Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du Mâle is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Francis Kurkdjian.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Fleur du Mâle carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive yet legendary, Fleur du Mâle is a floral powerhouse for men who dare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent, often praised as a masterpiece but equally slammed as 'toilet cleaner'.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Fleur du Mâle kicks off with a bright, green burst of petitgrain, quickly mellowing into a lush, aromatic heart of neroli and orange blossom. As it settles, herbal notes of basil and chamomile emerge, providing a sophisticated, slightly powdery and clean freshness, balanced by an intriguing underlying warmth that some find animalic.
