Le Mâle On Board

Yet if only one fragrance had to sum up his entire body of work, it would undoubtedly be Le Mâle. A cult essence of the 1990s, it remains the house's undisputed best-seller. Once again, in 2021, Jean-Paul Gaultier's Le Mâle receives a new reinterpretation. It gives rise to Le Mâle On Board!

Le Mâle On Board, setting sail for Jean-Paul Gaultier's new cabin boy!

Like every fragrance in the Jean-Paul Gaultier saga, Le Mâle On Board clearly draws on the world of the sailor. It must be said that the sailor stripe stands as the centerpiece of the designer's wardrobe. The sailor thus imposed itself on him as an obvious choice. A symbol of masculinity, he fuels fantasies among women the world over, and it is precisely this seductive quality that is found in the fragrance Le Mâle On Board. Jean-Paul Gaultier's cabin boy casts off and carries us with him toward the ocean. This limited edition is crafted like a sailor, as sensual as he is bewitching. Full of energy, the one who wears this fragrance releases in his sillage an untamable ardor, a youthful spirit and a fiery temperament!

The woody, aromatic breath of Le Mâle On Board

More specifically, in terms of scent, this is expressed first through a highly refreshing breath. In its top notes, Le Mâle On Board draws on the zesty bitterness of bergamot. Then its heart turns more toward floralcy. To lose none of its pep, Jean-Paul Gaultier draws on geranium, renowned for tonalities as elegant as they are peppery. Little by little, the whole softens and wraps itself in tonka bean. Its woody, aromatic sillage sweeps the senses away. It captures attention and aims to be as virile as it is sensual.

The return of Jean-Paul Gaultier's famous bust

Naturally, the fragrance Le Mâle On Board's belonging to the great Jean-Paul Gaultier family is evident at first sight of its bottle. Indeed, like its predecessors, it comes in a glass case shaped like a male bust. Featuring an athletic silhouette, it is also covered in a sailor stripe. Matte white stripes stand out against its azure blue surface. The whole is housed in Jean-Paul Gaultier's iconic tin can. In a retro, vintage spirit, this one is decorated with a 1950s pin-up. The name of Jean-Paul Gaultier's fragrance Le Mâle On Board appears within a porthole. Prepare to board!
