Launched in 2016 and crafted by perfumer Quentin Bisch, Le Male Essence de Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier is a bold statement of sophistication and warmth. The fragrance opens with the freshness of bergamot and artemisia, followed by cardamom and pepper that introduce an invigorating spiciness. As it settles into its heart, lavender and sage offer a soothing contrast to the initial vibrancy. The base notes of leather, vanilla, amberwood, and musk create an enveloping warmth, grounding the composition with a rich, animalic depth.
