Jean Paul Gaultier 2010 EDT
Le Male Terrible
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Terrible is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by Aurélien Guichard. Le Male Terrible opens with Grapefruit and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Terrible carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.
This one's a divisive flanker: a confident, bolder take on Le Male, either loved for its fresh, spicy twist or dismissed as an unnecessary replica. It's a shouty beast that projects big energy, but wearers warn that if you're expecting the original, you might find it a bit...terrible.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its bold projection and spicy-sweet profile make it great for casual outings and dates, but it might be a bit too much for a formal office setting. Many users praise its versatility for year-round wear, though high heat might be an exception.
