This scent for cooler spring days is letting me down towards the end, but otherwise it is overall deserving of a positive score, albeit just by the skin of its teeth. It is richer than many other scents and ignoring the end phase lacks any major thinness, wateriness or superficiality. 35

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male scent has been my signature scent for @ 25 years and I hope it NEVER goes away! I am continually and consistently told that I smell wonderful from friends, new acquaintances AND strangers. For the longest time I was going through various scents and most would cause me headaches, eyes burning and/or itching, and skin sensitivity that felt like my pores were extra oily and clogged. So, imagine my shocked surprise that this scent didn’t bother my sensitive skin and eyes AND worked so well with my body chemistry that elicited so many compliments. It’s a once in a lifetime situation that I hope never changes, or at least not until after I am passed on to my next life.
