Received a sample of this one on the mail yesterday, so today I went for it. It’s my first time trying this Luna Rossa Carbon and I like it. It’s a very versatile fragrance, it has a good projection the first 2 hours, but past the 4 hours me & my wife can still smell it. On clothes it lasts longer but I’m looking forward to see how it keeps projecting and its performance.

Takes me back to a better time, I imagine this is what the mens fragrance counter at Macys, Dillards, Boscovs, etc would’ve smelled like from 1990-1995. This is clean, fresh and simple. It just works. I like Obsession but this might be my favorite from Calvin Klein. A classic and at a cheap price can be an add to any collection. I think works all seasons, maybe would go lighter in extreme heat.

Another favourite of mine from the Le Male line,While the original Le Male from 1995 was the loud, minty king of the 90s nightlife, Le Parfum is its more sophisticated, grown-upolder brother Released in 2020, the fragrance was composed by two of the industry’s most acclaimed talents. Quentin Bisch needs no introduction, known for creating massive hits like 1 Million Royal. While Natalie Gracia-Cetto, was the nose behind Burberry Hero & Tom Ford Sole di Positano. Its an Amber Woody/Oriental fragrance. It shifts away from the sharp, metallic freshness of the original toward a smoother, creamier, more resinous vibe. With a top note of Cardamom you get a warm, spicy, slightly sweet opening. It lacks the coldmint blast of the original, which is so much better. At its heart a beautiful combination of Heart Iris & Lavender. The iris adds a silky, powdery texture, it's not lipstick heavy like Dior Homme, but very refined, while the lavender maintains the DNA of the original. With a base of Vanilla, Oriental Notes & Woody Notes The dry down is outdtanding. It's a rich, creamy vanilla supported by dark woods that feel masculine and cozy. Performance is real good, it's sticks to my skin for about seven hours and even longer of clothes. It doesn't scream like Ultra Male, but it creates a scent bubble around you that is definitely noticeable within arm’s length. Best kept for the Autumn/winter seasons were it will shine best. It's perfect for evening wear. If you find the original Le Male too dated or Ultra Male too sweet and clubby, Le Male Le Parfum is the perfect middle ground. My Rating: 7.5/10 Scent:2.5 Longevity:2 Sillage:2 Y/N:1

At some point this afternoon I reached level 9, and I just wanted to thank everyone who makes this board a fun and educational place to hang out! I have learned so much, and have received so much inspiration, over the last 15 months, from all of you. Sometimes a literary masterpiece from @Renato Carotti is just what I'm looking for, and other times a two-liner SOTD from @Adeel Arif makes the bells go off in my head lol. I appreciate the experienced viewpoints, as well as the epiphanies being shared by those of us newer to the game. Thank you to the guys I DM with, to the guys that I've connected with, and to those I've yet to meet. Onward and upward brothers!
