Le Male Terrible

by Aurélien Guichard

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 Lavender and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Terrible carries an Acquired 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.

About

Le Male Terrible kicks off with a sharp, zesty grapefruit and a lively pink pepper zing, before settling into a heart of clean, aromatic lavender and earthy vetiver. The dry down mellows into a warm, inviting embrace of sweet vanilla and amber, retaining a fresh edge throughout. Think original Le Male's DNA, but dialled up on the citrus and spice.
