I used to have AS and body spray and EdT I think. One or two deo sticks. Never balm. Scent is not bad, not bad at all, but you can do much better if you want sweet lavendery vanillas.

- 1725 Casanova by Histoire de Parfums it's EdP I think.
- Arome 3 by d'Orsay comes as AS also (I think) and I have EdT.
- Royal Scottish Lavender by Creed comes only as EdT but can be applied in small quantities on the face also.
- A Taste of Heaven by Kilian also EdT.

Any of these scents comes with predominant lavender and vanilla so they could be compared to Le Male. Le Male's advantage is in its omnipresence and many different forms, but as scents, all of the above mentioned are better IMO and are worth a try. If you'd like scents that are similar to Le Male (but better) than you could try Antico Caruso by Profumum Roma or MPH by Washington Tremlett or even Boellis Panama 1924. All are masterpieces, especially the first and the last.

With unscented or mildly scented (say almond or something like that) AS balm of your choice, these should work fine.

Definitely try Boellis Panama AS cream if you have the chance, I'm pretty sure that you wont be disappointed.
