Le Male Essence de Parfum
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Essence de Parfum smells like a pencil shaving, sharpened in a library, with bergamot laid over the top.

How it moves
Up top: bergamot, cardamom and mint. Enjoy them; they will not stay. By the half hour it has become sandalwood, lavender and cypress. Last to go: Tonka Bean, vanilla, cedar and musk.
Who made it
Quentin Bisch composed it in 2016, for Jean Paul Gaultier in France. A woodier, drier interpretation of Le Male built around sandalwood and tonka rather than the original's mint and vanilla.
