A synthetic mess of the highest order. Mix Le Male with Rochas Man and add two drops of Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin. Since it’s supposedly for successful gentlemen who relax with something more laid-back on Fridays, let’s add clove so it’s not that fantasy disco parrot it’s becoming. And the bottle? Why not invent a 1987 design that looks like a canteen but also a souvenir from the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas? And the advert? Well, put a couple in a car ready for a weekend away at their country house, all very WASP and Ralph Lauren-esque! In my life, I’ve never seen a perfume where everything, absolutely everything from the marketing to the aroma, is such a disaster as this critter that was seen and not seen: a fragrance with the appearance of a late-eighties relic but the soul of a greedy fougere from MTV. And you know what? I enjoyed it like a proper bastard and without a shred of guilt, this strange and grating hybrid, this cyber/preppy bastard whose style Le Male pioneered when it tried to bring Caron Pour Homme into the nineties. Solely for fans of overpowered vanilla-lavender and cloying, overwhelming tonka-anise. Dominique Ropion, who is like a nose without a style of his own, capable of both the best and the worst, really shone here. For better or worse, I don’t know.

I bought it twice; if I’d known it was the last time because they discontinued it, I would have grabbed five bottles. It’s been so long I can barely recall the scent, just that I’d smell it and smile; it was superbly rich, vanilla, tonka, amber… that’s how I keep it in my memory, and when I saw it was gone, I pulled my hair out.

It’s a good perfume; you can tell the patchouli and bergamot, but combined with the rest, it leaves a sweet yet masculine aroma. Later, once it settles, the patchouli comes out mixed with amber and vanilla, which is truly rich. It has good longevity and trail.

Smells odd, but if you’re looking for something better crafted, with longer-lasting performance, and for a fraction of the price, Ted Lapidus Pour Lui is your man.
