Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier is lavender and vanilla: barbershop clean at the start, soft and sweet by the end. The opening is cool and herbal, with mint, lavender, bergamot, a pinch of cardamom and the bitter green of artemisia. Cinnamon and caraway then warm things up, and orange blossom brings a gentle floral glow. Vanilla and tonka lead a creamy base, with amber, sandalwood and cedar keeping it grounded. It dates from 1995 and is mostly chosen by men, though anyone who likes a warm, powdery lavender will feel at home in it. Voters pick it for autumn and winter nights, and some wear it to work. On longevity the vote leans long-lasting; on sillage it leans moderate. Start with a 10ml decant and give it a few weeks of cooler days and late nights.

The community verdict
Le Male pairs lavender, mint and cardamom with warm cinnamon, then settles into vanilla and tonka bean. Longevity divides between long and moderate; moderate projection leads, with strong also reported. It suits winter nights and autumn evenings, and its cosy sweetness can bring compliments.
