Jean-Paul Gaultier adds a second masculine fragrance in his franchise. Gaultier’s first fragrance ‘Le Male’ was launched in 1994. The name of this new fragrance is a play on Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil), a volume of poetry by Charles Baudelaire. This new scent is a men’s fragrance centrally based on orange blossom.
Fleur du Male created by Francis Kurkdijian, the author of Gaultier’s 1995 debut Le Male, features the notes of white flowers in an intensely floral perfect for the man ‘who has nothing to hide’ according to the company.
According to Women’s Wear Daily, Fleur du Male is a fougere, and Kurkdjian ‘overdosed the orange blossom,’ and used a ‘revisited fern accord, with notes of petigrain leaf and coumarin.’
Like Gaultier’s previous scents for both men and women, Fleur du Male comes in a torso shaped pure white bottle.
Fleur du Male is available as Limited Edition Eau de Toilette 40ml for £27.00, Eau de Toilette 75ml for £35.00, Eau de Toilette 125ml for £47.00 and Deodorant Stick 75g £15.00.
