wouldn't disagree. Now this may not sound appealing but it is charming in its refreshing and comforting nature. Unfortunately, this has been discontinued and prices are now on par with Chanel. I'd probably rather have CAHSEE instead but it might come down to whichever I can find a better deal on. Hopefully JPG will reissue this again as a new flanker as they have done in the past with Superman, Popeye and this flanker. .
