While I'm really not a fan of the bottle of this cologne, I really ended up liking how it smelled on my partner, although he remains unsure if he likes it or not. Apparently the inspiration behind this was sailors and shaving soap! Immediately after spraying I get a very strong vanilla, followed soon after by lavender. It really does remind me of shaving soap, so JPG definitely nailed that. It eventually turns into a warm minty, lavender fragrance, and the longevity of this is really impressive. I couldn't pick up any of the other notes, but to me this smells like a fresh, almost aquatic fragrance with a bit of warmth from the vanilla. This cologne seems suitable for any age group, it's very versatile and could be used in any season too!

Jean Paul Gaultier “Le Male” #Influenster. I received this perfume from Influenster for free. Once you see this packaging, you remember it at first sight. From the general smell I can highlight only three: vanilla, tonka bean and amber. I don't hear lavender, I don't hear mint. To me, it smells the same both immediately after application and several hours later. It smells magical close to the skin and stays on clothes for a very long time. With little activity the aroma intensifies. It feels almost the same on the body and on clothes. Lasts from 8 to 12 hours. Le Male is not a fragrance for every man. Not everyone dares to wear a haze of sweetness (after all, the main point of this perfume is vanilla). But whoever chooses it definitely has a special style.

To start this review, I wouldn't say that this is a cologne that every men should know, but HAVE. Even 1 bottle, at least once in their lives. Le Male is an oriental fougère fragrance. For those who do not know, fougères have as predominant notes, combinations of lavender, bergamot, geranium, oakmoss, coumarin and amber. It is not necessary to have all these notes for a fragrance to be considered a fougère; but bergamot, oakmoss and lavender are virtually essential for a good fougère. The oriental part is on behalf of notes like vanilla, cinnamon and sandalwood. Le Male is an intense, sensitive and masculine scent and, at the same time, modern and sexy. I'd even say cozy! In my humble opinion, Le Male is not a cologne for teens, even those who want to look 10 years ... MoreTo start this review, I wouldn't say that this is a cologne that every men should know, but HAVE.

In my humble opinion, Le Male is not a cologne for teens, even those who want to look 10 years older, just to impress the girls. The target audience for this fragrance are men over 25 years old. I consider it ideal for night time, also could be worn in a ballad - in order to make it clear that the man who wears it wants to mark his territory - or in a nice romantic date. On the other hand, I don't think it’s good for hot days, because the aroma doesn't match and the effect can be devastating, as it is a sweet, dry and strong fragrance. The evolution of this scent, at least on my skin, it's not the greatest, because I think it's quite linear from the start to the end. However, the trail and its durability on the skin are unique characteristics, which put it at the top of the perfumery world. I can guarantee, easily, between 8 to 12 hours of lasting! For those who don't know its aroma, there are some similar colognes on the market that, changing a little bit here and there, tried to imitate this classic fragrance, which is a big seller in the world, until nowadays. They are: Cuba Gold, 212 Sexy, Romero Britto, Jacomo Rouge, etc.

I’m a big fan. I got this from a free campaign today and so far I love it. I wore it this morning and I’ve already gotten countless complaints. The scent profile is lavender a vanilla spice and personally I think it suited better to our older demographic but I feel like it is a pretty well-rounded scent . I think that this scent is good for summertime and spring times maybe winter but I don’t think they sent would work so well and fall. The scent is definitely cool toned and very refreshing. I think it’s a crowd pleaser I would recommend it to anybody wanting a beginner fragrance but they like the spicy old enough scent, The atomizer is amazing and it has spectacular distribution. The scent is really strong so you do not need much I would give it about 2 to 4 ... MoreI’m a big fan. I got this from a free campaign today and so far I love it.

Right out of the bottle is sweet, warm, almost cola-like vanilla. Slight spicy floral and a more powdery vanilla in the dry down, and a hint of fresh cool mint (I did not clock it by scent, but after reading the notes online, can recognize what it is) that gives an impression of an aquatic blue note. Overall, very pleasant, sweet, and an interesting warmth lifted with that touch of aquatic mint. I would have liked slightly more complexity, perhaps a wood or spices, but still very much enjoy it and much prefer it over heavy, over-musky scents like some male perfumes. This is androgynous enough to suit any gender, though it does lean masculine. If I were personify this scent, it is someone who is good-natured and fun-loving, perhaps a little cheeky, but not too wild ... MoreRight out of the bottle is sweet, warm, almost cola-like vanilla.

