Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
At first, it’s very similar to Le Male by J.P. Gaultier, but later it evolves quite a bit to resemble Carolina Herrera’s 212 VIP.
You can definitely smell Le Male by J.P. Gaultier at first, but it evolves quite a bit to resemble Carolina Herrera’s 212 VIP later on.
Smells like a bright, spicy amber with cinnamon and a citrus note that stands out when you first spray it, then fades slightly but doesn’t disappear completely as it dries down. It’s an excellent scent, very similar to Meharées to me, just a bit more synthetic. The longevity is great and the projection is moderate. I think it’s perfect for cool weather, but it works in summer too. The quality-to-price ratio is top-notch.
The cologne that dictator Leonidas Trujillo used to wear.
