Le Male

La Rive

Cabana

80%accuracy

Brings cinammon, eucalyptus and cloves to the mix and skips mint, cinnamon and tonka bean from the original. Voters say it fades sooner on skin. It sits closer to the skin than the original.

Maison Alhambra

Glacial Le Noir

79%accuracy

The clone performs admirably in the opening and heart, but the base is noticeably lighter with reduced longevity and less aromatic complexity. Sillage is also slightly subdued compared to Le Male's more assertive projection.

Lattafa

The Kingdom for Men

79%accuracy

The clone simplifies Le Male's middle notes and loses some of the herbal-spicy complexity, resulting in a slightly more linear and less sophisticated scent development. Longevity appears reduced by 1-2 hours compared to the original.

Armaf

Magnificent

78%accuracy

Magnificent performs admirably in the opening and mid-stage but exhibits noticeably shorter longevity and reduced sillage compared to the original. The base feels slightly more linear and less refined, missing some of the woody-herbal depth that makes Le Male memorable on skin.

Fragrance World

Urban Man Elixir

78%accuracy

The clone omits cardamom and cedar from its structure, resulting in a simpler, less layered scent profile. Longevity is significantly reduced compared to the original's impressive performance.

Paris Corner

Virillis

78%accuracy

Virillis has shorter longevity (typically 4-5 hours vs Le Male's 6-8 hours) and slightly less prominent sillage. The base is marginally less complex, missing some of Cedar's woody depth that adds sophistication to the original.

Fragrance World

Posh Omega

78%accuracy

The clone delivers comparable longevity and sillage but lacks the subtle cedar and herbal artemisia notes that give Le Male its sophisticated depth. Posh Omega reads slightly sweeter and less refined, making it a solid budget alternative but not an exact dupe.

Maison Alhambra

Glacier Le Noir

78%accuracy

Glacier Le Noir delivers ~80% of Le Male's character at a fraction of the cost, but with marginally thinner base notes and shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs 7-8 hours on Le Male). The opening freshness is nearly identical, but the fragrance lacks some of the sophisticated woody depth that makes the original distinctive.

Cuba

Gold by Cuba for Men

78%accuracy

The clone is missing caraway's distinctive herbal-spicy character and has a simpler aromatic profile overall. Gold by Cuba also typically exhibits shorter longevity and reduced sillage compared to the original's excellent projection.

Armaf

Magnificent Blue

76%accuracy

The original's layered aromatic complexity and cedar-forward base are somewhat simplified in the clone, which leans slightly sweeter and less sophisticated in the mid-development. Longevity and projection are also marginally reduced in Magnificent Blue compared to the original.

Maison Alhambra

Glacier Pour Homme

76%accuracy

Missing the prominent caraway and artemisia notes that give Le Male its unique character; Glacier Pour Homme presents a flatter scent progression with reduced longevity and projection compared to the original.

Khadlaj

La Fede Intoxicate Blue Elixir

75%accuracy

The clone simplifies Le Male's intricate spice accord and provides noticeably less projection and longevity. While it maintains the general DNA of the original, it lacks the sophisticated caraway prominence and cedar clarity that distinguish the authentic fragrance.

La Ree Fragrances

The Man Parfum

75%accuracy

The clone simplifies the aromatic herbal elements and offers noticeably shorter longevity (3-4 hours vs 6+ hours). While the core vanilla-amber-sandalwood DNA is present, the clone feels somewhat more linear and less balanced in its spice-sweetness interplay.

Fragrance World

Essecia La Homme Le Parfum

72%accuracy

The clone slightly undershoots longevity and sillage compared to the original, and misses some of the artemisia's herbal nuance in the middle notes. Overall composition is simplified but serviceable for those seeking a budget-friendly alternative.

Dua

Error 404 Elixir

82%accuracy

The clone leans slightly heavier on vanilla and tonka sweetness in the base, whereas the original maintains better balance with its sandalwood and cedar structure. Performance longevity is respectable but typically trails the original by 1-2 hours depending on application and skin chemistry.

Dua

Error 404 Attar

78%accuracy

The clone simplifies the middle notes by omitting artemisia, resulting in a less layered spice progression. Additionally, Le Male's cedar note adds a subtle woody drydown that Error 404 Attar doesn't fully replicate, making the original slightly more complex in the base.

Dua

Error 404: Lover

78%accuracy

The clone achieves reasonable scent similarity but with slightly reduced longevity and sillage; the base lacks the full complexity of the designer's wood and amber layers, making it feel more linear and less refined in the dry-down.
