Ultra Male by Jean Paul Gaultier: a fragrance built entirely on virility. If Jean-Paul Gaultier is an artist defined in many ways, he remains inseparable from his emblematic sailor top. He elevated this garment to superstar status and declines it in every possible form, whether in couture or in perfume.
Le Male by Jean-Paul Gaultier is a cult fragrance born in 1995, as famous for its aromatic lavender scent as for its bottle shaped like a male torso. An unabashed touch of vanity for a sensitive man, this fragrance has always navigated between strength and fragility. However, in 2015, its power asserts itself. Jean-Paul Gaultier gives birth to Ultra Male, a bolder, more powerful and virile essence. On a purely olfactory level, Ultra Male belongs to a style radically different from that of its predecessors. More oriental, intense and modern, it releases a deeper, more tempting breath. Yet it is precisely this darker facet of its personality that resurfaces in its visual as well. Decoding its bottle.
A bottle shaped like a male torso dressed in a sailor top
Ultra Male does not stray from tradition and appears, like its predecessors, in a highly unusual bottle. Here, there is no question of a classic glass cylinder or rectangle. Jean-Paul Gaultier has accustomed us to far more originality, and the design of his bottle takes the shape of a male glass torso. Tempting, this transparent man displays an athletic and imposing stature. With broad shoulders, perfectly defined pectorals and prominent muscles, he stands as a symbol of virility. Moreover, he has been dressed, since its launch in 1995, in a sailor top. On one hand, this is the emblematic couture piece of the Jean-Paul Gaultier house. On the other, it associates this fragrance with the image of a sailor, an infinitely seductive figure. The scene is set: Ultra Male is an adventurer who travels the world, collecting women from port to port.
The new dark blue color of Ultra Male
While the shape of its bottle remains unchanged, the Ultra Male bottle by Jean-Paul Gaultier has a darker color than before. Its turquoise blue shade has given way to a more intriguing and mysterious midnight blue. Still slightly transparent, it is streaked with a few matte black bands to outline its sailor top. Only its cap lights up the whole. It retains its silvery, shimmering color.
The famous tin can of Jean-Paul Gaultier
Finally, in terms of packaging proper, Jean-Paul Gaultier does not lack self-mockery. Since the launch of Male, the entire collection has come in a reinterpreted tin can. Here, it becomes matte black, while incorporating a few hypnotic blue reflections. The name Jean-Paul Gaultier is embossed on its sides, while Ultra Male lights up this visual with its brighter red shade. A sailor's anchor is also drawn behind its name, immediately evoking the maritime world.
As for size, Ultra Male by Jean-Paul Gaultier is available in 40, 75 and 125 ml spray bottles. So, what are you waiting for to give in to temptation and play, in turn, the old sea wolf or the Greek god emerging from the depths of the ocean? Ultra Male by Jean-Paul Gaultier awaits only you!
