Le Male Pride Collector by Jean Paul Gaultier, launched in 2020 and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, is an aromatic fougère that seamlessly blends freshness with warmth. The composition opens with artemisia, cardamom, and mint, creating a crisp, invigorating top note. This gives way to the heart of lavender, bergamot, and caraway, which brings a herbal and slightly spicy character. The base notes of cinnamon, vanilla, sandalwood, amber, cedar, and tonka bean provide a warm, powdery finish that lingers on the skin.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in two light sprays for a balanced experience. The aromatic top notes are bright but fade within an hour, while the powdery base notes gradually come to life over time. It's best suited for daytime or evening wear, depending on how you want it to evolve throughout your day.

“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.
