Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Collector Edition 2018 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018. Le Male Collector Edition 2018 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. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Collector Edition 2018 carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

If the classic doesn't quite hit the spot, this is a fresher, less powdery take with a prominent lavender kick. It's a nice one-off, but if you already own Le Male, you probably don't need this slightly crisper version.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its sweetness and warmth position it perfectly for romantic evenings and casual wear. While not strictly a formal scent, the sophisticated amber and vanilla can pass muster. It's a bit too much for the office and definitely not for sport.

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.

About

Opens with a refreshing blast of bergamot and mint, quickly joined by an aromatic, slightly spicy blend of lavender and cardamom. As it develops, the warm cinnamon and orange blossom emerge, leading to a smooth, sweet dry down dominated by creamy vanilla and tonka bean, supported by rich amber and woods. It's Got that signature JPG sweetness, but dialled back a touch.
