Le Male Elixir Absolu

I'm heading back to a familiar house today, Jean Paul Gaultier, to try the newest flanker in the Le Male line: Le Male Elixir Absolu. Its predecessor, Le Male Elixir, was a blind buy that, unfortunately, didn't work out as I'd hoped. While I liked it at first, the more I wore it, the more its cloying sweetness became too much. So here I am again, having blind-bought the newest iteration with my fingers crossed. Hopefully, this one proves to be a better investment. Opening: The opening is a complex blend of sweetness, aromatics, and spice. My nose immediately picks up on plum, cinnamon, tonka bean, and lavender, with the tonka bean and lavender taking center stage. True to the Le Male line's DNA, the tonka bean leads with a warm, sweet, and powdery accord. It's similar to the tonka in Le Male Le Parfum, but it feels less overwhelming here because of the other notes that share the spotlight with it. Right behind the tonka is the lavender, which provides a prominently powdery, aromatic quality. The powdery feel from both the tonka bean and lavender creates a striking, almost iris-like accord, similar to what you'd find in a fragrance like Dior Homme Parfum 2025. Next up are the cinnamon and plum. The cinnamon adds a noticeable warmth and spicy sweetness, while the plum lingers in the background with a subtle but persistent fruity accord. Best of all, the sweetness here is balanced, tying it back to the Elixir DNA but without the overpowering honey note. Dry Down: The fragrance's journey continues with a dry down that remains sweet, aromatic, and spicy. The main players are tonka bean, benzoin, cinnamon, and lavender, with the tonka bean and benzoin being the standout notes. The tonka bean maintains its warm, powdery sweetness in equal measure to the opening. Meanwhile, the benzoin moves into the foreground, providing a significant dose of balsamic and vanillic resins. The increased sweetness between these two notes does make the fragrance lean closer to the Elixir DNA. However, even with this new layer of sweetness, the fragrance remains balanced and doesn't become cloying like the Elixir. This is followed by the lavender and cinnamon. The lavender remains a subtly aromatic and powdery presence, while the cinnamon continues to offer hints of its warm spiciness. Performance: The initial projection is very strong and can easily fill a room for the first hour. The sillage is just as intense, leaving a dense and heavy scent trail. After a few hours, the projection is still at least six feet, and the scent trail is easily noticeable. At the 7-8 hour mark, the performance was virtually unchanged. The fragrance lasted until about the 10-12 hour mark when it became a skin scent. When to Wear: Le Male Elixir Absolu is the very definition of a fall/winter fragrance, made for evening wear. While you could wear it casually, its sweet and alluring nature makes it a perfect pick for special occasions like date nights or anniversaries. However, I wouldn't recommend it for the office or anything formal. Blind Buy: If you enjoyed the original Le Male Elixir but found it too sweet, or if the idea of a blend between Le Male Le Parfum and Le Male Elixir appeals to you, this is a safe blind buy. Final Verdict: From the moment I sprayed Elixir Absolu, I knew it was going to be a better fragrance than its predecessor. As someone who loves iris-forward fragrances, the prominent powdery opening immediately won me over. While that quality softened in the dry down as the fragrance leaned more into the Elixir DNA, it remained a far more balanced and enjoyable scent in my opinion. The performance is also a step up, outlasting Elixir by an hour or two. Overall, this was a much more successful blind buy, and I'm happy to have it in my collection. It can definitely see it getting some use once the weather cools down. Scent: 9/10 Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 9/10 Versatility: Average Mass Appeal: High Gender: Masculine Value: Fair

hate > love Someone crown me with the “has accidentally only ever smelled a freshly opened, not yet macerated tester” award because I’ve never had this stark of a switch-up. One of, if not *the* most potent in the male collection, will last you easily 14hr+ which is a very welcome change from the usual scamming that takes place in the series! For example the original Le Male was GONE from my body in one hour. If you held your nose *directly* above the spot I spam-applied the perfume, you maybe caught a slight glimpse of what once barely was, if only heavily tainted by my personal salty-musky body odor. Not this mighty man though! Elixir Absolu is easily noticeable after 12hrs with just one spray, and boy does it throw a punch right out the gate!!! It fucks your nose up with nauseatingly overwhelming top notes !!!!!!! Once you’ve recovered from this gorgeous plumous scent-stroke, it grabs you, who is completely powerless and entirely succumbed to HIS will, picks you up like one would a baby, cradles you with soft notes of tonka, plum, vanilla, and lavender. God, it’s such a beauty and makes a ton of sense to craft a male entry with such an exquisite gourmand focus. I would DRINK this if I could. Will settle to have this permanently on my skin though. Good shit/10 Edit: Performance on a new bottle isn’t the best, maybe 6hrs before it really dies down? Hope to get it to that status one of my friends has it in, his shit really is eternal. notes: plum, tonka, amber, vanilla, milky caramel, musk, mint, lavender, labdanum, cinnamon, cardamom

