The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Le Male Summer 2011 by Jean Paul Gaultier was launched in 2011 as an aromatic and warm addition to the Le Male line. This fragrance opens with a bright, fresh lavender note that is immediately balanced by mint and cardamom, creating a vibrant yet soothing effect. The heart of African orange flower adds a delicate floral touch, while the base notes of vanilla, sandalwood, and musk bring a rich warmth and depth to the composition. It is this juxtaposition of freshness and richness that defines Le Male Summer 2011.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points for an even distribution throughout the day. The aromatic top notes will fade within an hour but the rich base notes will linger, making it ideal for evening wear.
