The story behind the bottle.
Le Male Capitaine Collector by Jean Paul Gaultier, launched in 2014, is an Oriental Fougere fragrance that embodies the designer’s signature blend of irreverence and elegance. The composition opens with a fresh spicy accord that cuts through sweetness, leading to a heart of lavender and green notes that add depth without overpowering the senses. This is balanced by a rich vanilla base that brings warmth and comfort, anchored by powdery undertones for an overall sense of polished restraint.
Apply Le Male Capitaine Collector to pulse points for a steady warmth. The fresh spicy notes fade within an hour, so allow time for the vanilla base to develop its full richness. It’s best worn indoors or during cooler weather when you want a scent that reads close to skin.
