About This Perfume
Le Male Lover by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for men. Le Male Lover was launched in 2024. Le Male Lover was created by Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Quentin Bisch. Top notes are White Pepper and Finger Lime; middle notes are Ambergris, Sea Notes and Musk; base notes are Vanilla and Woody Notes. Le Male Lover, Jean Paul Gaultier's new sophisticated sailor. He joins the crew of Les Males, with his story captured on his tattooed torso. A tribute to one of Gaultier's fashion icons, Le Male Lover is shown naked without his sailor suit. Sensitive and daring. He is pure temptation forever tattooed in the hearts of those who cross his path. A big sensitive heart behind his virile appearance, Le Male Lover has arrived to make you stagger. Dazzling sun and salt-kissed skin. With the sea as a horizon, Le Male Lover is so sensual. This eau de parfum captures the essence of wet skin on hot sand, caressed by the cooling ocean spray. Infused with an amber breeze spiked with a touch of pepper and finger lime. At its heart lies carnal ambergris with its soft, musky warmth. The sensuality climaxes with notes of wood and vanilla.

The verdict
Best for
Jean Paul Gaultier launched fragrance with Classique in 1993 and Le Male in 1995; the house has since built one of the strongest designer-gourmand catalogues, currently anchored by the Scandal and Le Male families. Scendira lists 208 JPG fragrances with 34 in stock, priced $35 to $207. The catalogue leans gourmand-feminine on average (the Classique / La Belle side outnumbers Le Male in SKU count). Community top five in stock: Scandal Pour Homme Absolu (chestnut caramel sandalwood, 2024), Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum (geranium tonka sandalwood, 2022), Le Beau Paradise Garden (mint ginger coconut fig, 2024), Scandal Pour Homme (caramel latte vetiver, 2021) and Le Male Essence de Parfum (leather cardamom vanilla, 2016). Le Male in its EDT form remains the historical anchor, a mint-vanilla-lavender that defined 90s masculine gourmand. Bottles are the sculpted torso and bust icons.
