La Male - 181 EDP

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.
No. 181 recreates Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male mint-lavender-vanilla-tonka contrast reasonably well on paper, but the fresh mint top fades faster and the vanilla base leans sweeter and simpler than the original's aromatic-fougere balance.

Seasons
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
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.
Seasons
The mint-lavender-vanilla-tonka contrast leans warm and comforting, better suited to cooler months than high summer heat.
Occasions
A versatile, classic aromatic-sweet fragrance that works for both everyday wear and evening occasions.
