Launched in 2006 by Jean Paul Gaultier and crafted by Francis Kurkdjian, Le Male Stimulating Body Spray 2006 is a bold aromatic fougère that challenges the traditional boundaries of men's fragrance. The composition opens with a zesty burst of bergamot and mint, creating an invigorating freshness that cuts through the air. As it evolves, lavender and thyme add a green, herbal layer, while cinnamon introduces a warm spicy note. Vanilla rounds out the base, offering a touch of sweetness without overpowering the overall crispness.

Application Tips
This fragrance projects well with just one spray — the bergamot and mint notes make a strong first impression but fade within two hours. The spicy warmth of cinnamon and vanilla lingers throughout the day, making it perfect for daytime wear.

“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.
