Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Summer 2013 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2013. Le Male Summer 2013 opens with Lavender, Cardamom, and Mint, settles into a heart of Green Notes and Grass, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Summer 2013 carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A lighter, greener take on the original Le Male, this flanker is a bit of a crowd-pleaser for those already devoted to the line. Its summer suitability is up for debate, but if you can nab it cheap, it's a solid warm-weather reach.

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.

About

Le Male Summer 2013 opens with a familiar aromatic burst of cool lavender and invigorating mint, spiced up by a hint of cardamom. The heart quickly greens up with fresh cut grass notes, bringing an airy, natural feel. The dry down retains the signature Le Male warmth with soft vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and a subtle musk, delivering a comforting finish that's not quite as heavy as the original.
