Bondage Hommes

Boozy, mint explosion at first. Absinthe isn't listed here, but is on the official notes and boy is it strong. Some cedar, lavender and cardamom come in after a few minutes which warms the scent up. Stays like that for me, I haven't noticed the Tonka/vanilla yet, lasts around 2.5hrs and is a just above skin scent to my nose, on my skin. Sprayed on a testing card and it projected a foot or two. So going to assume olfactory fatigue is setting in. Nice spicy, aromatic, just wish I could smell the vanilla more.

Starts off with a combo of mint and what I thought was anise, but official notes not listed here says absinthe, so we'll say that. Tingly, alcohol vibe, and with the mint reminds me of a mojito. Lavender comes through and then the dry down adds a smooth, rich blend of vanilla, Tonka and a hint of musk with that spicy absinthe layered over the top. Doesn't project too far that I've noticed, I'd say a few feet as I catch a whiff in a nice breeze, last 5hrs roughly with just 2 sprays.

So happy i found this gem. its more earthy/dirty than the current le male. people here say it smells like vintage le male, which i have never smelled so i cannot comment on that. but i tested duas vintage le male interpretation called error 404 and let me tell you that bondage hommes smells better. performance is great!! three quick squirts is all you need. i really don't know why anyone would choose the current le male above bondage hommes.

So Le Male gets rated at 3.96 but this gets 4.32 ??? I bought this for a lark as it was £5.25 inc p&p, the silly name appealed and I wanted a dumb daytime reach for holiday. You know what, its actually really good, wearable vanilla, lavender, a tad muskier, less sweet than the OG which makes it more grown up. Sure there's mint but I dont get the bomb implied by other reviewers. Performance is moderate but at this price who cares. 4/5

I' m so happy that I have discovered this hidden gem! If you like Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, and you are disappointed with the new reformulated version that barely last two hours, this is most definitely for you! Almost exact clone of Le Male with very strong scent and longevity that reach 8+ hours on clothes and 5+ on the skin, and also a very decent projection! Just amazing! I can't believe how something so cheap can be so good!
