The classic Le Mâle Eau de Toilette was my very first fragrance that introduced me to the world of perfumes. Why do I mention this? Because with "Le Male in Blue | Jean Paul Gaultier" we return to the origin and connect the old and the new. For me, it's a blend of Le Mâle Eau de Toilette and Le Mâle Le Parfum. Really well done, and it connects fans of both worlds.
Why do they call it in Blue? I assume because the OG was light blue. However, this has nothing to do with a blue aquatic scent. Just a heads up for anyone who assumed that.
On one side, we have the classic lavender note that stands out clearly and is embedded in a base of benzoin and tonka, which you know from the newer versions. This makes the fragrance overall brighter and it loses some of its heaviness.
As a fan from the beginning, I naturally like this and find it to be like its grandfather, an all-rounder that you can wear daily without overwhelming those around you.
PS: I actually voted for the white falcon, but what’s not there can still happen, and in the end, "Le Male in Blue | Jean Paul Gaultier" turned out well.
Can you test it out with you? I also prefer the original version. In the voting for the bottle, I voted for the blue one with silver stripes. Unfortunately, there wasn't a combination in white that appealed to me. But I believe the result wouldn't have changed the scent profile, as that was already set. A revival of Fleur du Male would have been amazing.
Best, #Chiffre ☕️☀️
