Le Mâle Pride Collector

I'm just here to add this is fantastic! I have/had vintage JPG bottles from the 90's and 00's and this right here makes them redundant - not even kidding. I purposely sought this formulation out (Puig/France, I think? Would have to check my bottle at home) and it's excellent. It's Le Male through and through as far as I'm concerned. If you don't want to hunt vintage Le Male, then this is it. Snag a bottle!

How could you hate on this? It’s the original Le Male, by Francis Kurkdjian. If you can’t stand how this smell, you’re in the wrong game. But I guess most reviewers haven’t smelled this one. I used Le Male back in the 90’s. This is the OG

To my nose this smells stronger than the current green bottle of Le Male. I did 2 sprays and 2 hours later a lady complimented me from 9 feet away. This thing travels. If you like the OG Le male you will love this one.

This is a weird one. The same profile as the original, but last longer. I’ve tried both at the same time, but the longevity on this is way better than the OG.

Errm what exactly is the problem with this rainbow 'collector's bottle'? If ever there was a brand and particular product for which it seems appropriate it's this one. I can only imagine the reactions if something like Greed Aventus or Dior Sausage came out in rainbow flags. For that I would grab a bag of popcorn and watch the online meltdown. For Le Mâle it seems to make sense, let's be honest love it or loathe it, the bottle is so iconic that no matter the colour scheme or 'dressing' it's going to be a collector's item. As for the scent, seems it's going to be the same, not really my kind of scent but I respect it as a real show-stopping fragrance, instantly recognisable, somehow compelling (even to me) and hugely influential. The lavender, mint, orange blossom and vanilla quartet are really something else here, extremely powerful stuff and a landmark release. Chapeau monsieur JPG (and Kurkdjian of course).
