Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
The Verdict
Vibe for Him is a fantastic alternative to Le Male. If you love the original but don't want to shell out the cash, this is a no-brainer. It's perfect for everyday wear – dates, work, running errands. It's versatile. Vibe for Him gets you close enough . Great for the budget-conscious fragrance lover.
Notes & Nuances
Vibe for Him opens with a blast of lavender and mint, just like Le Male. There's a definite spicy kick from the cardamom too, which is nice. It’s a pretty solid impression right off the bat, maybe 90% similar. The heart is where it veers slightly. The cinnamon is amped up, making it a touch spicier and less floral than Gaultier’s. The drydown, though, is where Vibe for Him really shines. That vanilla and tonka combo is warm and inviting, creating a sweet, comforting base. It does have a *slight* synthetic edge, especially at the beginning, but it fades quickly.
Projection Power
This isn’t a beast mode fragrance, but it holds its own. I get around 6 hours on my skin, with moderate projection for the first two. After that, it sits closer to the skin, making it a good office scent. Don't expect it to fill a room all day long. More of a personal bubble scent.
