| 01 | Le Male Le Parfum Shobi “Shobi- Now this one is undeniable. Took about a week to get where I wanted it, but man it’s like 1:1 to me. You get that spicy deep sweet warmth of the original executed perfectly. At the same time it has the airyness that LMLP has, and performs better. I will definitely be ordering a 100ml bottle of this one it really does make the OG obsolete.”what reddit says ↓ |
