Fragrance

“The Sailor” is a legendary hero — the embodiment of strength and masculinity. Inspired by sailors in striped shirts, Le Male was created to conquer hearts. In the fragrance, the fresh note of lavender highlights masculinity, recalling the scent of traditional French shaving soap, while vanilla and tonka bean enhance sensuality and allure. The iconic and instantly recognizable bottle is shaped like a male torso. The brand’s most famous fragrance is inspired by brave sailors and dressed in a striped sailor shirt. The design of Le Male is a true expression of the brand’s DNA. The striped shirt became cult thanks to Monsieur Gaultier himself, who for many years appeared at his shows wearing a striped top and a Scottish kilt. The bold white-and-blue striped pattern has appeared repeatedly on his models. Like all Jean Paul Gaultier fragrances, this scent is housed in a metal tin, which has become a signature symbol of Jean Paul Gaultier perfumery. Perfumers: Christopher Sheldrake, Francis Kurkdjian.
