John Gustav Homme Le Parfum
“Le Male Le Parfum's dressed-up warmth, for the nights you actually iron the shirt.”
Fragrance World's 2022 John Gustav Homme Le Parfum is often compared to Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Le Parfum (2020): lavender and cardamom open over iris, settling on vanilla. Warm spice, vanilla and aromatic accords lead, with a powdery iris facet. The cardamom adds a bright lift. A winter and fall evening scent.
The take

- ●Le Male Le Parfum's lavender-cardamom-vanilla mood at budget money
- ●Iris and cinnamon add depth beyond a simple sweet lavender
- ●Dressed-up enough for cold-weather evenings
Trade-offs
