Le Male in detail
Jean Paul Gaultier, a fashion designer since 1976, signed his first perfume in 1993. Le Male, his masculine eau de toilette, is linked to the sailor figure he is fond of; the house files it among aromatic ambers. The official page gives neither the year nor the perfumer.
The pyramid holds three materials, one per tier. Mint gives a fresh, invigorating opening. Lavender, in the heart, recalls for the house the world of shaving and old-fashioned soap. Vanilla, in the base, softens the whole with a sensual warmth.
Le Male is worn from autumn to spring, by day or in the evening. It is an aromatic of contrasts, both clean and vanilla-tinged, for those who like lavender without austerity.
Three niche fragrances in our catalogue share its lavender, each in a different register: Viking by Creed, Mefisto Gentiluomo by Xerjoff and Absinthe Boréale by Maison Crivelli. None of them repeats the mint and vanilla pairing, but all explore the aromatic freshness of lavender.
