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.
Fragrance Pyramid
Top: Cardamom
Heart: Iris and Lavender
Base: Vanilla and Oriental Woods
Performance
Longevity: Strong — most wearers report roughly 6 to 8 hours, with some skin types seeing a comfortable 4 to 5.

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.

Yes — every sample is decanted from an authentic bottle obtained through authorized distributors.
