by Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male is a gourmand fragrance with a sweet, fruity opening dominated by juicy pear, mint, and lavender, evolving into a warm, rich vanilla-cinnamon base. It features exceptional longevity and projection, especially on clothing, often lasting over four days. The scent is consistently described as sweet, seductive, playful, and highly noticeable, making it a standout for evening wear, cold weather, and club environments. Many users report frequent compliments and strong attention from others. The fragrance balances its sweet profile with aromatic and spicy notes like clary sage and cinnamon, preventing it from feeling overly cloying. While some find it reminiscent of bubblegum or candy, the dry-down features a powerful, lasting vanilla with a hint of amber and spice. Despite some reports of diminished performance in newer batches, the fragrance is widely regarded as a potent, memorable, and amplifying choice for those seeking a bold, sweet, transformative scent.
