Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Male EDT
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - JPG160 Le Male EDP
Le Male's lavender-vanilla contrast is one of the most recognisable formulas in modern menswear, and JPG160 replicates it closely - the sweet vanilla base comes through a little louder here than Gaultier's more balanced original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Le Male

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

The rich vanilla, amber, and spicy notes make this ideal for cooler weather in fall and winter, while its aromatic freshness and minty opening allow for use in spring. Summer wear is possible at night but can be cloying in high heat.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

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.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual Formal

A versatile evening-leaning scent, equally at home on a date night or a casual night out.
