“Cuba Gold- OG Le Male”
reddit post ↗“Cuba Gold is such a banger for 9 euro's. Perfzct for everyday and doesn't offend anyone. Reminds me of JPG le male.”
reddit post ↗“Cuba Paris - Gold (~8 USD, lasts over 6 hours on me); is what inspired Le Male, not the otherway around”
reddit post ↗“Cuba Gold - EdT with a very funny bottle that is very similar to Le Male (and there are some claims it might not be a clone since it might predate that one) 100ml for like 7 EUR”
reddit post ↗“If you buy Le Male you're basically paying for an overpriced clone which I find hilarious (since they're like 1:1, lol)”

“smelled JPG le male EDT and this smells exactly the same. If anything glacier is more mintier. Had a laundry detergent / fresh smell with the mint. It’s not my type of fragrance but if anyone is looking for a dupe of le make this is definit”
reddit post ↗“Glacier Pour Homme (Clone of JPG Le Male EDT) smells alot closer to the original formulation from the 90s or atleast the one i got. Extremely close to the scent profile”
reddit post ↗“It's very similar to JPG Le Male EDT, clean masculine smell”
reddit ↗“Maison Alahambra Glacier Pour Homme which is a great long lasting clone of the original JPG Le Male”
reddit ↗“Glacier from Maison Alhambra is a great clone of the modern version of Le Male, and I actually feel that the projection is even better”

“Huge fan of the OG Le Male but my bottle of Pour Homme was too minty smelling - reminds me of a bathroom cleaner. Projected like a beast but didn't like the smell.”
reddit ↗“The two clones I've tried of this left me disappointed (Glacier Pour Homme and Cuba Gold).”
reddit ↗“Yeah, I tried Glacier Pour Homme… too strong on the mint… smells like a urinal cake unfortunately…”
