Divain Le Male is an Eau de Parfum. Le Male opens with Lavender and Mint, settles into a heart of Caraway, Orange Blossom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Divain's Le Male carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This is Divain's version of Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male, one of the best-known mint-lavender-vanilla masculines of the last three decades. The mint-lavender opening and vanilla-tonka base capture the signature sweet-fresh contrast well, but the dupe's mint fades faster and the vanilla base is less creamy than the original's famously plush finish.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

This dupe opens with an explosive burst of fresh mint and aromatic lavender, sharpened by green artemisia and herbal cardamom. As the fragrance settles, a spicy and magnetic heart emerges, blending the warmth of cinnamon with the softness of orange blossom and caraway. The final stages reveal a creamy, comforting trail where sweet vanilla and tonka bean meet the earthy strength of sandalwood, amber and cedarwood. It is a recognisable, if less plush, take on Le Male's iconic sweet-aromatic signature, suited to a formal dinner or a night on the town, though the vanilla-tonka drydown doesn't quite reach the original's dense, gourmand richness. High intensity, good longevity.
