1) Jean Paul Gaultier: Le Male EDT

This runaway best-seller covers the 1995s' sense of uncompromising masculinity, with a daring move towards sweeter fragrances for men. Le Male, a design by Francis Kurkdjian that drew inspiration from the designer's fascination for sailors, starts with the distinct fresh spice of mint. The keynotes of cardamom and bergamot then act as mood enhancers.

With a clean blend of lavender, powdery cinnamon, and warm vanilla, this 90s EDT comes in an attractive-looking glass bottle, which is worth being appreciated for the quirky design alone.

Price: $74.61 (Amazon)

2) Jean Paul Gaultier: Fleur Du Male Eau de Cologne

JPG's Le Male franchise took a different direction with this 2007-launched male EDC. This scent is strong on the florals and draws inspiration from French poet Baudelaire's collection of poetry, Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil).

With a large dose of bitter petitgrain, citrus, neroli, and honeyed orange blossom, chamomile mingles with the powdery, grassy synthetic coumarin, and a pinch of fragrant basil.

3) Jean Paul Gaultier: Kocorico EDT

Resounding the French word for a rooster’s cry, "cock-a-doodle-doo," this masculine EDT, crafted by Olivier Cresp and Annick Menardo, exudes an arresting aroma.

With key notes of fig leaf, raw cacao, and earthy patchouli, this 2011-released EDT balances all with a sweet aroma and earthiness. With the woody undertones of cedar and vetiver, the sweeter Kokorico By Night EDT is also worth considering for your perfume collection.

Price: $95 (Amazon)

4) Jean Paul Gaultier: Ultra Male EDT Intense

This Francis Kurkdjian-created and 2015-launched men's EDT is a spicier and fruity take on the faimilar scent, that keeps the fragrant elements alive.

With lots of sweet and juicy pear aquatic freshness, its citrus notes of bergamot, lemon, and mint add a touch of crisp greenery, while lavender has a clean aroma. Loamy patchouli complements the warm undertones of cinnamon and the vanilla-dominant dry-down to create a rich, woodsy, and powdery flavor.

Price: $109 (Amazon)

5) Jean Paul Gaultier: Le Male Essence De Parfum EDP Intense

Certainly one of the favored Le Male EDPs, Quentin Bisch's 2016-released perfume is an aromatic treat from start to finish.

The opening notes of cardamom, black pepper, bergamot, and artemisia are layered with a creamy leather accord that mixes with lavender and spicy cinnamon. The EDP dries down with vanilla, laced with a sensual and musky aroma.

Price: $249 (Amazon)
