The original: Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male EDT
Francis Kurkdjian's spicier gourmand reinterpretation of Le Male -- pear-cinnamon-vanilla trajectory (same perfumer as Baccarat Rouge 540).
| Dupe | Match | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Rayhaan Lion | 91% | $30 |
| Afnan 9PM | 87% | $30 |
Ultra Male EDT retails around $105.
How we score. Every percentage comes from cross-referencing note pyramids against Fragrantica and brand-official sources, then weighting what people who own both fragrances actually report. We don't publish anything below 85%, and we say when something barely clears.
#1Rayhaan Lion
Shares with the original: Pear, Lavender, Mint, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Amber
Note pyramid nearly identical to Ultra Male EDT with all signature molecules present (pear, lavender, mint, cinnamon, vanilla, amber). Parfumo dedicated review rates it 95%+, community consensus consistently names Lion as the top-tier Ultra Male dupe. TheperfumesRoom and BeautyHouse editorials both confirm target. Small compositional shift: lavender-forward balance vs. Ultra Male's pear-dominant character. Critical voices frame complaints as 'too synthetic' or 'too popular now,' not similarity denial.

#2Afnan 9PM
Shares with the original: Bergamot, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Amber, Musk
Universal community consensus. Same Francis Kurkdjian DNA family (same perfumer as BR540). Apple opening vs Ultra Male's pear is primary difference -- indistinguishable after 20 minutes on skin per most reviewers. 8-12 hour longevity at $30 retail.
