The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Le Male Summer 2013 by Jean Paul Gaultier is a refreshing take on the brand's signature scent. This aromatic fragrance opens with a bright green and fresh spicy accord, featuring notes of lavender, mint, cardamom, and green leaves that evoke a sunlit meadow. The heart softens into a powdery warmth, with vanilla adding a touch of sweetness to balance out the spiciness. As it settles, sandalwood and musk create a woody base that grounds the composition, making this scent both invigorating and comforting.
Apply two sprays for optimal impact — the green and aromatic top notes are most potent in the first hour. As the powdery warmth takes over, it will stay close to your skin, making this a perfect choice for daytime wear.
