Launched in 2014 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Le Beau Male Edition Collector was crafted by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian to embody the designer's signature blend of irreverence and elegance. The composition opens with a vibrant mint and wormwood duo that brings an invigorating freshness, while sage adds a herbal depth. At its heart, lavender and orange blossom create a harmonious balance between green and floral notes, before settling into a musky base that provides warmth and comfort. This fragrance is a proof of Gaultier's philosophy of celebrating diversity and individuality.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intensity of an urban rooftop at dawn, where the crisp air is filled with the scent of mint and sage, and the promise of a new day.
