Citrusy and fresh with lemon peel and Granny Smith apple, highlighting lavender, though I wish the spicy notes were more intense. The base gains character with patchouli and vetiver. Average performance for an EDT, but it smells great and has elegance and maturity, perhaps lacking a bit of sensuality. I see it as ideal for men 30+; it’s a generic scent without beastly projection, but a safe bet for a gift.
Sour apple, lavender, and a mossy finish at the end, but practically it’s just sour apple with a floral touch. The projection and longevity seem terrible to me, to be honest; it doesn’t reach two hours on the skin. It’s a pity because the scent is very pleasant; it’s worth it for the price, but don’t expect great performance. From my point of view, it doesn’t have it. Still, it’s something I’ll happily use for grocery runs or short walks, especially when the sun starts to set. It’s not particularly fresh but doesn’t feel heavy for early summer; I might discard it when temperatures rise further.
Sour apple, lavender, and a mossy finish, though honestly it smells more like apple with a floral nuance. Sincerely, the projection and longevity are terrible: it doesn’t even last two hours on the skin. It’s a shame because the scent is very pleasant and worth it for the price, but don’t expect great performance. I’ll happily use it for grocery runs or short walks, especially at dusk; it’s not super fresh but doesn’t weigh you down for early summer, though I might ditch it when temperatures rise further.
I bought it blind and it just doesn’t quite convince me; I also don’t think it resembles Le Male at all, which I know very well. I prefer the base notes to the top notes. I can’t add more due to a lack of knowledge about perfumes and notes. I’m not regretting the purchase because it serves as a learning experience and it’s cheap, but that’s all.
This smells notably better than its sweaty companion. It opens with a fruity scent like green apple, quite pleasant and lasts about five minutes. This opening reminds me of the style of YSL Y Parfum. It dries down to a spice combo of poor quality that smells very chemical, yet soft and discreet. It lasts me about two to three hours with very low sillage after the first fifteen minutes, where it seemed like it would last longer. For this, better go with brands like Caravan or Refan; they’re much cheaper, better made, and perform better.
This one is notably better than its sweaty companion. It opens with a fruity scent, green apple style, quite pleasant and lasts about 5 minutes. This opening follows the style of YSL Y Parfum, just to make a comparison. It dries down to a spice combo of poor quality that smells very, very chemical, yet soft and discreet. It lasts me about 2-3 hours, with very low sillage after the first 15 minutes, where it did seem like it would last longer. For this, it’s better to go with brands like Caravan, Refan, etc.; they’re much cheaper, better made, and perform better.
Smells amazing; honestly, one of my best blind buys. It smells super fruity, like zesty green apple that turns sweet over time and gives way to patchouli; the finish has a seductive vibe reminiscent of La Nuit de YSL. I consider it very good for the price. This is going to be trendy and it will be a tragedy if YouTubers ruin it. Longevity is 7 hours and projection is 3.5 hours. Suitable for any season. WHAT A PLEASANT SURPRISE!

You know what, @Lebromca, I’m in the same boat: I went to try it and the tester was already dry, but the smell coming from the atomizer was brutal, nothing like what I know of these designers. It intrigued me, so I’m sure it’ll end up in my collection. We’ll keep you posted.
Soft and lasts quite a bit. I’ve only given it a quick try, but I’m sure it’ll find a spot in my small collection.
