Where to buy

For the 2026 holidays, Jean Paul Gaultier dresses his sailor once again for a limited collector edition. The bottle changes, the fragrance stays: the box announces Le Male as an eau de toilette, in a single 125 ml size.

A year-end tradition

The house redresses Le Male’s torso as the holidays approach, without touching its formula. One past edition printed Perugino’s Saint Sebastian, recast as a corsair, on an openwork mesh; others slipped the bottle into a snow globe.

In 2025, Le Male Elixir had also received its own Christmas collector bottle, in a limited edition. The 2026 edition returns to the 1995 eau de toilette, the version with which the line began.

The original fragrance

Le Male was born in 1995: the house’s first men’s fragrance, composed by Francis Kurkdjian, it is sold in a metal tin can. The house classifies its eau de toilette as aromatic amber and sums it up in three materials: mint, lavender, vanilla.
