Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male is one of the most recognisable men's fragrances ever made, a 1995 Francis Kurkdjian classic built on the contrast of cool mint and lavender over warm, sweet vanilla. Thirty years on it is still a reference point for the fresh-sweet barbershop style.
Fragrance Notes Top: Lavender, mint, cardamom, bergamot, artemisiaHeart: Cinnamon, orange blossom, carawayBase: Vanilla, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood, cedar
Notes per Fragrantica. The signature is that cool minty-lavender top melting into a creamy, sweet vanilla and tonka base, with a touch of spice in the middle. It reads clean and fresh up top but cozy and sweet underneath.
How Le Male Wears Le Male EDT is a strong performer: good projection and long wear. It is versatile across seasons but shines in fall and cooler weather and from day into night. A genuine crowd-pleaser that most people recognise and like.
Who It Is For A safe pick if you want a classic, sweet-fresh signature scent. If you like it, explore the richer flankers like Le Male Le Parfum and Le Male Elixir, or sample the whole family in the Jean Paul Gaultier discovery set.
Why Sample or Decant It Le Male has been reformulated over the years and has many flankers, so a decant lets you check the current version before buying a full bottle. We hand-decant it in 1mL, 3mL, 5mL and 10mL sizes. Explore more from the Jean Paul Gaultier house.
Please note: all of our 1mL samples come in a 2mL vial, filled halfway.
