I don't find it that similar but would put it in the same group as Le Male, along with Pi, Cuba Gold, Lolita L AM, Altamir, etc.
Thread: Body Kouros smells like Le Male? |
I just recently bought a 50 ml bottle of Body Kouros (blind buy) and tested it for the first time yesterday. Needless to say, it smells exactly like Le Male.Does anyone else get Le Male from this?
I guess I'll have to keep testing it and see how I go, but for now, that's what I get out of it.

not at all.... IMHO, these are 2 different scents.
Nope. Not at all.
It took me a while to get the incense and eucalyptus in BK but that burnt toffee accord always put it well above the dirty vanilla of Le Male.
Maybe they share some similarities in the base but other than that they are nothing alike.
Body Kouros is, in my opinion, the better of the two.
Doesn't smell like Le Male to me.
Blind bought that BK too (why oh why). Haven't tried Le Male yet.
Le Male was famous/infamous as a "spin-off" from Joop Homme (the classic one by M. Almairac, 1989).
Honestly, I can smell a lot of similarities....
Negative.
Not to me.
I think the dry down is similar
To my nose BK and Le Male share 0 similarities.
Saying that BK smells exactly like Le Male is like saying that Aqua di Gio smells exactly the same as YSL M7.
IMO.
Yeah, I'd recommend checking again. BK is creamy eucalyptus, incense and benzoin resin, while LM is powdery mint, lavender and vanilla. Perhaps the timbre, for want of a better term, of creamy and powdery are in the same ballpark, and eucalyptus and mint might be 2nd cousins, but that's about as far as I'd go in the similarity department.
Please check out the bottles and samples in my swap list.
To me they have just very far similarities in their vanilla of dry down if any.
BK is much much more delicate to me and I like it as I don't like Le Male.
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit
Nop, no similarity. Is the bottle you received blue or black![]()
Body Kouros and Le Male share style but do not smell the same way.
Not similar except for vanilla in both their drydowns.
