Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male In Blue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Nathalie Gracia-Cetto. Le Male In Blue opens with Lavender, settles into a heart of Anise, and dries down to a base of Benzoin. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male In Blue carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive bit of business. Some reckon it's a solid, fresh take on the Le Male DNA with a zingy anise twist, while others absolutely detest that liquorice note, calling it an ungodly mess. Worth testing before you commit, as you'll either love it or think it's utterly dreadful.

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:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

With good performance but not beast-mode projection, this is versatile enough for casual and date wear without being overwhelming. Its distinctive spicy anise might be a bit much for formal settings, and its warmth doesn't lend itself to sport.

About

Le Male In Blue kicks off with a fresh, aromatic burst of lavender, lending a clean and slightly herbaceous opening. Soon after, a prominent anise note emerges, giving it a distinctive, spicy-sweet liquorice character that carries through. As it settles, a warm and creamy benzoin develops, bringing a smooth amber-like sweetness to the base, balancing the sharper notes without becoming overly saccharine.
