Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Lover is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Quentin Bisch. Le Male Lover opens with Lime and Pepper, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Musk, and Ambergris, and dries down to a base of Woody and Vanilla. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Lover carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it. Some hail it as JPG's best flanker, a perfect balance of fresh and sweet, while others dismiss it as generic and overly sweet. Expect strong performance but perhaps not a groundbreaking scent that will please everyone.

About

Le Male Lover opens with a bold hit of white pepper and a zesty finger lime, cutting through to a heart of marine notes, musk, and a subtle ambergris. The base settles into a smooth vanilla and warm woods. Some detect a creamy coconut or pina colada vibe, adding a tropical twist to the classic Le Male DNA, while maintaining a fresh yet sweet profile.
