Jean Paul Gaultier · 1995
Le Male
lavender · mint · cardamom
Lavender and mint open a fresh, clean trail, sharply aromatic. At the heart, cinnamon and orange blossom bring a soft, almost powdery warmth. The base of vanilla, tonka bean and sandalwood stays close and enveloping. Wear it on cool autumn evenings, when night falls early.
