Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum Decant

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Le Parfum decant, hand-decanted from an original retail bottle into a leak-proof metal atomizer. Available in 5ml, 10ml, and 20ml, so you can live with the warmest, most grown-up version of Le Male before paying full-bottle money for it.

Sizes & how long they last

Le Parfum is an Eau de Parfum Intense — two or three sprays is enough for most people, so a decant will usually go further than the table suggests.

Le Male Le Parfum Notes

• Top: Cardamom
• Middle: Lavender, iris
• Base: Vanilla, oriental notes, woodsy notes

What it actually smells like

Cardamom opens it — dry and slightly green, not sweet — and then the familiar Le Male lavender arrives with iris softening it into something powdery and expensive-smelling. The dry-down is where it earns the "Le Parfum" name: vanilla, warm resins and woods that sit close to the skin and stay there. It is the same character as the original, dressed properly.

Le Male vs. Le Male Le Parfum: which one is this?

This is Le Parfum (2020), the Eau de Parfum Intense. The original Le Male EDT opens on mint and reads clean and soapy; Le Parfum drops the mint entirely, opens on cardamom, and builds a lavender-iris heart over vanilla and warm woods. It is darker, smoother and noticeably longer-lasting than the blue-bottle original.

Where it sits in the Le Male range

Le Parfum is the refined, woody-vanilla end of the line. If you want the sweeter, honeyed take, that is Le Male Elixir; if you want the loudest and heaviest of them all, that is Le Male Elixir Absolu. Trying all three as 5ml decants costs a fraction of one bottle.

If the powdery iris is what you are after

The iris-over-vanilla-and-woods structure is the most copied part of this fragrance. If that is the bit you like, Al Wataniah Kayaan Classic is built on the same idea at a small fraction of the price — powdery iris and leather over sandalwood, vanilla and amber. It is less refined through the transition, but it covers the same ground for office and formal wear.

Who It's For

• Evenings out and date nights (2–3 sprays)
• Office and daily wear through winter (2 sprays)
• Weddings and festive occasions
• Cooler weather — the vanilla and woods base shows best in the cold

Le Male Le Parfum Decant: FAQ

How many sprays are in a 10ml Le Male Le Parfum decant?
A 10ml decant gives approximately 160 sprays — around 32 wears at five sprays each. Actual usage varies with spray strength and atomiser output; see our FAQ page for all sizes.

Is this decant 100% authentic Jean Paul Gaultier?
Yes. Every decant is hand-filled from an original retail bottle, never mixed or diluted. See our authenticity page for our full sourcing process.

What is the difference between Le Male and Le Male Le Parfum?
Le Parfum is the Eau de Parfum Intense — no mint, a cardamom opening, a lavender-iris heart, and a vanilla-and-woods base. It is warmer, richer and lasts longer than the original Eau de Toilette.

How long does Le Male Le Parfum last on skin?
Most wearers get 8–10 hours, with the vanilla-woods base lingering close to the skin well after the opening has gone.

Is it too heavy for Indian summers?
It is happier in cooler weather. In peak summer, one or two sprays is plenty — the vanilla base gets heavy fast in the heat.

When will my order arrive?
Orders are dispatched on the second business day after confirmation (Sundays excluded), then delivered in 5–7 business days via Delhivery, Blue Dart or Amazon Shipping. Tracking is shared after dispatch — see our shipping policy.
