What Is Intelligent Platinum a Dupe Of?

Intelligent Platinum is a clone of Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male. We rate the similarity at 84%. The shared idea is fruity freshness, lavender and cinnamon over a sweet vanilla base, with Platinum choosing a different fruit for its opening.

Why Ultra Male?

Ultra Male's profile starts with pear, lavender, mint, bergamot and lemon. Cinnamon, clary sage and caraway sit in the heart, while black vanilla husk, amber, patchouli and cedar form the base. It's a specific combination of fruit, aromatic notes, spice and sweetness.

Platinum includes lavender and bergamot at the top, cinnamon and clary sage in the middle, then vanilla, amber and patchouli underneath. Those shared notes explain the comparison across more than just the opening spray. The vanilla, cinnamon and aromatic ingredients are useful points to follow as the fragrances develop.

The pineapple difference

Platinum lists pineapple in its opening, alongside lavender, bergamot and pink pepper. Ultra Male lists pear instead. Platinum also includes mandarin orange in its heart and uses the broader label woody notes in its base. These aren't the same pyramids, even when the overall direction feels familiar.

Our 84% score reflects that balance of resemblance and difference. If pear is the part you love most about Ultra Male, the pineapple opening is something to try for yourself. Sharing vanilla and amber doesn't mean the sweetness, texture or strength will match at every stage.

Which Gaultier is the reference?

This is Ultra Male Eau de Toilette Intense, rather than the original Le Male, Le Male Le Parfum or Le Male Elixir. They're all separate fragrances, and Platinum's comparison shouldn't be transferred to the rest of the line.
