Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum EDP Intense

Description

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum EDP Intense is the suave, nocturnal evolution of an icon, the comforting lavender-vanilla heart of the original wrapped in spicy cardamom and powdery iris.

Composed by Quentin Bisch and Nathalie Gracia-Cetto for the French house Jean Paul Gaultier in 2020, it trades the fresh-shave brightness of the 1995 classic for a warmer, creamier, after-dark character. Reviewers describe it not as a replacement for the original Le Male but as its more sophisticated evening counterpart.

Scent Character

• Floral: 40%
• Sweet: 20%
• Spicy: 20%
• Woody: 20%

Translation: a powdery floral-gourmand built on iris and lavender, sweetened with creamy vanilla and lifted by warm cardamom spice over soft woods. Smooth and refined rather than loud.
