A classy, warm and incredibly addictive scent that

Le Male Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier has quickly become my new go-to. The bottle looks amazing — that black and gold design just gives off luxury vibes and looks so good on my shelf. The scent is warm, smooth and a bit sweet with hints of vanilla and cardamom. It’s got that confident, slightly mysterious feel without being too strong. I already had compliments on my first day of using it. It lasts ages too, I can literally still smell it the next day on my clothes. Honestly, it’s one of those fragrances that makes u actually feel good every time you wear it.

Great smelling scent with Longevity!

Scent Profile & Character Le Male opens with a **fresh burst** of mint and lavender—crisp and clean, immediately distinctive. As it develops, spicy heart notes of cinnamon and caraway (or cumin-type warmth) emerge. The base is where it settles into its signature: vanilla, tonka bean, amber and woods like cedar & sandalwood. The result is a fragrance built on **contrast**: fresh versus warm, aromatic versus sweet, classic versus playful. It’s clearly aimed at someone who wants something with personality—not a “just-there” subtle scent, but one that says something. Performance & Wearability **Longevity & projection:** On many accounts, Le Male performs well. One blog reports that it lasts 7–9 hours on skin and even 12+ hours on clothes. **Versatility & Occasions:** * Great for evening wear, dates, cooler months (autumn/winter) thanks to its warm, sweet base. * It can work during daytime in spring or fall, but because of the vanilla/tonka sweetness you might want to apply more conservatively. * On very hot days or if you prefer ultra-light scents, it may feel heavy or a little “rich”. Packaging & Presentation Le Male is also notable for its bottle: the iconic sailor-striped torso form, strapped in tin-can style packaging. It gives the scent a playful, memorable identity — not just a fragrance but a visual statement. Pros & Cons 👍 Pros: * An iconic fragrance with a very recognizable scent profile. * The fresh + sweet + warm mix works for a lot of men and tends to earn compliments. * Good value for its category — a classic “safe bet” in many cases. * The bottle and brand carry style and personality. 👎 Cons: * Because it’s so well known, you might run into many others wearing it — less “unique”. * The sweetness (vanilla/tonka) may not appeal to those who prefer more clean/aromatic or rugged scents. * Newer reformulations may provide **weaker projection or longevity** than older ones. * It might feel a little dated in style for some tastes (especially compared to very modern artisan scents). * For very casual daytime or hot weather, it might feel heavy. My Verdict If I were to give a summary: Le Male is **highly recommended** for someone looking for a signature men’s scent with character, especially for evenings and cooler seasons. It’s bold without being obnoxious, comfortable without being bland. However — if you’re extremely sensitive to sweetness or you want something ultra-light and subtle, you might want to sample it first. Also, if you buy now, be aware of the potential for a milder performance than the “vintage” versions. All in all: a timeless piece. For many men it serves reliably as “the one” fragrance in their lineup.

Received this Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Eau de Parfum the packaging is really stylish and the bottle is very unique. The spray function directs to wherever you want. It’s a great scent and lasts a long time, definitely one to use for all occasions.

Sophisticated. Seductive. Commanding.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Jean Paul Gaultier’s Le Male Le Parfum is a bold evolution of the iconic Le Male DNA — smoother, deeper, and irresistibly warm. From the first spray, it announces itself with spicy cardamom, a confident and intriguing top note that sets the tone for what’s to come. At its heart, lavender and iris create a refined balance — the lavender lending a classic barbershop freshness, while the iris adds a powdery, luxurious polish. Together, they form a suave, well-groomed core that feels timeless yet modern. The base is where the magic lingers: creamy vanilla wrapped in oriental and woody notes. The result is smooth, sensual, and long-lasting — the kind of scent that stays with you (and those around you) long after you’ve left the room. This isn’t a loud, youthful sweetness; it’s confidence in a bottle — mature, alluring, and perfect for evenings, date nights, or cool weather. Pros: Long-lasting, rich projection, sophisticated warmth. Subtle yet bold application. Cons: Can feel heavy in hot weather if overapplied Bottom Line: Le Male Le Parfum is an irresistible blend of spice, wood, and creamy vanilla — elegant, commanding, and effortlessly magnetic. A must-have for anyone who wants their fragrance to feel both classic and modern at once.

Classic fragrance

I never had a Gaultier parfum before. It is a nice classic and masculine fragrance, perfect for the colder months. I can definitely smell vanilla in it. The package is a typical Gaultier. Long lasting.

Smells amazing.

I’m usually sceptical about new scents however this smells great, it has a long lasting scent and doesn’t smell to feminine, the packaging is fantastic .

Great aftershave

Great aftershave. Comes in a really fancy case that took a while to get into lol. But it smells amazing and lasts the whole day. I feel you could use it for any occasion. I will definitely be buying this one again as it was right up my street.

Great interpretation of a classic

I’ve always been a fan of the OG Le Male so was excited to try this one. The black bottle elevates the luxury design of the iconic torso. While the scent becomes stronger without losing the typical freshness of the original.

I’ve been using Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male for over 6 months and it never fails to get compliments. The fresh lavender and mint mixed with warm spices and vanilla make it both clean and seductive. Girls especially seem to love this scent, and the strong projection plus long-lasting performance make it a reliable choice for any occasion. Overall, it’s a timeless fragrance that always stands out.
