Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male is the sweet, apple-and-vanilla nightclub scent that's been pulling compliments — and clearing dance floors — for years. It runs $90-plus, which is exactly why it's one of the most-cloned sweet masculines out there, and one clone got so close it became famous in its own right. These 2 are the Ultra Male dupes worth owning — with Ultra Male itself featured at the top if you'd rather have the JPG.

9PM

AfnanEDP

“Apple, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla — Ultra Male's addictive nightclub sweetness, cloned closely.”
9PM

Afnan 9PM is the clone that made everyone take budget houses seriously, and it tracks Ultra Male's sweet, addictive DNA closely — an apple-and-cinnamon opening over lavender and orange blossom, then the same rich vanilla-tonka-and-amber base. Thousands of people own both and report the same thing: side by side, they can't reliably tell them apart.

It actually projects a little harder than the JPG, so if anything you get more scent for less. At $20–$30 it's one of the most accurate — and most-owned — dupes ever made. See the full breakdown.

Glacier Ultra

Maison Alhambra

“Cinnamon and pepper over lavender and sweet vanilla-amber — the Ultra Male vibe for pocket change.”
Glacier Ultra

Glacier Ultra is the rock-bottom-price way into the Ultra Male world — a cinnamon-pepper-and-lemon opening over lavender and clary sage, finished with the same sweet vanilla-amber-and-cedar base. It leans a touch cooler and spicier than 9PM, but it lands in the same sweet, crowd-pleasing territory.

It's a little softer on projection than the original, so spray with confidence. At $15–$25 it's the cheapest honest shot at the JPG — an easy, low-risk blind buy. See the full breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best JPG Ultra Male dupe?

Afnan 9PM is the best Ultra Male dupe — a near-exact match for the sweet apple-cinnamon-and-vanilla DNA, for around $35 versus $90-plus, and it projects even harder than the original. Maison Alhambra Glacier Ultra is the cheaper, spicier alternative at around $20.

Does Afnan 9PM smell like Ultra Male?

Yes — very closely. 9PM reproduces Ultra Male's signature: an apple-and-cinnamon opening, a soft lavender heart, and a rich vanilla-tonka-and-amber base. Owners of both routinely say they can't reliably tell them apart, and 9PM performs just as well or better.

How much does an Ultra Male dupe cost?

Around $20 to $35 on Amazon, versus roughly $80 to $110 for Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male itself. The clones deliver the same sweet, addictive nightclub scent for a fraction of the designer price.

Is JPG Ultra Male worth it over the dupes?

Ultra Male is a little smoother and better blended, so fans of it won't regret the original. But Afnan 9PM gets so close — and projects so well — that for most people the dupe is the smarter buy, especially as a party scent you'll spray liberally.
