Jean Paul Gaultier (JPG) Le Male (EDT) Fragrance Samples | Authentic Decants (3ml, 5ml, 10ml)

Jean Paul Gaultier currently presents Le Male through a simplified three-note structure. The notes below follow the brand's official product page.

Top Note

• Mint

Heart Note

• Lavender

Base Note

• Vanilla

The brand describes the mint as fresh and powerful, the lavender as reminiscent of comforting shaving soap, and the vanilla as the sensual element that warms the composition.

Le Male opens with a cool burst of mint that immediately gives the fragrance a fresh and aromatic character.

Lavender quickly becomes central, creating the clean, familiar shaving-soap quality associated with traditional barbershop fragrances. This aromatic heart is what gives Le Male much of its recognizable identity.

Vanilla gradually smooths and sweetens the composition, turning the fresh aromatic opening into a warmer, softer and more sensual drydown. Overall, Le Male smells minty, lavender-forward, clean, sweet and warmly ambery.

Le Male Eau de Toilette is the original fragrance and emphasizes mint, lavender and vanilla in an Amber Aromatic profile. It feels fresher, brighter and more traditionally aromatic.

Le Male Le Parfum is a later Eau de Parfum Intense variation with cardamom at the top, lavender and iris through the heart, and vanilla in the base. Jean Paul Gaultier classifies it as Amber Woody, giving it a richer and more polished character than the original.

If you prefer minty freshness and a classic lavender-vanilla profile, the original Le Male is the better starting point. If you want a denser, spicier and more iris-driven interpretation, Le Male Le Parfum may be worth comparing.

Le Male's combination of fresh mint, aromatic lavender and warm vanilla makes it versatile enough for casual daytime wear, evenings out and cooler-weather use.

Its clean aromatic opening works well in everyday settings, while the sweeter vanilla drydown makes it equally suitable for dinners, social occasions and date nights.

Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

Le Male is built around a distinctive contrast between cooling mint, clean lavender and sweet vanilla. Sampling lets you see how prominent the aromatic and sweeter facets become on your skin before purchasing a larger amount.

A 3ml Le Male sample provides multiple opportunities to experience the fragrance before choosing a larger travel-size decant for regular wear.
