The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Le Male X-Mas Edition is a fragrance that captures the warmth and depth of winter. Created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, this oriental fougère composition opens with a fresh-spicy burst of lavender, cardamom, and mint, before transitioning into a heart of artemisia, bergamot, cinnamon, orange blossom, and caraway. The drydown settles on a base of sandalwood, vanilla, tonka bean, cedar, and amber, creating a rich blend of warm spices and woody notes. This edition is a thoughtful nod to the holiday season, blending festive aromatics with classic Jean Paul Gaultier elegance.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm embrace throughout the day. The spicy top notes will fade within an hour, but the rich base notes will linger close to the skin, making it perfect for cooler evenings.
