The review
Le Male scores 6.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Le Male.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Male's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 83% less than Le Male.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male is mint, lavender and cardamom at first, cinnamon, cumin and orange blossom at its heart and vanilla, tonka and sandalwood at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- mint
- lavender
- cardamom
Heart
- cinnamon
- cumin
- orange blossom
Base
- vanilla
- tonka
- sandalwood
For the warm-blooded classic. Cool mint and lavender settle into creamy vanilla and tonka — a barbershop icon in a sailor's stripes.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
