Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Ultra Male opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, and Pear, settles into a heart of Caraway, Cinnamon, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Jean Paul Gaultier's Ultra Male carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive, loud, sweet, and undeniably playful beast-mode fragrance that's either a masterful clubbing tool or a saccharine nightmare. Love it or hate it, Ultra Male demands attention.

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.

Its beastly projection and sweet, attention-grabbing profile make it unsuitable for professional settings, but perfect for nights out and casual dates. Many reviews highlight its 'clubbing king' status and suggest discretion with sprays for other uses, especially in warmer weather.

About

Ultra Male hits hard with a juicy, candied pear and vibrant lavender, undercut by a zingy mint and bergamot. As it settles, warm vanilla and cinnamon embrace the fruit, deepening into a spicy, balsamic amber and patchouli base. It's a bubblegum-sweet, incredibly impactful scent with impressive depth.
