Le Male Terrible Jean Paul Gaultier for men

In my opinion LMT is much more deeper than the LM,
WIth thIs i mElt mY gF more thAn that wheN i wore LM
ThiS OnE izFuLL Of X

Bought this today for very high price cus i was very pissed on some thing and when i am pissed i do such things to change my mood, got it for 55 euros the 75ml and i think it was a mistake as on my skin the longevity
is spotty and nothing special beside the sharp citrus note!

Yes, the opening is much more fresher than the original. But I think that;s how it loses its charm.

I love Le Male. Since original, Fleur du Male, summer editions, special editions and this one is no exception.
I want to have this scent. The only missing in my collection.
It is exceptionally good in all aspects.
Note that there are clearly some differences from the original.
For me, Le Male is a timeless scent in any of its variants.
Sets the triumphant masculinity.
LE MALE 4EVER.

Terrible smells denser than the original Le Mâle, with the pepper and vetiver making it spicier and darker. I think Terrible is stronger: a fortnight ago I bought both LM and LMT for the first time ever, and have been comparing them ever since. Smelling the spray nozzles confirms that Terrible really is more powerful than its elder brother.

Terrible reminds me a lot of Habanita in the drydown. It feels like a more refined, more sophisticated Habanita. They share the vetiver / vanilla genes. Terrible is infinitely more wearable than Habanita, that's a fact.

My belated enjoyment of LM and LMT has taught me to be less of a friggin' scent snob and stop ignoring mainstream, super-popular perfumes!

Delicious. A little bit more masculine than the original Le Male. In my skin, sillage and longevity are good but weaker than the original.
What I like the most is that it has fresh, sparkling top and middle notes and warm pepper-vanilla-lavander base.
Its so special !
There is a wonderfull note of GINGER Zingiber that is not listed!
IMHO: 10/10

Perhaps stronger and excellent blends of spicy notes I find very strong and heavy on top notes compare to the version of Le male original. good work .

I've had a sample of LMT yesterday..almost the same base notes like if someone smells it after 20 minutes on me he'll recognize it as an original Le Male..Grapefruit is really noticeable at first..then it turns into LM..thought it's sharper,younger,and more spicy..deserves a try..

longevity and silage are both very good.

Same brilliance by JPL.

Some similarity to the original Le Male but adds spice to form a great scent which lasts and projects well...

I applied 6 sprays of Extreme

0 -5 mins - Intense smell, excellent, a bit like Le Male with more, the more being impressive..

5 mins -2 Hours - Projection excellent - approx 2 foot around.

2 hours - 4 hours - Projection very good - approx 1 foot around

4-7 hours - Projects approx 6 inches. Gets a little insense twist in its drydown but still great

When my Le Male finishes then this will be purchased!

Quality

I am a big fan of the original Le Male fragrance. After the release of Fleur du Male that smells ( in my opinion) too feminine, I was little afraid of what I was ordering.
I have to say that I was "OK" with it for the first day, but it totally "grew" on me. Every time I wear it, somebody compliments on it and it stays on forever. This one is for sure one of my favorites. :)

starting with extremely nice smell, end up with terrible yuck ! still prefer the original le male

I´m not a big fan of the original JPG Le Male but all I gotta say is that this is a more wearable version of the original, its calmer and still stands tall, projection is alittle less versatile,maybe thats why I kinda prefer it... the longevity is as usual (great) otherwise I think Le fleur du Male is way better than all of them... sorry if I have broken a couple of hearts out there, I know how popular it is... I heard its the most sold Fragrance in Europe if not the world hmmm... maybe its just me who likes swimmin against the flow hehe

In any case, I consider this as a more masculine version of the original. Starts almost the same but bitter. The two perfumes are close relatives although, terrible turns to be more animalic in the base notes. You can smell the vanilla from the top notes to the base notes and, the lavender and something else which make this more masculine and animalic. I would say that this type of animalic smell is similar to the one in kouros (civet) although kouros is much stronger. in terrible, the ingredients much perfectly and and are well blended. You can also smell the grapefruit and pepper in top notes and i consider that the grapefruit lasts longer than the pepper. this is a very good fragrance and if you like the original le male, you will most probably like that one also. I prefer terrible from the original as i see it to be more manly.

