Fleur du Male by Jean Paul Gaultier

I got this perfume as a gift. After reading the reviews on Basenotes, I didn't know whether I would like it or hate it (the chances of me being neutral about it was remote; at least that's the impression I got from the reviews). So, having received the gift, I decided to open it and smell it.

I had seen pictures of the bottle a number of times on various websites and I knew the bottle looked good. But, when I opened the white outer can and saw the bottle, I was mesmerized by the beauty of that bottle. To me, the bottle is an absolute work of art.

Now came my turn to spray it on me and smell it. I sprayed a very small amount on my wrist, and immediately could smell the orange blossom right away. As the scent of the orange blossom settled down, I could notice a distinct powdery smell. I cannot describe the smell, but I am absolutely in love with it. The longevity is definitely a plus for me as most perfumes don't last too long on my skin. All in all, I would say that FDM is a must buy for any man who wants to stay away from the humdrum fragrances and stand out in a crowd.
