    What do reviewers say about Ultra Male and Pure XS?

    It's sweet. Unapologetically. But the lavender keeps it from being just another vanilla bomb, it gives the sweetness some backbone, some edge. If Le Male was a suggestion, Ultra Male is the statement.Ultra Male
    The vanilla-liquor-cinnamon trio is bold, the leather is the counterweight, and together they build something that smells like excess distilled into a bottle. Pure XS doesn't whisper.Pure XS
