JPG Ultra Male

Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male opens with blackcurrant leaf and cardamom in a tart, slightly sharp pairing that immediately signals the bolder ambitions of this intensified masculine — the blackcurrant leaf lending a fresh, slightly green quality that keeps the opening from feeling too heavy.

Cactus, iris, and lavender form a heart that is simultaneously fresh and surprisingly complex — the cactus accord adding a succulent, slightly watery note, the iris cooling and refining, the lavender aromatic and grounding. Ultra Male is more interesting than its predecessor and the more rewarding for it.

Vanilla, tonka bean, and sandalwood create a base that is sweet, warm, and very long-lasting. Ultra Male is for those who found the original Le Mâle exactly right in personality but wanted everything turned up — a bolder declaration of the same confident masculinity.
