[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Not as good as the elixir. Strong, but not much in terms of complexity. May need to let it macerate for a while before revisiting, but it has a dry down of strong baby powder.

Must Have!!

Loved the smell. All the notes are great. The one that stood out is Lavender(typically after 3 hours) Bound to get compliments !! Lasts all day.

Interesting

Scent Strength: Le Male Elixir Absolu is a powerhouse in terms of strength. It opens with a rich and bold combination of warm amber, sweet tonka bean, and smoky vanilla, deepened by hints of incense and spices. This is a darker, more intense evolution of the original Le Male DNA, and it leans heavily into the oriental-ambery territory. Sillage: The sillage is impressive—this fragrance leaves a bold, lingering trail that grabs attention. A couple sprays are more than enough to fill a room, especially during the initial few hours. It’s one of those scents that people will definitely notice when you walk by. Projection: Projection is equally strong in the first 3-4 hours, radiating several feet off the skin. After that, it settles a bit closer, but still maintains a noticeable presence. For those who love fragrances that command space without being offensive, this one delivers. Packaging: The packaging stays true to the classic Jean Paul Gaultier style—sculpted torso bottle—but it features a darker, richer gradient that signals its intense and sensual nature. The metallic finish and deep hues give it a luxurious and seductive feel. Versatility: While it excels in cooler weather and nighttime wear—think fall, winter, date nights, or upscale evenings—it’s less suited for hot or highly casual settings. It’s a bold, mature scent that thrives in intimate or special occasions rather than everyday use. Final Thoughts: Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir Absolu is a statement fragrance: powerful, seductive, and rich. If you enjoy fragrances with serious presence and a seductive warmth, this is a great pick for your collection.

Worth it!

Now this is a great flanker. A step up from Le Male Elixir. Incredible silage, phenomenal projection, strong scent, gorgeous classic packaging, all the while still being versatile in the cold weather. Plum, spice, and vanilla. 10/10. Product received in exchange for review.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] An interesting offering from JPG. It is somewhat similar to the other Le Males on offer. Initially, you get a strong pineapple scent and the dry down has more of a plum smoky profile I would say the scent is very strong and projects quite powerfully. Perhaps three sprays is too many. At the current price point I don’t know if this is a value buy, and I don’t know that I would recommend this over other Le Male’s, as this is not really my scent profile. Still a decent choice if you can get it on sale.

Must have

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is my first JPG cologne and I am absolutely loving it! It has a really nice mellow sweet opening and dries down into a very warm roasted scent. The longevity was fantastic I could smell it on my arm after a full day of work and got so many compliments! I think this would be really great for a spring and summer evening dinner.

Unmatched Depth and Charisma – A New Classic

Le Male Elixir Absolu by Jean Paul Gaultier is a masterpiece. It takes the iconic DNA of the original and elevates it to a whole new level of sophistication. The blend of rich vanilla, smooth lavender, and warm tonka bean creates a captivating, long-lasting scent that exudes confidence and charm. Perfect for both nights out and special occasions, this elixir is a must-have for anyone looking to stand out. The projection and longevity are outstanding, making it worth every penny. Truly a 5-star fragrance!

Winter Cologne

This fragrance is pure fire — literally and figuratively. The **projection** is insane; you spray this once and people will notice you from across the room. It radiates confidence and sensuality in the best way possible. I wore it on a chilly evening out and the **sillage** left a trail that had people turning heads all night. In terms of **scent strength**, this is a powerhouse. Just 2-3 sprays are enough to last over 8 hours, especially on clothes. The amber-spiced warmth hits hard initially, then mellows into a creamy sweetness with a seductive depth. **Versatility**-wise, I’d say this leans more toward colder months and nighttime events. It’s bold, luxurious, and not something I’d wear to the office or on a hot summer day — but for dates, parties, or any special evening, it’s absolutely perfect. And the **packaging design**? Wow. The golden torso bottle is a stunner. It’s like holding a piece of art — radiant, luxurious, and it commands attention just sitting on your shelf. Overall, Le Male Elixir Absolu is not just a scent, it’s a statement. If you're looking to leave a lasting impression, this is it.

New standout

I received this product for free from Influenster and brand Jean Paul Gaultier in exchange for my honest review. So far, I’m enjoying wearing JPG Elixir Absolu. The plum note stands out right away—dark, juicy, and slightly sweet, but not overly feminine. It adds a rich, smooth vibe that feels bold and confident. As it dries down, it gets a lot warmer with just enough sweetness to stand out without being too much. It’s a unique scent I reach for when I want to make an impression. The performance is good, lasting 8-9 hours with 3-4 hours of strong projection.

Warm & Spicy = Irresistible

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Jean-Paul Gaultier does it again! Fantastic scent that has a warm and spicy tone that doesn't have an overbearing projection. You tend to have to reapply this cologne halfway through the day but is something you can wear to work and a night out. The packaging is elegant and is unique to the industry.

Warm, bold, and long-lasting – a standout

I received this fragrance for free in exchange for my honest review—and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve tried a few from the Le Male line before, but this one really stands out. It’s warm, sweet, and a little smoky, with a rich vanilla and amber vibe that feels perfect for fall and winter. It’s definitely more intense and deeper than the original Le Male—more grown-up and bold. I wouldn’t call it an everyday scent (probably a bit too strong for work), but for a night out, a date, or cooler weather, it’s spot on. The staying power is great too—it lasted all day on my skin with no need to reapply. I’ve already had compliments while wearing it, and the bottle looks awesome on my shelf—classic but with a luxe twist. Rating: 9/10 If you like warm, sexy scents that last, this one’s worth checking out. Glad I got to try it!
