The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Le Beau Male by Jean Paul Gaultier is an aromatic fougère fragrance created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. The composition opens with a bright mint and wormwood accord that brings a fresh, green vibrancy to the top notes. This gives way to a heart of lavender and orange blossom, adding a layer of herbal freshness and floral softness. The base notes feature sage and musk, grounding the scent with an earthy warmth.
Jean Paul Gaultier's brand is known for its inclusivity and diversity, and Le Beau Male reflects this spirit through its bold and fresh character. It stands out as a modern take on traditional fougère fragrances, offering a blend of freshness and depth that feels both contemporary and lasting.
This fragrance projects well but settles quickly into skin. For optimal wear, apply it to pulse points in the morning for a scent that evolves gracefully throughout the day.
