Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Male
Irresistibly cozy and seductive, Le Male remains an icon for its creamy lavender-vanilla blend. It’s bold, warm and sweet, with a magnetic projection that defines classic masculine sensuality.
Statement
Our Verdict - Naples
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male (1995) - lavender, cinnamon and vanilla translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
