The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2014 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Le Beau Male Edition Collector was crafted by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian to embody the designer's signature blend of irreverence and elegance. The composition opens with a vibrant mint and wormwood duo that brings an invigorating freshness, while sage adds a herbal depth. At its heart, lavender and orange blossom create a harmonious balance between green and floral notes, before settling into a musky base that provides warmth and comfort. This fragrance is a proof of Gaultier's philosophy of celebrating diversity and individuality.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fresh top notes are best enjoyed in the morning, while the musky base will carry you through the evening.
