Ok,I need to clear something up. It is not true that this came first. It is listed as coming out in like,79 but it is not true. It's marketing. They basically had like a fragrance under that name but it was not anything like that at all. Similar to how Perry Ellis has several self-titled" Perry Ellis" fragrances that are all different. I believe they posted the date on sites to confuse people and help marketing. In other words they did not have a le male smelling version of Cuba gold in 79. They may have had a fragrance called cuba gold at that time but it did not smell like le male. Some have speculated that they didn't even have anything out at all and it was just posted for marketing purposes. I read a few articles on this and saw a couple videos addressing this. And as a few of those sources have pointed out many ingredients in this fragrance weren't even around at that time and they did no fragrances of this style during that period of time anyway. But for some reason people think le male copied Cuba gold or that Cuba had a Fragrance with that exact smell in the 70s. Unfortunately it's not true it's just hype and misinformation. Both are decent fragrances by the way

It probably would be more expensive to have two separate formulations than to just put the same fragrence in two different bottles. They manufacturing costs of these types of fragrences are extremely low, and there really isn't much financial incentive to "water down" a formulation. If your two bottles are made in different locations, that could be the reason for the difference, although I don't notice any.

Le Male has been reformulated so many times that now it's basically Cuba Gold plus synthetic mint. As someone who owned Le Male I find it a bad purchase as long as Cuba is here.

I'm thinking of adding this to my rotation... Me, I like fragrances but I don't make it the center of my life... me I like to have two or three that I rotate and currently I only have two Versace blue Jean and Aspen by coty... And this this would round out these two... I also have two others that are more of a body spray type of stuff that I really do like and I use when I'm really tight on money, brovo Sierra Citrus and Cedarwood and Victory by Tapout.... Cedarwood one is for when I'm out camping I don't want to smell good it's in a wildlife to the point where they try to eat me😂... and the Victory one from Tapout is just a cheapy body spray but I really love the scent but it only lasts about an hour.... and I do have one I buy once in a blue moon which is diesel for life, but as you can tell I don't really spend more than 20 ish dollars on sprays, so this is one I only ware here and there just for the Nostalgia..... But if there was one question I could ask somebody in your position where you have some knowledge about fragrances, it would be, what is the closest thing to the Tapout Victory body spray that's not going to cost me an arm and a leg..

Good review. My only problem with this cologne is the lack of the lack of performance, projection, and the scent is a little too feminine for my liking (if it’s on your clothes and not your skin when it’s on your skin I feel like it smells like birch beer soda). Smells great (if you don’t mind it not being as masculine) but people need to be relatively close to smell it. Overall for price can’t go wrong but not something I personally would wear everyday. Maybe better as a backup or car cologne

Cuba Gold is a solid frag. The whole clone topic aside, it's a great one to keep in the gym bag, car, or at your desk at work as a "just in case". I get a baby powder vibe from it and while I typically find that off putting (looking at you Burberry Touch 👎🏼) I actually enjoy this one. I'd be hard pressed to find another frag at the $7 range that smells just as nice. Great video Sean.

I bought this a couple days ago, and have tested it out a few times. The opening note is very clean. But as soon as it drys down, I couldn’t help but think it smelled like piss on my skin. Ultimately I have come to agree with another comment in here, this smells like a cheap household cleaner. I should’ve learned my lesson from purchasing Cuba prestige black. But I heard good reviews on this one so I gave it a shot, and really wanted to like it. Ironically I think it was worth the investment, because I now know what cheap smells like. And I do like the tacky bottles to add to my collection. If Le Male smells anything like this, it will be a hard pass as well, because this is impressively bad.

I tried to see what people liked about it and all i smell is just plastic house cleaning air freshener scent to it. Better of saving a couple more bucks for some lattafa fragrance. $20 would get u a long lasting cologne that smells amazing. But thats just my 2 cent.
