Amber fougère · 125ml
Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier — 125ml Eau de Toilette
Le Male is an amber fougère fragrance for men and one of the most iconic masculine scents ever made. Created by Francis Kurkdjian for Jean Paul Gaultier in 1995, it’s built on a signature contrast: a cool, fresh mint-and-lavender “barbershop” opening that melts into a warm, sweet vanilla and tonka base. Instantly recognisable and endlessly wearable, it remains a benchmark for smooth, comforting masculine fragrance.
What does Le Male smell like?
The opening is fresh and aromatic — cool mint and clean lavender lead, lifted by cardamom and bergamot for a crisp, shaved-clean barbershop feel.
At its heart, warm spice takes over: cinnamon, orange blossom and a touch of caraway add depth and a subtly sensual edge that bridges the fresh top and sweet base.
The dry-down is the signature — creamy vanilla and tonka bean over soft amber, sandalwood and cedar, leaving a warm, smooth, slightly sweet finish that’s become unmistakable.
What are the fragrance notes in Le Male?
Le Male moves from a fresh aromatic top, through a warm spicy heart, into a sweet vanilla-woody base.

How long does Le Male last?
Expect around five to seven hours on skin, with the vanilla, tonka and amber base holding longest — and noticeably longer on clothing. Projection is moderate and approachable: it creates a pleasant, warm scent bubble in the first hours before settling closer to the skin, without becoming overwhelming.
Sprayed onto a shirt or jacket, Le Male will comfortably carry through the day and into the evening.
When should you wear Le Male?
Le Male is a true all-rounder. The fresh mint-and-lavender opening keeps it wearable in warmer weather, while the sweet, warm vanilla base makes it especially enjoyable in the cooler months — so it works year-round in the Australian climate.
It suits both daytime and evening, and its smooth, sensual warmth makes it a long-standing favourite for date nights and nights out.
Who is Le Male for?
This is a fragrance for men who want a smooth, warm, universally liked signature scent. If you enjoy sweet, vanilla-forward fragrances with a fresh, clean lift, Le Male is a modern classic that rarely puts a foot wrong.
It’s also a reliable first “iconic” fragrance — recognisable, comforting and easy to wear in almost any setting.
How should you apply Le Male?
Use two to three sprays on pulse points — wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as it crushes the top notes and shortens the fresh opening.
Store the bottle away from direct sunlight and heat to protect the composition over time.

Frequently asked questions
Is Le Male good for everyday wear?
Yes — it’s one of the most versatile everyday fragrances ever made. The fresh mint-and-lavender opening keeps it clean and appropriate for daytime and work, while the warm vanilla base makes it just as suited to evenings and nights out.
What does Le Male actually smell like?
Its signature is a cool, clean “barbershop” opening of mint, lavender and cardamom that melts into a warm, sweet vanilla-and-tonka base. In short: fresh and clean up top, cosy and sweet underneath — smooth and instantly recognisable.
Is Le Male a good date-night or evening fragrance?
Yes — the warm, sweet vanilla base gives it a smooth, sensual quality that has made it a long-standing favourite for date nights and evenings, especially in cooler weather. It’s also gentle enough for daytime, so it isn’t limited to nights out.
What’s the difference between Le Male EDT and the other versions?
This listing is the original 1995 Eau de Toilette — the classic fresh-and-sweet fougère most people picture when they think of Le Male. The line also includes richer, sweeter versions such as Le Male Le Parfum and Le Male Elixir, which drop the fresh mint in favour of deeper vanilla and amber. The EDT remains the freshest and most versatile of them.
Does nisbah ship Le Male across Australia?
Yes. We ship nationwide via Australia Post, including to metropolitan and regional addresses.

This one’s a classic for a reason. Smells clean, warm, and a bit sweet. Perfect balance — I’ve been wearing it for years.
