Here's a short review of these new releases :

Le Male In Blue : Lavender-heavy aromatic with a twist on OG dna. Opens clean and slightly sharp with lavender + anise, giving a fresh-sweet vibe. Anise note is really really prominent. Dries down into benzoin warmth, adding a smooth, lightly sweet resinous base with a touch of the OG le male drydown. The spicyness from the og is missing but there's some woodyness and a touch of spice in the drydown

Feels like a modernized Le Male, less spicy, more aromatic-ssweet. Not a typical freshie nor is it a blue fragrance

Le Beau Narcisse : Clean + creamy + musky. Opens with bergamot, musk, white florals and a slight touch of coconut, bright and clean but not too fresh Heart is of musk and orange blossom, adding softness to it. The musk isn't too musky and isn't overpowering. Dry down is tonka, vanilla sweetness with the musk. The coconut note becomes creamier as it dries down and I can feel a slight milky accord when it dries down on skin

Really well balanced fragrance with a creamy-musky signature

One of my go-to summer fragrances. Beyond the scent itself, the bottle and packaging are premium and heavy

It opens with a bright burst of lemon and mandarin with lemon taking the lead. Since I’ve got an older batch, the opening feels smooth and less synthetic, though still quite loud with a slight fruity edge

Within an hour, the top notes settle and the woody base starts to shine. The sandalwood adds a touch of sweetness which is balanced and not overpowering while amber brings in a subtle warmth. Overall it smells clean, fresh, and uplifting

Performance is strong at the start with good projection and it easily lasts around 6-7 hours in hot summers. Longevity dips a bit in peak summer heat but would do perform way better in any other season and its versatile enough to be worn year round
