Jean Paul Gaultier

Le Male

EDT · Masculine · 1995

Mint and lavender hit first, cool and almost barbershop-clean. Then the sweetness arrives. Vanilla mixed with warm spice turns the whole thing soft and powdery, like shaving foam and skin. That contrast is the trick that made Le Male famous, and it still works. Sweet enough that some people find it heavy in summer heat. Projection is strong for an EDT and it holds most of a day. Wear it on a night out, or in winter when you want something warm and easy to like. It suits men who want to smell clean and comforting at once.
