Which Should You Buy?
Irresistibly cozy and seductive, Le Male remains an icon for its creamy lavender-vanilla blend. It’s bold, warm and sweet, with a magnetic projection that defines classic masculine sensuality.
Clean Shaven's La Male dupe echoes the sweet lavender-vanilla signature of Jean Paul Gaultier's iconic 1995 Le Male but comes across softer and less spiced than the sailor-bottle original.

Its bold sweetness and projection suit dating and nights out, while the sensual vanilla and lavender core make it approachable for casual and some semi-formal settings. Too strong and sweet for office or sport.
