Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1995, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Le Male opens with Bergamot, Lavender, Cardamom, and Mint, settles into a heart of Caraway, Orange Blossom, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Irresistibly cozy and seductive, Le Male remains an icon for its creamy lavender-vanilla blend. It’s bold, warm and sweet, with a magnetic projection that defines classic masculine sensuality.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

The rich vanilla, amber, and spicy notes make this ideal for cooler weather in fall and winter, while its aromatic freshness and minty opening allow for use in spring. Summer wear is possible at night but can be cloying in high heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its bold sweetness and projection suit dating and nights out, while the sensual vanilla and lavender core make it approachable for casual and some semi-formal settings. Too strong and sweet for office or sport.

About

Le Male Eau de Toilette opens with a rush of fresh mint and aromatic lavender, laced with spicy cardamom and bergamot for a brisk, invigorating start. The heart reveals a swirl of cinnamon and orange blossom, adding warmth and a subtle, powdery sweetness. As it settles, rich vanilla and tonka bean take center stage, blended with creamy sandalwood and amber for a sensually enveloping base. The result is a bold yet comforting fragrance, balancing playful freshness with deep, inviting warmth.
