The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008, La Cologne Fleur du Male by Jean Paul Gaultier is an aromatic fougère created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. This fragrance opens with a fresh spicy and citrusy burst, featuring bergamot and green notes that create a vibrant, invigorating first impression. The heart unfolds into white florals and soapy accords, adding a touch of elegance and subtle sweetness. The base notes of woody and aromatic elements provide warmth and depth, grounding the composition in a modern yet lasting aroma.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lasting effect. The fresh spicy and citrus notes are most prominent in the first hour, so it pairs well with daytime activities. As the base notes settle in, it becomes more suited for evening wear.
