The rebel in uniform.
Le Male Le Parfum reinvents the iconic sailor in a sharper, darker silhouette. This GCMS deconstruction reveals a modern oriental with the swagger of spices and the creamy hum of synthetic musks. Gone is the lavender softness of the original—here, everything is turned up.

A massive dose of Galaxolide and Iso E Super sets the pace, while Ambroxan and Cashmeran sculpt the base into something velvety and carnal. Cardamom, cumin, and elemi ignite the top with fiery warmth, before the scent sinks into orris, coumarin, and vanilla.

This is not nostalgia—it’s seduction in black.

The lavender that launched a thousand knock-offs.
When Le Male debuted in 1999, it didn’t just smell good—it changed everything. Francis Kurkdjian’s first blockbuster blended fougère codes with modern musks, offering something deliciously bold yet tender.

The formula is an olfactory time capsule: Galaxolide and Fixolide create the cloud; mint, cumin, and lavender pulse with tension. A whisper of cinnamon and vanilla smooths the contrast, while Iso E Super ensures projection with polish.

More than a perfume—Le Male is a generational memory in a bottle.
