Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Male is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Le Beau Male opens with Mint and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Lavender, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Beau Male carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This one is a proper head-scratcher. It's a polarising perfume, with some hailing its fresh, minty punch and others running for the hills from its 'pissy' or 'barnyard' undertones. Performance is a common complaint, so don't expect it to last for much more than a few hours.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, aromatic nature leans towards casual wear, particularly in warmer weather. While some find it suitable for the office due to its eventual skin-scent performance, its divisive opening and poor longevity make it less ideal for formal or date settings where sustained presence is desired. It performs well as a quick summer pick-me-up or for sport.

About

Le Beau Male opens with a sharp, cooling hit of mint and wormwood, delivering an invigorating aromatic and green freshness. As it settles, a blend of lavender, orange blossom, and sage emerge, adding a clean, slightly floral and herbal nuance. The dry-down is anchored by a soft, musky base, leaving a lingering, albeit subtle, fresh trail. It’s a clean and refreshing scent at its core, but expect some unusual, earthy twists.
