Le Male EDT by Jean Paul Gaultier
Amber Fougere
Francis Kurkdjian
These days Le Male represents the old-fashioned type of advertising – to be irresistible for women. The scent is masculine and sensual and it gave men the impulse to take care of their appearance and the confidence to openly attract women. We still want that but it is not our prior intention anymore, I would say. It is more about finding who we are and what makes us happy, a personal journey which is hard yet beautiful.
Le male does not smell like a typical male after-shave. Don’t get me wrong, it has a barber shop ground but it is sexier and sweeter with an oriental touch. The main notes are lavender, mint and vanilla. It is a cool daddy fragrance that lasts and projects.
Is it still relevant for the kids today? I would not be bothered wearing it. But definitely get your nose on it and pause and appreciate what was ground-breaking twenty-five years ago. Although I would not wear it and would be probably “only” okay if my significant other wore it, it deserves respect the same way some other iconic female fragrances do.
