Jean Paul Gaultier Cologne by Jean Paul Gaultier, The design house of Jean Paul Gaultier launched Le Male cologne in 1995. The now-famous and recognizable Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male perfume succeeds in its appeal to a wide range of men thanks to its unique blend of woody undertones with sharp, oriental scents. This sexy, simple scent is now sometimes colloquially known as the "man in a can" due to its unique packaging.
