Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Le Male Le Parfum lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Le Male Le Parfum.

Pearl Fragrance sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Male Le Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $38 per 100ml it costs 80% less than Le Male Le Parfum — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: cardamom and bergamot up top, lavender and iris in the middle, vanilla, benzoin and woody notes underneath — the shape of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum.

Top

  • cardamom
  • bergamot

Heart

  • lavender
  • iris

Base

  • vanilla

Cardamom and lavender folded into thick vanilla benzoin, sweet and hugely projecting.
