The review

Le Male scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Le Male.

The Dupe Spot 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.

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

At $36 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Le Male — the 3rd cheapest of 9 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.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dupe Spot 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. The Dupe Spot 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.
