Men's Fragrance Review 2 - Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male, Paco Rabanne 1 Million and Eau De Lacoste Blanc



Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male 



This has been one of my favourite fragrances for a long time. It's fresh yet masculine notes really make the fragrance wearable day and night. The scent has great longevity on the skin and develops throughout the day. At around £30 for the 75ml bottle I believe this is great value for the impact made when wearing.

Fragrance- 9/10
Longevity- 8/10
Sillage- 7/10
Price - 10/10
Overall- 9/10
Perfect for- All ages, day and night wear


Paco Rabanne 1 Million 



This fragrance has a very bold and powerful scent when first applied but mellows out to a deep masculine scent. Probably best suited to evening usage but could be worn sparingly in a professional environment. This scent has fantastic longevity and will get you a lot of comments. A little more pricey at around £50 for the 100ml bottle but will last a long time.  

Fragrance- 8/10
Longevity- 9/10
Sillage- 9/10
Price - 8/10
Overall- 8.5/10
Perfect for- Party goers, night wear
Lacoste Blanc 



Another very fresh masculine scent, that comes across very stylish in the same way as Le Male but with a very different style of scent. Longevity is very good and the scent is still noticeable at the end of a long day. Perfect for younger men eager to impress. With a price tag of around £47 for a 100ml bottle a little expensive but an astounding fragrance. 

Fragrance- 8/10
Longevity- 8/10
Sillage- 7/10
Price - 8/10
Overall- 8/10
Perfect for- Younger ages, day and night wear

As I said, Le Male is my signature fragrance and the bottle I go to grab most mornings, but both the Paco Rabanne and Lacoste fragrances allow me to chop and change fragrances from time to time and pack a great punch.

Exam Stress


For anyone still in eduction or anyone facing a big moment, you will understand that Christmas or any holiday celebrated at the end of the year is always tainted by the dread of looming exams in January. This will only be a short post as I myself am currently/should be revising for exams.

I am an anxious sort at the best of times, so being under stress makes me a quivering wreck. I want to write and tell anyone reading this that stressing does not help at all, and even though doing well in something feels amazing and not achieving what you wanted feels devastating, it is not the be all and end all. Life goes on and better things are sure to come your way! So head up and lets get through this!
