Launched in 2020 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Le Male Le Parfum is a concentrated flanker that builds on the iconic original from 1995. Created by perfumers Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Quentin Bisch, this fragrance opens with cardamom's spicy warmth before moving into a heart of lavender and iris. The base notes of vanilla, oriental accords, and woody notes provide a rich, enveloping finish. Le Male Le Parfum is known for its sculpted sailor-torso bottle, inspired by Fassbinder’s film Querelle, making it one of the most recognizable men's fragrances.
