    Those bottles are KILLING ME. Prices at Douglas are €82 for the women’s 50-mL and €72.95 for the men’s 75-mL. I haven’t liked most of the Gaultier flankers but I really want to try these.

    DYING! The “Le Male” Version seems like a very far different idea of the original… almost not even similar… I am going to have to try! The Master Kurkdjian is a hard act to follow!

    The bottles have always been nice, but facetted, oh my! One time I’d buy the empty bottle; I am usually a contents gal…

    Late post, but anyway,
    I had to call some department store in Paris to order the Prestige presentation if Le Male. A bulb atomizer with a tassel! So strange and exotic for a mens scent. totally blind purchase but I had to have it!
    I did love it when it arrived. At the time I usually fell for heavy-lidded perfumes.
    Later, when it was launched in Sweden it soon became popular with young suburban boys spraying it on like it was a body spray. I could smell them litterally from blocks away.
    So that killed it for me and the fabulous Prestige bottle leaked and the alcohol evaporated.
    It’s still a good, albeit a bit too strong, fragrance and from the notes it seems like it could be a good update. It will be interesting to see how they create the Costus note. Real Costus is banned. It smells like dirty hair with a hint of violets.
