Pros & Cons
- ✅ It's a peppery, almost barbershop scent that becomes a pleasant scent I would definitely grab before the original Le Male.
- ✅ Le Male Terrible is a quiet banger, perfect for daily use, with amazing longevity of about 8 hours.
- ✅ The added citrus notes bring it to life; it's a fresh, versatile fragrance perfect for year‑round wear.
- ❌ It smells repulsive and salty/metallic at first, making it one of the worst scents I've encountered.
- ❌ The vanilla is poorly balanced against pepper and wet vetiver; it just smells weird.
- ❌ Projection is weak and longevity short on skin; it becomes a skin scent quickly.
