The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018, Le Male In The Navy by Jean Paul Gaultier is an aromatic fougère fragrance created by perfumers Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Quentin Bisch. This scent opens with a fresh mint and watery notes that evoke the crispness of open water, leading to a heart of sea-inspired accords and green freshness. The base layers in vanilla and ambergris for a warm, comforting finish. Le Male In The Navy captures the essence of Jean Paul Gaultier's inclusive and irreverent spirit, blending marine freshness with oriental warmth.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for an optimal experience. The minty top notes are quick to fade within an hour, so reapply if you want a continuous freshness throughout the day. The base notes of vanilla and ambergris develop slowly, providing warmth and depth as the day progresses.
