Jean Paul Gaultier "Le Male" In The Navy EDT Intense 125ml

Jean‑Paul Gaultier Le Male – the scent that turned a fragrance‑industry cliché on its head

When the French couturier Jean‑Paul Gaultier launched Le Male in 1995, he did more than add another fragrance to his eclectic portfolio—he rewrote the rules of masculine perfumery. Housed in a sleek, silver‑toned torso‑shaped bottle that nods to his iconic “Man‑Tailor” silhouette, the flacon itself became a cultural reference point, instantly recognizable on any vanity. Yet it is the olfactory composition inside that truly set Le Male apart.

At first spray, the fragrance announces itself with a bold, almost gourmand opening of lavender and mint, a crisp, aromatic duo that feels simultaneously fresh and provocatively sweet. This bright top quickly yields to a heart built on cinnamon, carnation, and a whisper of orange blossom, giving the perfume an unmistakable warmth and a touch of spice that feels more like a daring flirtation than a traditional masculine woodiness. The dry‑down settles into a deep, sensual base of vanilla, amber, tonka bean, and sandalwood, creating a creamy, slightly sweet foundation that lingers on the skin like a comforting embrace.

I was so impressed with this fragrance, the bottle is stunning and its got that warm vanilla backbone to it!

I fully recommend this perfume to any gent who loves to smell expensive & Chic!
