    which would you personally suggest

    Jazz Club or Ombre?

    (assuming Jazz Club isnt too similar to anything i listed as already having)

    Jazz Club for sure

    Grand Soir one of the only frags I want a backup bottle of. Scared it might get reformulated

    MFK better f***ing not. I was obsessed with Jean Paul Gaultier 2 (Francis made it) in 2005 when it came out, it was all I wore. They reformulated it in like 2011 I think I and it was never the same for me

    Then when I found Grand Soir last year it was an even better JPG2 on steroids. If they change it I might cry

    Do you imagine men (and quite a few women) wearing Le Male in 100 years time?

    Francis: In 100 years time we won’t be able to reproduce the original Le Male, as the materials won’t be there any more – you just need to look at the history books with other fragrances from 100 years ago. We can produce something like it, but people won’t know what the original smelt like to be able to compare.

    Reformulations are inevitable unfortunately, especially with the new IFRA regulations perfumers have until February 2022 to reformulate all their current fragrances.

    Someone I follow on IG keeps mentioning that the MFK fragrances will be reformulated soon but IDK if true or cap

    But who knows, if the MFK fragrances get reformulated, they might still hit or get better
    Changing a formula slightly doesnt have to be for the worse.

    Thanks for sharing, this is all really interesting stuff. Sounds sarcastic but I’m being genuine

    I knew about regulatory bodies in perfumes- like in all industries with ingredients and chemicals but I didn’t think about reformulation arising from ingredients being deemed toxic above certain levels. Makes total sense.

    I work somewhere where I get 25% fragrances so could buy another bottle of Grand Soir before I leave in Jan but my first bottle’s almost full so it feels pointless. I wonder how many fragrances out there will change due to these new rules coming into effect. I’d suspect not many due to scientists working with perfumers every step of the way to ensure consumer safety. I’m sure in perfumery it’s not normal to use ingredients close to levels deemed toxic/harmful much like the food industry where the dose of sweeteners for example in diet drinks is so minimal that it’s virtually impossible to call them toxic

    Yes it’s an absolute dream, strong floral notes and lasts almost all day for me. I’m a woman though and haven’t smelt it on a guy before so if you are a guy, try it on your skin first as it’s expensive to buy. I loved Fleur Du Male by JPG and this for me feels like a more feminine version of that. So if you like that fragrance you’ll probably like this too

    Thanks I’ll look into it. Been wearing Aventus recently but I wanna try something with a floral scent. Maybe closer to spring time I’ll check it out
