More about Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier is a 1995 men's fragrance that Francis Kurkdjian crafted to honor masculinity while giving it a modern, seductive edge. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male opens with cool mint, soft lavender and bright bergamot, alongside cardamom and artemisia in the top notes. The heart notes reveal cinnamon, caraway and orange blossom, over a base of creamy vanilla, sandalwood, amber, cedar and tonka bean. Bold yet tender, Le Male blends strength with a gentle warmth, creating a magnetic allure, and it feels like a midnight stroll through a bustling port city, where sea air meets the glow of lantern-lit streets. Cold months are its time, winter first and fall second, and wearers pick it for night and evening. It suits a man who wants a sweet, aromatic lavender-and-vanilla scent from Jean Paul Gaultier for cold nights out.
