Le Male Elixir - Parfum - Duftnoter af lavendel, tonkabønne og benzoe

Either a powerful pleasant fragrance or to some a

I received this promotional sample from Jean Paul Gaultier in exchange for my incentivized opinion. JPG Le Male Elixir is a strong sweet and smokey fragrance, it has the power of most of the fragrances of this house and more, it last forever on your skin and clothes (I would say like 3 days) or can still notice it after showering the next day you sprayed it on your skin. The opening has a prominent sweet honey note that dissipates to bring the benzoine and lavender and ends in a dry down of smokiness with tobacco and the vanilla. I personally loved/hated this fragrance, I normally don't like benzoine in fragrances and in this one it makes it smell like a toilet cleaner, not bad but I don't feel it pleasant. I did not know what to think about it, if it was just too sweet or not, for the mature or much more for the young crowd (leaning towards the young ones) and I got less compliments than complaints of it being a stinkbomb. It is a fragrance for fall/winter.

Too sweet for my preference

I enjoyed receiving this as a sample. Personally for me I don’t think I would buy the full size bottle as it came off a little too sweet for me. You can definitely get the hints of vanilla. I didn’t get much lavender which was a plus for me but may not be of others likings. I enjoyed sampling this but I tend to stay away from sweeter scents.

Not worth it…

This elixir smells just like jpg edp. However, my biggest gripe is that this scent seems very weak in projection for an elixir. Don’t get me wrong it has great durability and longevity but not much power, in terms of projection. I think this elixir would make a great date night fragrance for the fall months but not potent enough for winter months, making it rather redundant. Not really versatile, making it a tacky fragrance release.

Perfect winter scent

Such a warm and amazing scent. I feel like it’s warm, a bit vanilla and can be unisex. It’s a great scent for winter. I also looked up the full size bottle, it’s very sleek and cool looking. I’ve been able to smell myself all through the house though I used the cologne yesterday.

The Le male scent reimagined for the evening

Wow, the honey and tobacco combination is amazing. The sweetness of the fragrance is intoxicating. This is more of an evening scent and the projection is immense and it leaves a pleasant scent cloud as you walk. I get longevity of about 7 hours on my skin

Warm, Sexy Sophistication in a Bottle

Le Male Elixir strikes me as a more mature and sophisticated take on the classic, with that warm mix of vanilla, honey, and resin giving it a deep, sexy pull in the cold. The freshness up top keeps it from feeling heavy, but once it settles, it turns into this cozy, inviting scent that feels perfect for a night out or a close, intimate date. It has that confident, slightly daring vibe without trying too hard, and the rich sweetness really blooms in chilly air. For me, it’s one of those fragrances that feels both dressed-up and sensual at the same time—exactly what I’d reach for when I want something undeniably sexy but still refined.

Worth it to try

The design on the poster looks good. The scent is strong and last pretty long. I’ve never used this brand before but it’s definitely worth it. My wife loves it

deep, warm blend of spices and dark woods

At first spray it hits with this deep, warm blend of spices and dark woods, a kind of richness that feels confident but not loud. As it settles, it softens into a creamy, slightly sweet musk that hugs the skin in a smooth, velvety way. I find myself reaching for it when I want something that feels elegant but still a bit raw, like I’m both dressed up and grounded. It lasts impressively well, even after a full day I catch subtle whispers of scent when I move or when someone gets close. It’s not shy, but it doesn’t scream either. It’s exactly the right balance between bold and wearable, especially when I want my presence to register without over‑announcing itself.

Amazing scent, I love it

This cologne smells amazing and the scent is very long lasting. I have to save it for special occasions since it is a very masculine scent but not overpowering. In the clothing the scent last until I wash it.

I like it

Tried Le Male Elixir and wow — this one is warm, sweet, and super smooth. Tonka and vanilla hit right away, with a sexy lavender vibe. It’s strong, lasts long, and smells really good on the skin. Definitely a cozy, attractive scent.

Sophisticated male fragrance

This male fragrance has a deep spicy and sophisticated vibe that’s good for both daytime and date nights. There’s an oriental vibe that gives it a little bit more depth than some of the other flankers in this line and this can be worn for special occasions that require you to smell good well also maintaining longevity.

I love it

Such a sleek scent from a beautiful fragrance. I love it and wish I had more. It’s versatile for any event or situation. Smooth and goes on beautifully. Highly recommend
