THE RUSH

Le Male – Jean Paul Gaultier | Oriental Fougère

✨ Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier (1995) is the iconic oriental fougère for men that defined a generation — a bold, sensual blend of fresh lavender, warm vanilla, and smooth tonka that never goes out of style. A true modern classic.

Opening: Lavender, mint, cardamom, bergamot, and artemisia burst open with a fresh, aromatic energy — clean and masculine with just enough spice to command attention.

Heart: Cinnamon, orange blossom, and caraway add warmth and depth — a spiced floral core that bridges the freshness of the top with the richness of the base.

Base: Vanilla, tonka bean, amber, sandalwood, and cedar settle into a warm, creamy, long-lasting trail. Seductive, smooth, and utterly unforgettable.
