Description
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Essence de Parfum was composed by Quentin Bisch in 2016 as part of Gaultier's collaboration with PUIG, reinventing the iconic Le Male as a fine perfumery creation. It interprets the spirit of the original 1995 Le Male through a darker, more sophisticated oriental fougere lens.
The opening of cardamom, pepper, artemisia, and bergamot is aromatic and complex — a spicy-green-herbal introduction that goes beyond the EDT original. The heart reveals leather, lavender, cinnamon, and sage: the classic Le Male DNA amplified with new oriental authority. For wholesale perfume collections, Le Male Essence delivers the beloved Le Male brand at its most refined.
The base of vanilla, coumarin, amberwood, musk, and costus (a rare iris-root-derived balsamic note) is deep, animalic, and velvet-smooth. This base ensures exceptional longevity and a trail that last for many hours.
Positioned above Le Male EDP as a premium alternative, Le Male Essence is ideal for upselling loyal Le Male customers and attracting new buyers seeking depth and complexity in their masculine fragrance.
