Description
Description
Ultra Male EDT Intense is the louder, sweeter, longer-lasting evolution of the Ultra Male signature — a dark-lavender-and-vanilla powerhouse built for the night.
Created by celebrated perfumer Francis Kurkdjian for French fashion house Jean Paul Gaultier and launched in 2015, it reinterprets the brand's iconic masculine DNA into something richer and more addictive. Juicy pear and cool mint open over dark lavender before a creamy vanilla-amber base takes over. Reviewers consistently call it a “beast-mode” nightlife scent — sweet, warm, and hard to ignore.

Translation: a sweet, gourmand-leaning fragrance lifted by a fresh pear-and-mint top, warmed by cinnamon spice and a soft lavender-floral edge, then grounded in creamy woods.
Fragrance Pyramid

Performance
Longevity: Strong — expect roughly 8–10 hours on skin, often longer on clothing. This is the high-performance “Intense” flanker, and reviewers widely rate its staying power as above average.
Sillage: Strong, especially in the first few hours — it announces itself in a room.
Projection: Bold up close and through the opening, settling into a warmer, skin-following sweetness later in the wear.
Best Occasions & Season
Best for Evening and Night Out wear, and at its finest in Fall and Winter when its sweet, warm character shines.
A masculine fragrance, though its sweet-gourmand profile is enjoyed across the board.