Close my eyes to not see the bottle; the scent is just admirable and lovable.
It opens out sweet, yummy and chemical; overall heavy and deep but it's not annoying, it's soft. Quickly after initiating, alters to dusty, powdery and resinous dry scent just like the original one but deeper.
Don't like to open my eyes, I enjoy the smell and sniff ff ff! Opening my eyes, I just hate this, I know.Design is rookie.

TERRIBLE.. I washed my hands 5 times in 12 hrs, yet still smell LMT!!! wow it's monster silage, better than LM.

To some extent it reminds me of something Naughty,lusty, and hmmm?!!

It's 7/10, and if there was no Vanilla, it would be 10/10

This smells almost identical to the original to me, but this one stings the nose just a bit more... It's a bit harsher. But it is a nice one.

interesting fragrance not matching my body chemistry.i would rather get the model instead.

Agree with most of the review here, I found it very similar to the original, except a fresher and sharp opening with slight citrus scent. The 2nd and base note basically is the same.

What I will say this is a reduced version of the original, but a much better longevity than the summer flanker version, it last 3-4 hours on my skin, consider ok. Is nothing new at all, so 5/10 from me. If you have the original Le Male, forget the rest of the flanker.

Nice vetyver, but so much weaker than its big sister.

Sadly, this was a total waste of good money. The fragrance is similar to the iconic Le Male, but dissipates in literally 5 mins on my skin even though I doused myself in it while on holiday in the UK.

I actually had to respray myself with a totally different fragrance again before leaving the hotel room!

This is actually supposed to be an intense eau de toilette.

Le Male T. smells the same exact same way as the original , except the opening in terible insted of mint you get grapefruit. the grapefruit dissapears in the dry down and your stuck with the original le male. thats it ! the longevity on this one is shortet than the original on my skin. i get a good 10 hours with this. with the original i get a good 15 hours.

Projection:intense
longevity:10-12 hours
smell:good
Occation:casual
season:winter

This is very similar to but better than the original. The cloying mint and synthetic sweetness is gone and replaced by a very natural vanilla base. The opening is not as sweet. Grapefruit made the opening more refreshing and less sweet. 1 hour after application and Terrible smells like linden with vanilla. The sillage and longevity are as good as the original.

I love the original Le Male, so I got a sample of this, hoping for a nice variation to change it up a bit.

On first wearing, I really couldn't tell the difference to the original. The opening is strong and has that signature Le Male smell. However a few hours in and the dry down was just vanilla and not much else.

Before writing this review, I wanted to do a true comparison side by side. So tonight I put Terrible on the left wrist, original Le Male on the right. Side by side, I could definitely pick the differences.

The opening of Terrible was warmer and fresher, while the Le Male opening was darker, spicier and sharper, with the mint really standing out. On the Terrible, I never got any of the citrus that others are claiming, but soon the pepper started to come through, and the Terrible dry down was vanilla and woody pepper - the peppery note in the dry down was something I could not pick up when wearing it the first time.

My conclusion?

If you like the original Le Male, stick to the original. Terrible is like a "lesser brother". Why bother when the original has it all?

If you do not like the original Le Male, you won't like this either because of the similarities to the classic Le Male opening.

What are people talking about when they say that this is that same as Le Male?! it is very different, more of an all year scent, you could even maybe get away with this in the summer, unlike with Le Male. the openeing is totally different, there is a blast of sour grapefruit with some vanilla and then pink pepper, it then graducates to lavander, vanilla and vetyver, still retaining some of the grapefruit, it gives Le Male a fresher and more lively feel, streanght, longevity and sillage are just as good as the original Le Male, this is always my choice for daytime wear, i see this as more suited to the day, original Le Male is more suited to night wear when compared to this

To be honest was very excited about this one because i really liked the Original Le Male but this one came out really terrible like its name, it starts as exactly the same as the Original then it turns into a sweet powder smell, it stays on body like an hour then it dissappears, do yourself a favor and do not buy this perfume, i repeat do not buy this perfume, if you miss the smell of the Original go and buy the Original, it is much better and stays on your body 6 or 8 hours, Le Male terrible is a waste of money, nothing else!!!!

On my skin:

What ...the...hell....is... JPG....trying to do??

Its almost identical!! The only thing different is they add blackcurrant like scent in it.

And it changes with some grass-like scent, something spicy

And then its whole dam vanilla

What the hell is this?

One of the worse flankers I have came across

0/5 score

Bash me all you want, but this is my opinion. Seriously, the fragrance is AS terrible as it gets.

