I love this Amber Fougere, an intensified evolution of the original Le Male. It was released in 2015,to celebrate the 20th anniversary of it's predessesor. I'm not a fan of this guy considering what he did with the eau forte version of Sauvage, but gotta give credit, Francis Kurkdjian played a blinder with this one. While its predecessor was a versatile, aromatic barbershop staple, Ultra Male was intentionally designed to be bolder, sweeter more hedonistic. As with the entire line it comes in that unmistakable torso bottle. signaling a shift toward a more nocturnal and aggressive scent profile. The scent’s composition is a playful contrast of notes, evolving through three distinct stages of sweetness & spice. It opens with a bubblegum burst, led by a heavy, juicy pear note &zesty bergamot, which is balanced by a cool, refreshing touch of mint and a black lavender that feels darker than the traditional floral variety. As the fragrance transitions into the heart, the fruity brightness subsides to reveal a warm, spicy core of cinnamon, clary sage & caraway for a slightly carnal, aromatic depth. The dry down is where Ultra Male truly settles into its famous identity, dominated by a rich, creamy black vanilla husk, anchored with amber, cedar & just a hint of patchouli, creating a dense, sugary-woody trail. Ultra Male is a good performer for an edt, I get an easy yhrs on skin, can still get a hint of it the following day of my clothes.The projection is very strong, especially for the first 2 hours. It creates a noticeable scent bubble. Excellent for Fall/Winter due to its warmth, spice, and intensity. A solid night wear, would work in the club or any social event. It seems to be marketed towards the younger audience, but dont let that put you off. I'm almost 50 and still enjoy the entire line. My Rating: 7.5/10 Scent:2.5 Longevity:2 Sillage:2 Y/N:1

#sotd... Perfect by Fragrance Story... This opens with a sharp burst of citrus and spice with a moderate projection at first. It smoothly transition to a creamy floral scent while still remaining more masculine. The dry down goes deep into a woodsy feel while settling down into a more intimate skin scent. I went about 7 hours before refreshing. At that time, I could still smell Perfect on me. Mainly a skin scent at this point. I give this a 8.5 out of 10
