A re-release of Fleur du Male (2007). I assume it will be a reformulation, but it’s likely that Francis Kurkdjian remains the perfumer for this version. Release date: September 10, 2026. The first batch is exclusively online, but a wider release may follow later.

‘Get ready. The missing piece comes back home. Some fragrances disappear. Legends simply take the time to be coveted. Almost 20 years ago a silhouette was missing. Untraceable. Elusive. Yet, some people never forgot it. You always kept asking about it. You have search for it. You have waited. You have asked for its return. Today… something is arising. A legend never reveals itself all at once. You have brought back Gaultier². You have brought back Ma Dame. At Jean Paul Gaultier REEDITIONS never exist for no reason. They resurrect because a community keeps them alive, keeps demanding them and refuses to forget them (…) A lively freshness. A surprising flower. A sensuality that settles without imposing itself. Some will recognize this signature already. The others will have to wait until the next clue.’ – Jean Paul Gaultier (Translated)
