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

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given Le Male's well-known strong sillage and longevity, it's best suited for social settings like dates or casual nights out where it can project without overwhelming. Its aromatic, warm spicy profile makes it a bit too bold for office wear and too cozy for active sports.

About

Le Male Pirate Edition is a familiar aromatic thrill, kicking off with that signature mentholated blast of mint and lavender, brightened by spicy cardamom. The heart introduces a comforting warmth with cinnamon and a touch of caraway, adding a subtle, earthy spice. It all settles into a classic Gaultier base of creamy vanilla and tonka bean, underscored by soft sandalwood and amber, creating a distinctively bold and sweet trail.
