A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Man Intrinsic lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Le Male Essence de Parfum.

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

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

It is $89 per 100ml.

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

What it is chasing: bergamot, cardamom and mint up top, sandalwood, lavender and cypress in the middle, Tonka Bean, vanilla and cedar underneath — the shape of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Essence de Parfum.

  • bergamot
  • cardamom
  • mint

Heart

  • sandalwood
  • lavender

Sandalwood and tonka replacing the sugar, the most grown-up Le Male.