For the first time I did a short review.

it's good in that it's almost identical to the original. only the opening smells different.

I just found out that the ad campaign for this fragrance was so dirty and provocative, that they decided not to release it in the US? Really? ... AND FCUK was real Disney-like huh? Can't the ad be changed or altered to be released here? Between Unforgivable and Curious, I think we've seen it all. Then again, if this simply dries down to the same classic Le Male perhaps it should stay right where it is.

A more subtle and at the same time intense Le Male! Not as sugary sweet or aromatic, but more an intense skinscent that lasts and lasts. I do not perceive any citrusy grapefruit note in here, but just some lavender, vanilla and pink pepper with a vetyver touch. Very well-manered and sensual. Even better than Le Male. I love it and do not need the regular Le Male.

I bought a 9ml spray of Le Male Terrible at ebay and arrived yesterday. My impression is that Jean Paul Gaultier done again what he does the best, variations of the best sellers of his brand, Le Male and Classique. Le Male Terrible seems like they thought what would Le Male be in an alternative world. Is still le male, the main structure of mint, lavender and vanilla remains the same here. But altough the fragrance aura doesn't change, the finest details are different, and this one seems less sweet and minty, and more woody, spicy and slightly animalic. I couldn't detect the grapefruit opening, but the pink pepper is detectable on me and gives me a spicy, sweet, slightly fruity opening, that blends well with the mint and lavender. At the basenotes I detect a kind of vetiver that i have already smelled before on a fragrance, i think that i saw this one on le baiser du dragon edt, which is dry vetiver, but more more unidimensional, like the have focused only on the dry woody side of vetiver. The vanilla on the base balances the vetiver and this makes the fragrance less sweet without getting so woody too. I also detect something that seems like a slightly body odour musk aroma, but not a stinky one, more like a discreet body odour aroma. Some may seem this as nasty and others as sexy, and my impression is that this aroma fits well on the fragrance and gives a sexy aura. The longevity and sillage are great on this one too, i only sprayed a single spray on my arm and could still detect it after 4 hours on an intensity that was like i sprayed it that moment. And i could get constant whiffs of the aroma on me even with my arm far from my nose.
If you like le male, this is an interesting version, although i don't know if it's worth a bottle if you already have the original one. If you hate le male, terrible will probably not change your mind.

I'm a bit disappointed by this to say the least.

Sure it's a very nice scent, sure the more lemonny and peppery opening make this new Le Male a bit "sharper" than the original, but basically this feels like nothing more than a lame upgrade to the original Le Male. Nothing spectacular, nothing realy "terrible". Maybe my expectations were too high, but I'll stick to the original

If you realy want a more raw, animalistic and "terrible" interpretation of Le Male, I would suggest buying 212 Sexy instead of Le Male Terrible.

Ugly bottle, but I'll see if it's really sexy?

I adore this!! its similar to the origional le male but replaces the cool minty opening with a blast of sharp grapefriut and lemon, which get warmed up by the pink pepper, the heart and base is very much le male but stronger, spicier and much sexier, its so warm and something you just cant get enough of, this is definatley going to be the next fragrance i buy! plus you can enjoy le male with this ine without smelling like everyone else as its got a twist unlike all of the summer editions released

WOW! just sampled this today and ended up running back to buy a huge bottle.

All I can say is JPG has brought Le Male into the noughties. This is nothing short of amazing. I have always been a fan of Le Male and this is going to be one of my favourites now.

On the opening this has a massive blast of bitter citrus and pepper, along with LM's signature mint and lavender, it's what happens in the dry down is the amazing part. Gone are the floraly note in the beginning the sickly tonka note that everyone seems to complain about. They are replaced by this amazing vetiver note, this is nice and dry, when i seen this in the pryamid I thought, vanilla and vetiver hmmm this isnt going to work, but somehow they all tie in nicely.

Where the original LM was sweet and very 90's in its drydown, LMT is alot more masculine, peppery and dark.

I can see why JPG has named this the bad boy, because it's dark, broody and sexy as hell.

What a name!
It sounds more extreme, that scares me bc the original is quite extreme for me already.
But with this notes, I think it's not so extreme. So confuse!

no no no!!! the true meaning of this new edition is that the Infant terrible has gown up and became a very naughty boy. so I guess this one must be very intriguing and overwhelming. the bottle is classic and must not change i believe.
come to me! Le male Terrible! :)

again this perfume? plz make some new botles and new perfumes mr j p g
