Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Summer 2010 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010. Le Male Summer 2010 opens with Ginger and Mint, and settles into a heart of Ginseng. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Summer 2010 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive one. Fans of the original Le Male will find a lighter version, but many are underwhelmed, citing poor performance and an 'herbal shop' ginger note that misses the mark. It's a risk for a blind buy.

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.

About

Le Male Summer 2010 opens with a vibrant, almost icy burst of mint and ginger, offering a fresh, green take on the classic DNA. The aromatic heart weaves in a subtle ginseng, lending an earthy, herbal nuance before settling into a milder, aquatic interpretation of the original's sweetness. It's light and cooling, designed for warmer weather.
