The review
On paper, Bad Man is an outside bet if you want Le Male for less.
Scentual Obsessions lists 7 of the 9 notes in Le Male's pyramid — mint, lavender, cardamom, cinnamon and orange blossom and more. What it does not list: cumin and tonka; and it adds bergamot, artemisia and caraway of its own.
It is $133 per 100ml.
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 Scentual Obsessions 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
The original opens on mint, lavender and cardamom, turns to cinnamon, cumin and orange blossom, and settles into vanilla, tonka and sandalwood. That is the brief Bad Man is working from.
Top
- mint
- lavender
- cardamom
Heart

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.
