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.

FAQ
How is this different from the original Le Male?
It keeps the lavender-vanilla DNA but adds cardamom, iris and richer woods for a warmer, more refined, evening-focused scent.
How long does it last?
Expect roughly 6 to 8 hours on most skin, around 4 to 5 on drier skin — strong but never overwhelming.
Is it good for daytime?
It shines most in cooler weather and after dark; it can be worn in the day but leans toward evening.
Are your samples authentic?
Yes — every sample is decanted from an authentic bottle obtained through authorized distributors.
