This is an absolutely wonderful scent, that builds on the classic fragrance of Herrera for Men. If you already own the original Herrera for Men, you may find this fragrance a bit redundant since it's extremely similar to the original. I find it thoroughly enjoyable though since it's one of the first vetiver fragrances that is very modern (unlike Guerlain's Vetiver, which although extremely wonderful, smells dated and a bit old). If you love the original Herrera for Men, and need to buy some more, I'd give this one a try.

Sweet, sexy, and extremely evocative. This is one of the only colognes that actually has a powerful affect on other people when I wear it. Just the other day, I had a lady at work remark that I smelled so good she wanted me to sit next to her the whole day just so she could continue to smell this. Sadly, I'm finding that most stores aren't carrying it anymore.

JPG's Le Male is a soft, sweet & spicy fragrance that opens with a myriad of notes that evokes a somewhat casual youthfulness. It amazing, but if the color of blue of the bottle actually had a "smell", I think it would smell exactly like Le Male. I can see how others would find some scents in the drydown resembling some chemical tang, but for me it's a gorgeous scent with an amazing staying power. This is truly one of my signature scents that receives constant compliments, even after all these years on the market.

I agree with a previous reviewer's comment that this is not a "modern" fragrance and should be judged in that context. This is an extremely masculine fragrance that has a strong, spicy, and earthy base that remains potent for hours and hours. It's such a unique scent, that I save it for special evenings out on the town. One thing to keep in mind, I've had my bottle for a few years, and the juice seems to "sour" after a few years.
