New Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Flask

What do you guys think? I personally will not be purchasing this because A)I have two bottles of Le Male that are a combined 180% full and B)I think the bottle of the male torso is a unique masterpiece that adds to the experience of being a Le Male fan.

I do think the flask looks kinda cool though! Maybe if I didnt have two bottles already and if I hadnt spent so much money on frags recently, I might get it for collection purposes

Really don't see the point. If it's a 20ml travel bottle then probably yes, but what's the point if it's another 125ml flask?

Agree that the torso bottle is unique! People notice straight away it's JPG!

I Loved the new one, but the scuba diver still my favorite

The packaging is an improvement - the contents are still wretched.

This is a big step down for Le Male IMO.

If you have the original release, money can be better spent on other scents IMO.

Not to nit pick, but saying that your bottles are a combined 180% makes no sense. If one bottle is 100% and the other is 80%, then the combined percentage is 90%. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine. Back on topic, I see no reason to get the flask as the traditional bottle is very unique and this new flask is very generic.

I rather like the male figure bottle. Though the flask is nice. I already have a near full Le Male and last week bought Le Male Terrible which I happen to prefer. Terrible is very toned down and not with a super nose tingling opening. Very smooth and just calmer.

Hope to a better one. Sometime ago I read something telling Le Male has substances that cause lungs damage.

JPG's male torso is a copy of the original Shocking by Schiapareli - http://www.basenotes.net/ID10213024.html. I find it quite off putting.

Interesting. But JPG Classique has wonderful bottles.

Interesting! Still looking to get a used bottle of Le Male cheap on eBay. I also used to hate this scent but it one day grew on me while testing it at Macy's.

The flask actually looks kinda cool. I wonder why the huge revamp? The torso never bothered me, and I find it to be unique.

I'm digging the flask. I'd prefer to have that over the torso bottle.

It does smell nice. I think a few people on BN don't give it a chance because of it's apparent ubiquitousness.

You never know when you might need 125ml of Le Male. I still haven't tried Terrible.

A worse bottle design containing the same bad juice.

I have to agree. I rather have the flask than the torso. There is nothing wrong with the torso design, but I just think this design is much better.

I was never a fan of the torso bottle of Le Male.. It's much more likely I'd pick this up as the torso was almost a deterrent for me buying Le Male... Plus every single one of my friends wore the stuff... No one wears it anymore though and I [B]love[B] flasks in general! I think this is pretty cool compared to A*Men going with a "Gold" metal case for the Olympics.
