Le Male Popeye Eau Fraiche

I never thought I'd like another Le Male again. This is either through not trying them because they are just the original formula in a new bottle. Alternatively, the whole appeal of Le Male flankers just being lost on me or even if it is the original, the new formulations are worse than what I remember from the 90's having been thoroughly put off by over use. I don't have anything against Le Male, I kinda like the smell on other people it just goes sour when it dries down on my skin. Popeye eau fraiche is somehow different? Maybe it's the ambroxan but I get an overall much more comforting and sweet smelling vanilla with a hint of tonka and some fresher notes in the opening. Popeye is now on clearance sale in the UK and I'm tempted to pick up a bottle. Update: Right I'm wearing this now and it does open with a aldehyde and aquatic vibe, crossed with classic le male and then a sweet, bubblegum/banana medicine thing...a la Ultra male. It's weird to me that a mixture of abroxan, salty aquatic, milky le male fougere and insipid sweetness actually works. The drydown is pleasant any stronger or more projecting and I think it could cross the line into cloying. The key here is balance, it's as simple as that. I stick to my initial thoughts I like it and I genuinely like Popeye as well so it's a winner.

Blind bought this and got this arrive today,my first impression would be yeap.. Bubble gummy smell with strong of mint notes on it for the 1st hour, after the that I started to pick up some clean linen laundry smell (maybe as what other mention as detergent smell😁) but at least is smell pleasant for me. You definitely smell like out from the shower will your teeth brushed and yeah.. The longevity was crazy.. Still smell strong and punching even now are almost 6pm (spray on 11am).. 1 spray on the neck is good to go.. Over spray might cause headache or nausea.. I love this overall *update - 3rd day from the delivery day.. I guess I found my signature scent of me. Spray it at 9.30 am, smell keep punching until the afternoon and slowly to tame a bit.. Was taking a break and get some fresh air from my working place about 5pm, and suddenly noticed a comforting smell just grab my attention. Was looking around where the smell came from, no one was around and found out actually the smell is came from myself..! I thought that maybe after 7 hour from the morning spray it will sit close to the skin but its not.. Just move your body a little to get a little warm up the smell just snap and revive! Just like Popeye got his spinach! Hope jpg will bring Popeye to their collection again.. Please

Greetings, I received this fragrance a few years back as a present. It was the sweetest fragrance in my collection. I do agree with most reviewers, it's a minty bubble gum citrus fragrance with some floral notes. Highly unisex in my opinion and perfect for the summer. I was looking for a replacement for it, as the price cannot be justified in my opinion. It is interesting, but not complex enough to pay a decent amount of money for. Therefore I have decided not to buy the original and look for replacement. The rabbit hole was deep and not as perfect as I imagined, however there are worthy replacements, albeit a bit more "mature" sounding. The alternatives are: Boss Unlimited (more spicy, less sugar) Lacoste white (rather mature scent, which is a more "grown up" alternative) Zara Summer Edition (a homage to Boss Unlimited) Jfenzi Desso Green (a generic clone of Boss Unlimited, with more mint and less florals and citrus) There are also some "cousins" which are Puma Jamaica, and perhaps PR Invictus, but they are not true replacements. After looking at longevity, silage and price I have decided to use Jfenzi Desso Green as a budget replacement for "minty" fragrances in my collection and I hope that some of you might find this review useful. 8/10

Original Le Male meets Ultra Male and Chanel Allure Homme Sport and guess what - the combination really rocks my world! I got so hooked up with this scent that I had to buy two bottles immediately (it's a limited edition you know). I was very skeptical to even try this, since usually the summer versions of Le Male have NOT been different enough to the original one. But this one is something else indeed! The top notes of aldehydes and neroli (possibly mint too, though my nose doesn't detect it so clearly) makes me think of the freshness of Allure Homme Sport and Nikos Sculpture, but I can also recognize the sweet tonka note immediately which makes me think of Ultra Male and also Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme. I absolutely love the contrast of the "radiant" lighter and fresher notes and the deeper, mouthwatering sweet notes. The projection and longevity are exceptionally good on my skin and clothes. I have got plenty of inquiries what scent I'm having and also compliments when wearing this sexy beast. I think they should add this one into their permanent selection - it's my favorite version of all the Le Males!

In my opinion, the best Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance! Minty, sweet, with tonka bean?! I love it! I don't really know how Popeye was chosen as this fragrance mascot. Maybe, because this fragrance smells green and Popeye eats spinach? However, I can very much picture a handsome sailor rocking this fragrance. Popeye is a very casual, summer-time fragrance. And, women LOVE IT! Every girl that I've asked all loved it with no one ever gave this fragrance anything below an 8/10. Every time I'm hanging out with a girl and I get close to her, they compliment me. This fragrance is a womanizer gem! This fragrance does smell a lot like Chanel Allure Homme eau de Extreme. More sweeter than Allure Extreme, but very similar. However, for the price tag? Yes, please! Now, I heard that Superman smells nearly identical to Superman, but I haven't tried Superman yet. However, as of 2018, Superman is much more easier to find than Popeye. Scent: 9/10 Performance: 8/10 Sillage: 8/10 Compliments: 10/10 Price: 10/10
