Le Male Boule à Neige

What's more, its bottle is frequently reinvented over the seasons, according to events and Jean-Paul Gaultier's creativity. This helps sustain its renown. Today, Jean-Paul Gaultier has once again given free rein to his inventiveness. He decided to focus on the Christmas holidays and revisited Le Mâle in an entirely new bottle named Le Mâle Boule à Neige.

The unchanged fragrance created by Jean-Paul Gaultier

First, let's point out that Le Mâle Boule à Neige has kept exactly the same scent as its predecessor. Indeed, this is not an olfactory revisit but simply the presentation of a new bottle design. Le Mâle Boule à Neige opens on a particularly fresh and lively scent, evocative of the smell of a mint cordial. Thus, Le Mâle Boule à Neige begins with a combination of fresh mint, bergamot and orange blossom. Then, lavender, the star of this fragrance, takes the stage. It gives this juice a scent close to that of the shaving soap men once used. This, incidentally, is where the fragrance's slightly retro touch comes from. Lavender is also paired with mugwort, and both are spiked with spices. Le Mâle Boule à Neige contains cardamom, cinnamon and cumin. Its sillage becomes more virile and sensual. Le Mâle Boule à Neige rests on a base of cedar, vanilla, sandalwood and musk.

The new bottle of the Le Mâle Boule à Neige fragrance

But what about this fragrance's new bottle? Le Mâle Boule à Neige immediately immerses us in a Christmas atmosphere. Its bust is now covered with a white and red sailor top. Likewise, it rests on a red base. After all, what better shade to evoke Christmas? The whole is also covered with a clear glass dome. All one has to do is turn over this new container from Jean-Paul Gaultier to see a multitude of snowflakes swirl inside. Jean-Paul Gaultier's bust is thus plunged into the heart of winter. Here again, it is a matter of appealing to our childhood memories. After all, who has never shaken a snow globe as a child, getting caught up in the dance of the flakes inside? Snow globes have delighted young and old alike for a century now. It is therefore a real pleasure to rediscover this cult essence of men's perfumery inside this iconic Viennese object of our traditions.
