Dupe Perfumes Le Male is an Eau de Parfum. Le Male opens with Bergamot, Lavender, Cardamom, and Mint, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Cinnamon, and Cumin, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Dupe Perfumes's Le Male carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A budget spin on Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Eau de Toilette - the lavender-mint-bergamot opening and sweet vanilla-tonka base capture the fougère-gourmand idea well, but the creamy, powdery blend that made the original so instantly recognisable is thinner and less polished here.

About

Dupe The Man goes straight for Le Male's signature move: a crisp lavender and mint opening over bergamot and cardamom, sharpened by a touch of artemisia, followed by a warm cinnamon and orange blossom heart lifted by a spicy trace of cumin that softens the initial freshness into something sweeter. The base leans into vanilla, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood and cedar, chasing the same comforting, slightly gourmand fougère finish that's made the original a modern menswear staple since the 1990s. The overall shape is easy to place if you know Le Male, though the blend feels less refined - the lavender-mint top stays sharper for longer, while the vanilla-tonka drydown arrives leaner and clears sooner than the original's soft, powdery, long-wearing base. It's a solid everyday option for the aromatic-fougère mood without chasing the exact polish of the real thing.
