Le Male In Blue

I don't want to be a hoarder but I need 10 more of these. Spraying first ten seconds feels like anis alcohol, wait 10 min for the dry down. Oh. Jesus fearing sugar gliders. IT'S HEAVENLY. La Male trying to be Armani trying to be a player in the niche world. So pleasant, so satisfying. Cold euphoric juicy bitter sex appeal elegance. I have it for three days and it's my biggest compliment monster. Women love it, two female friends asked me wow what smells so good? Than get embarrassed when I say it's a men's cologne, (I'll never understand why) and a man at a counter in the cassba actually asked me to wait so he can get a pen so I can write it down for him. The smell is a lot like the ad, 90's, sensual, smooth, euphoric The base feels like lavender anis on what feels to me like unlisted sandalwood + OG Le Male vanilla and candy DNA. It's NOT aquatic and that's where it actually differs from the ad. But in this case the ad art director kinda nailed it. Comforting and sexy. New and cold bitter. Nothing cloying. Oh my heart gonna break even they take this off assembly line. Don't be disappointed: You should know, it's not spicy or poignant it's smooth You should know, It's not extremely mature I'd say age 20 to 45 was probably what JPG were aiming for plus anyone who likes to feel young and elegant. If you like leather tobacco and spice that's not it. You should know, it's bitter icy rather than very sweet, tho it has tad tinny bitty sweetness it's no Le Beau You should know, It's more Armani Code/ Mania family than Le Male family, or sort of the love child of both 😻 I'd make it hot fuchsia stripes on black instead of teal and call it "After Me" instead of "In Blue". I do think it's what I call "Heterosexual boys wanting to smell good for their girlfriends" genre but it's in the upper intellectual level of those. Not a dumb reach. Sex appeal without smelling dated. Unisex Black Opium with more joy and without the heavy library note. Yummy. Yumm. Yummy. I'm happy. Never discontinue this.

Le Male In Blue is not only a welcome edition to the longstanding house, but also to the "blue" genre of fragrances. This could easily be a contender for my best purchase this year. When it comes to the Le Male line of fragrances I only have but a handful ( Superman Eau Fraiche, Le Parfum, On Board, Ultra Male, and the OG) but it rivals them quite well in many ways. To my surprise, there are only three notes listed in this perfume and the opening greets me with an anise accord freshened up by the lavender. This can easily be overwhelming for some as its potency easily rivals Ultra Male. It has soft spicy undertones and remains sweet to the senses throughout its lifespan. Speaking of which, it easily lasts 12 hours on my skin even after a shower which is an impressive feat to say the least! I find that it resembles Superman Eau Fraiche most, especially in the opening, though it has the performance of Ultra Male as previously mentioned. It does have a slight resemblance to the OG and Le Parfum in the dry down. Also, it is quite different from what most people would consider a "blue" scent as it is quite sweet as previously mentioned. This can easily be worn all year and can be quite versatile in many situations, though I'd avoid formal settings. It can easily be a perfect night out and date fragrance. Just be mindful of the sprays as four sprays nearly choked me out! The only detriment to the perfume is that it is a limited edition which is a shame. I could see this being a big seller for the line if it were given a proper distribution to major retail outlets. Hopefully, those at JPG will reconsider it limited exclusivity window. I'm very pleased with Le Male In Blue and look forward to many more experiences with it. I can see this as being the Le Male of a new generation, though the OG is quite able to hold its own in the modern day. Hopefully, this review will be a blessing to you!

This smells like what I would expect blonde root beer to smell like. This sits somewhere in between Le Male and LMLP. Still has the classic powder and lavender Le Male base, with a touch of LMLP's enchanting vanilla/benzoin sweetness and the iris note swapped for an intriguing anise note. The anise comes across way more like root beer than licorice to my nose. For those unfamiliar with the note, it is a bit dark and earthy, but it also has this sparkly fresh spicy aroma that doesn't make the DNA feel too Christmassy. While this is pretty versatile and would work virtually anytime besides being outside in extremely hot and humid conditions, I still wouldn't exactly call this a "blue" fragrance. Either way, its interesting and if you tend to enjoy JPG DNA more often than not, you would probably enjoy this. This was the perfect addition to my collection as someone who absolutely adores LMLP but couldn't justify buying it due to already having Le Male Elixir and living in a nearly year round hot climate. Even if you own LMLP I wouldn't call this particularly redundant though. Solid performance, can smell on skin for 10ish hours and has impressive projection for almost half of it. Compared to Armani Code Parfum, I can definitely see the similiarities, but Code at its core is a rich iris and vanilla date night/formal scent, which comes across quite different than Le Male in Blue. Meanwhile, this would absolutely be redundant with the Prada Carbon EDP, only difference between these two is the Prada being more intense, thus less appropriate in warmer weather. Unlike LMLP, Elixir, or LBLP, I wouldn't swear this is good or groundbreaking enough to buy at full retail, but I'm quite happy with my purchase after finding this for $80.

This juice is very good. Don’t be fooled by the name: in blue, this is not a blue fragrance like Dior sauvage or blue de Chanel. In fact, this is a lighter (but not weaker), brighter and fresher version of le male Le parfum. They removed the vanilla and iris notes and replaced them with benzoin and anice. It opens with a blast of lavender, followed by the anice. After a few minutes the anice note takes the top spot, and stays there for the rest of the duration of the fragrance. The anice note never gets overpowering or agressive. It just sits there, providing freshness. Le male in blue is sweet and powdery, but not too sweet. It is very well blended and the freshness of anice creates a beautyful contrast with the powdery sweetnes of the Le parfum dna. In the deep drydown i smelled a little hint of Le male edt. Performance is very good. It projects for 3-4 hours, and It stays on my skin for 8-9 hours. I think you can wear this all year round, except very hot and humid days. You can wear this day and night, dressed up and dressed down. People who like the Armani code line will like this too. The downside of Le male in blue is the price. I paid 100 euro for 75 ml on the Jean Paul Gaultier website. However, I like Le Male in blue so much, that I am gonna get the 125 ml when It hits the discounters. Conclusion: Le Male in blue surprised me positively. I expected a blue fragrance, but got a fresher version of Le Male Le parfum. This in blue is currently my favorite in the line of Le male’s (and I have a lot) followed by Le parfum. It’s a Shame that this is a limited edition. This is the best fresh interpertation of the Le male dna in years. Ten times better than the hot mess that Le male lover was last year. 10/10!

★★★★ My relationship with Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances has been quite frozen since Fleur Du Male. I remember how that fragrance bridged an old school herbality with modern sweet floral accords modern at the time. An intriguing concept to say the least. I also remember how the original Le Male was a very charming minty herbal powdery character that unfortunately lost its soul somewhere in the 2010s. The current formula does not really speak to me. In the sea of Le Male Elixirs, Absolus and whatever else they have created drenched in sweet headache inducing chemicals, Le Male is a breath of fresh air. Its winning points for me are the following: - This one has a hint of the herbal character that was lurking in the original formulation -This composition relies on freshness through the use of a spice: star anise. The overall result is a timeless version of Le Male, one that can all generations can enjoy. Nostalgic enough for the boomers, Gen X and millennials, sweet and charming for the Gen Z. It's so good to be able to smell lavender and spice again in this legendary product line. The intention and vibes the original Le male was conveying in the 90s are all here, only tweaked and in lighter form. Maybe it's time for me to purchase my first JPG bottle in years.
