Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Couple is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013.

This flanker sparks a lot of debate: is it an exact clone of the original Le Male, or a more intense, longer-lasting version? The community's split, but if you're a fan of strong, classic Le Male vibes, this one's for you.

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.

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.

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

About

Le Male Couple bursts open with an aromatic freshness of lavender, sharp mint, and a cardamom-bergamot zing. As it settles, a warm, spicy core of caraway, orange blossom, and cinnamon emerges, building towards a rich and creamy base. The dry down is a comforting embrace of sandalwood, cedar, amber, tonka bean, and a prominent, sweet vanilla.