Jean Paul Gautier’s “Le Male” isn’t as masculine smelling as it’s name and packaging would suggest. I recently received this cologne to sample and gave it to my boyfriend to try. The scent is not for either of us. Don’t get me wrong, it is not a bad smelling cologne. However, for my nose, the scent of lavender is overpowering and there is a powdery quality to it, which is not for me. My boyfriend described it as “soapy”. I think this cologne could work as a more unisex scent. Personally, I prefer men’s colognes that are more musky and traditionally masculine smelling. The staying power of this cologne was decent but it is a very soft scent, so it is not overpowering either. Overall, I think this is a nice smelling cologne, but it is not to my personal preference, ... MoreJean Paul Gautier’s “Le Male” isn’t as masculine smelling as it’s name and packaging would suggest.

I received these products for free from Influenster and brand JPG in exchange for my honest review. First and foremost I would like to say that this fragrance was released in 1995. With that being said, I think it still holds up pretty well and doesn’t smell too outdated. Upon my first spray, I instantly got hit with the mint note. It was pretty strong at first, but once I gave the fragrance time to dry down the mint scent was a lot better and less powerful. I also occasionally got/smelt the vanilla, amber, and lavender notes. I tested this fragrance on my wrist and it lasted around 8 hours. This fragrance took me by surprise as I wasn’t expecting it to like it as much as I did. It also gave me some sort of nostalgic feeling for some reason. I also wore it to a ... MoreI received these products for free from Influenster and brand JPG in exchange for my honest review.

Overall, this is a nice smelling fragrance which paved the way for fragrances today.
To start I like to thank Influenster for selecting me to do this product review. This Fragrance was sent to me at no charge in exchange for my honest opinion so here we go! Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier is a beast of a fragrance it comes in blasting fresh, sweet and unique. You get vanilla, lavender, sweetness and a ton of aromatic spices with a powdery finish that makes this a velvet hammer of an Eau de Toilette. It lasts for forever (8 hours+) and leaves a trail as you walk on by. It is resoundingly and unmistakably a fragrance geared towards a Masculine wearer. The packaging and bottle shape are also super unique too. The bottle comes packaged in a mock tin can line with red velvet suggesting a quality and exclusive product lives here.

The bottle shape also hints at the masculinity of the fragrance as it is a frosted glass bust of a male torso. Should you buy it? I’d say Yes! I like to pair my fragrance with my morning shave and this is definitely a unique attractive and pleasing scent.
Le Male in 2024. An absolutely legendary scent that revolutionized perfumery was made by one of my favourite perfumers Francis Kurkjidan Le Male opens up with that aromatic vanilla we all know and love, the combination of vanilla and lavender smells incredibly clean and fresh. At first impression I found it similar to an expensive aftershave. I think the cinnamon is what helps this smell like a spicy vanilla lavender aroma and to me it's nothing like my other fragrances in my 25+ collection. I love this one so much because of this one one of my favourite fragrances ever was made Ultra Male. Longevity is still great, you are probably just going noseblind to it lasts a good 6 to 8 hours with a good projection for 2+ hours after that it settles down. Main problem I ... MoreLe Male in 2024.

Main problem I would say is that the flankers are definitely better Ultra Male, Le Parfum and the new Elixir but considering you can find this one for considerably cheaper than the others if you enjoy that fougere barbershop style of fragrance I would say this is worth it. Also considering I’m a younger guy for me it reminds of my dad a little or someone more mature but in terms of smell. Still a 9.5/10 for me
I received this Le Male Eau de Toilette by Jean Paul Gaultier for free from Influenster for testing purposes and to give my honest opinion. This is a very nice, sweet, spicy, fresh scent with sweet hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The opening is unique, strong, and bold. Throughout the day, as it settles, the vanilla starts to smell. It is not too sweet, which is a very nice subtle vanilla scent. The projection is also very good, and it can last me a good solid 7 hours. This fragrance is versatile. You can wear it day or night and on warm or cold days. I will definitely buy this grafrance without a doubt.
