Smells Like โ€” Like a sweet pear and lavender pie with cinnamon, vanilla, and a drizzle of amber honey.

Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male is a masculine Eau de Toilette from 2015 that takes everything the original Le Male did well and amplifies it to maximum intensity. Where Le Male whispers sweet nothings, Ultra Male shouts them from the rooftops.

This is a bold, sweet, unabashedly gourmand fragrance that combines pear, lavender, and cinnamon over a rich vanilla base. It is designed to be noticed.

The opening is immediately distinctive with pear leading alongside lavender, mint, bergamot, and lemon. The pear is juicy and slightly sweet, creating an unexpected fruity dimension for a masculine fragrance.

Lavender adds classic masculine freshness, mint provides cooling brightness, and bergamot and lemon contribute citrus energy. This fruity-aromatic opening is what sets Ultra Male apart from the crowd.

The heart dials up the heat with cinnamon, clary sage, and caraway. The cinnamon is warm and prominent, adding a spicy sweetness that becomes the heart's defining character.

Clary sage contributes a dry, slightly musky herbal quality, and caraway adds a subtle anise-like warmth. The combination of sweet fruit from above with warm cinnamon creates something deeply addictive.

The base is pure indulgence with black vanilla husk, amber, patchouli, and cedar. The black vanilla husk is rich, dark, and slightly smoky, different from ordinary vanilla.

Amber adds golden warmth, patchouli contributes earthy depth, and cedar provides woody structure. This base is long-lasting and projects powerfully.

Ultra Male is a fall and winter fragrance that excels during evening wear and social occasions. It is a compliment magnet that projects strongly, so go easy on the sprays.

For men who want to make a bold, sweet impression, Ultra Male delivers with devastating effectiveness.
