Jean Paul Gaultier's Ultra Male Intense is a true masterpiece of the perfume world. Since its debut in 2015 it has won many hearts with its bold character and its sweet, spicy charm. Ultra Male Intense shows brilliantly how one fragrance can be nostalgic and innovative at the same time. It is more than just a perfume – it is an experience.

Rethinking tradition

In 2015 Jean Paul Gaultier launched a fragrance that paid tribute to the brand's iconic Le Male, yet stood entirely on its own. Ultra Male Intense is much more than a new version – it is a new chapter in perfume history. The acclaimed perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who also created the original Le Male, added a playful, modern sweetness to traditional masculinity, proving that masculinity can be multifaceted and contemporary.

The fragrance is made for men who are open to new experiences and dare to stand out from the crowd. Ultra Male Intense is like a journey that takes its wearer into an unexpected, spicy and sweet world of scent that leaves no one indifferent.

A symphony of scents: the notes of a masterpiece

Ultra Male Intense is built like a layered symphony of scent in which every note tells its own story. The aroma unfolds gradually, creating a complex and irresistible olfactory experience.

- Top notes: the scent journey begins fresh and fruity, with bergamot, pear, lavender, mint and lemon. The classic blend of lavender and mint familiar from Le Male gains a touch of fruity freshness in the form of pear. It is like a light, fresh summer breeze that makes the wearer shine.

- Heart notes: at the heart of the fragrance a bold, warm spiciness awakens. Cinnamon, clary sage and cumin add depth and an intriguing character to the perfume. These notes create a harmonious balance between sweetness and spice, inviting the wearer to discover the deeper layers of the scent.

- Base notes: Ultra Male finishes its story with a rich, warm drydown. The combination of black vanilla pod, amber, patchouli and cedarwood creates a scent that stays on the skin for a long time. The sweetness of vanilla and the warmth of amber form a gourmand finish that any sweet tooth will love.

Character and charm: the appeal of sweet modernity

Ultra Male stands out in the perfume world for its unique sweetness. It is hard to mistake for any other fragrance. It is youthful, energetic and full of joie de vivre. If you are looking for a scent that turns heads and leaves a lasting impression, Ultra Male is the right choice.

The fragrance has very good longevity, and its sillage is impressive too. It is an ideal choice for evening events or moments when you want to leave a memorable impression. Ultra Male is versatile enough to suit both a luxurious party night and a relaxed date.

More than a scent: iconic design meets maritime inspiration

Jean Paul Gaultier does not stop at a superb fragrance – he also puts great emphasis on the design of the bottle. Ultra Male comes in the torso-shaped bottle that has brought the brand fame over the years. The dark glass bottle features stripes inspired by the sailor's shirt, which bring to mind the sea and adventure.

The design is eye-catching and gives a luxurious impression. It is not just a bottle – it is a decorative piece that adorns any dressing table. Ultra Male is not currently in ESSENSA's selection, but you can find the original Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male EDT 75 ml from the same legendary line, and the sweeter Le Male Elixir, in the ESSENSA online shop.
