Le Male In The Navy

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male In the Navy is pretty awesome. Is it original, no not at all. Is it generic, mostly. That said it has its own character to it. Unlike most Le Male and Le Male flankers, I don't think it is overpriced. I've made that comment several times. Why, it has maybe only one clear clone to it and I cannot even call that a clone, since both came out at the same time. Le Male In the Navy is aquatic throughout. It opens up with some mint, but it isn't overpowering. This gives it an Eros feeling. That said, it is more aquatic Eros since there is considerable watery notes in the open and the mid. The open is water and the mid is sea water, maybe some salt in it. In the base is a vanilla and ambergris mix. It is a very clean but sweet medium blue fragrance. Le Male in the Navy is similar to several fragrances. I already mentioned Eros and fragrances that smell like it. It also smells like Invictus and the dozens of clones. There are also some similarities to Yves Saint Laurent Y and Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Sun Pour Homme. That said the fragrance that smells the closest to this to my nose is John Varavatos JVxNJ. The original blue bottle JVxNJ came out roughly at the same time as In the Navy with mostly similar notes. Pretty sure I smelt both in the same night and wondered if I smelt the same thing. JVxNJ isn't as widely available and has been discontinued so you may need to resort to In the Navy, but that is only because it is cheaper. Le Male in the Navy is a spring, summer and fall scent. It can be worn day and night. I do think it is damn near a skeleton key. While it has similarities to some fragrances, I do think that it isn't gonna be too close to "smell like an ex or brother." You will absolutely not smell like a date's father with it. I think it can work even dressed up because it is a clean smelling fragrance. You will also project pretty good with In the Navy and it lasts, so it can work in a club. Especially during summer nights. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male In the Navy is a fragrance to get if you like Invictus but want something somewhat different to it. I am 99% sure this is why I love it. I rate it an 8.5 out of 10 for great performance, a great smell. The only knock if any is it smells like a number of fragrances on the market, even if it is better than some of the comparable options.

its not as sparkly mint as you ind in superman/popeye eau fraiche, i thought the opening was similar to dunhill icon racing and then goes towards new invictus aqua, but after an hour or so it changes...and to something nicer than the opening, it gets oceanic and fresh, like a sailor would portray, and gets sweeter with vanilla....not like le male show off kind but a gentle sailor who is soft/less spoken, and he sees a lot of the sea...reminded of roadster by cartier but not that intense or green, it say it has ambergris which is more likely to be ambroaxan, but it didnt annoy me....love the mid and base more than the opening. this is a nice fragrance for people who like ocean breeze minus the salt, like Erolfa, great under rated release....perfect time to wear is breezy summer days when its sunny :) 8/10

I bought this off of eBay and wow its the best fragrance I own. I went out to lunch just the other day and I got at least 4 compliments. Even my dad asked me to get this for him for his birthday lol. I got a 125ml for like $100 off of eBay so I don't have to worry about running out anytime soon. 10/10 fragrance. It really makes for a special spring/summer fragrance. The smell is super unique in my opinion and the longevity/projection is really good for me. My only complaint is that they discontinued it lol. Price: 10/10 (may vary since its only available on eBay now) Longevity: 8.5/10 (doesn't last quite all day but lasts closer to 6-7 hours) Projection: 9/10 (projects really nicely, doesn't annoy anyone but smells great) Smell: 10/10 (I can't say I've ever had an aquatic fragrance like this one)

After purchasing a 10ml decant and blowing through that I ended up picking up a new tester bottle at a good price on ebay. I recently sold my bottle of Popeye eau freiche, for me it was too sweet/juvenile and I just couldn't wear it anymore. This however is much more mature. I love the fresh vibrant opening and the vanilla drydown on my skin is so smooth. I would gladly choose this over most of the boring aquatic fresh scents out there other than Invictus Aqua (2016). Longevity is not as bad as some people have mentioned, but its not beast mode. I would say average. But then again I don't need a fragrance to last me 9 hours if i'm only going out for a few. Easy dumb reach freshie for going out to the store or the gym. I asked my lady friend's opinion and she definitely liked it!

This smells like the best JPG to me personally and it is very versatile. While I do agree this does resemble that vanilla scent you get from Eros, I would say you could wear this outside of the club and smell fresh and sexy which I personally disagree with Eros. It has vanilla but a great aquatic scent making you feel sexy and warm with the vanilla bean and the aquatic scent makes you feel much lighter than Eros so you can keep the party going. Definitely one of my favorite scents. As for the person below who says it smells like Nautica Voyage: Either you got ripped off on the smell, or you shouldn't comment on scents because I have the two bottles next to each other and no one would ever get these confused with each other.