SCENT PROFILE: like ultramale and the good parts of og le male elixir without the honey,also decreases the sweetness, the plum makes it a bit more versatile and classy and is a little less bold than the original, imagine the thick vanilla of ultramale with the syrupy plum and a heavy dose of cinnamon that replaces the tobacco which i personally enjoy more. I personally love the mix of the notes although the opening is a little off, its defo a top jpg for me. Performance: A beast mode fragrance even in spring, i went to a concert and got compliments 9 hours after i applied it, in the middle of a concert and 9 hours after which is insane, in winter lasts easily 11 plus hours with strong heavy projection, could be a bit cloying in my opinion so keep the amount of sprays low if you're in an enclosed area. Usage: In my opinion, this should be used for special occasions and not used in summer as it is very easily cloying if sprayed too much. I also see it as a substitute for ultramale for clubbing as it has that bubblegummy vibe. Final thoughts: The Kanye Of Fragrances got a flanker but he can actually control his mouth somewhat more is what i'd like to imagine this as, this is definitely a mass appealing fragrances although some guys might dislike it for how strong it is, so i'd suggest sampling, as for me this is Kanye West himself.

When I started getting more interested in fragrances initially while browsing YouTube I felt rather indifferent and even annoyed by the hype around JPG fragrances and also found the campy torso aesthetic grating. Then while visiting Sephora I tried this one out of pure curiosity and supprisingly it won me over enough to get a decant, then a full bottle. It starts with plum lifted by cardamom and bergamot, the herbal notes are perceptible in the heart but during the entire day it is mostly sweet with signature le male elixir base. I find this DNA to be quite hard to dissect note by note, it’s rather something that you know upon smelling. I generally find this this one better than the original elixir, with more balanced and mature profile. It is sweet, but in my nose not in an annoyingly cloying way and is a good winter and evening fragrance. It lasts the entire day and after first hour is pretty linear. After watching the reviews I thought that this one will be an annoyingly sweet and juvenile fragrance, but I’m pleasantly surprised. It is sweet. It smells like a LME flanker, but it’s still something that I can wear in my late 20s and early 30s. IMO if you don’t have original elixir and want to buy one this one is better. If you have it skip this one and buy when the OG runs out.

Finally pulled the trigger on a 125ml bottle last week. This one has been on my radar for a few months—lots of test strips while out shopping. I made sure to really put it through its paces before writing this. Alright so first off, I find more similarities to LMLP than Elixir. I think influencer culture really ran with this “redundant to Elixir” narrative and I simply disagree. In the FAR dry-down are there similarities? Sure. But I would wager that all major Le Male frags dry-down similarly. There is that LMLP iris vibe here I PROMISE you. Anyway, I want to shine light on Absolu rather than vent... this scent is absolutely beautiful. It’s now my favorite Le Male (and my wife’s). There I said it. Le Male Le Parfum will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I currently have a beautiful made in France batch of that one as well. Absolu is here to stay though. The plum is killer and it’s the perfect note to carry this one through pretty much any scenario/season imo. I live on the Gulf Coast. It’s currently averaging around 95 Fahrenheit this summer and I still wear Absolu proudly. I’m mostly in the A/C though so take that for what you shall :) Performance is legendary and the bottle is cool as hell. C-3PO ftw!!!

Between this and Le Male Le Parfum I’ve got my two favorite cold weather fragrances! They definitely are quite similar though. Wow! This stuff is absolutely super sexy! In my opinion it’s quite a bit better than the regular Elixir as well. This is actually a wonderful play on the Elixir, it smells less sweet, rich and juvenile but also still maintains the strong points of the regular elixir. It also ditches the mint which I never liked in these type of scent profiles. I feel mint just takes away from what these types of DNA really are. Lavender, Cardamom bombs. This has a nice smooth masculine edge about it while also being slightly playful. The plum is definitely there but not in an overpowering way, it’s subtle and just reaches out and tickles your nose. Performance is of course phenomenal and you won’t have any trouble with people smelling this on you if that’s something high on your list. I highly recommend this gorgeous fragrance, definitely one of if not my favorite cold weather scents now just right in front of Le Male Le Parfum..

I did a short review on this fragrance a few weeks ago. I have worn this many times now over the course of the last month, and it just keeps getting better & better for me. I love how it smells in the opening and the dry down is equally fantastic for me. I get about 8 hours on skin if I'm well hydrated (plenty of water and lotion routine). I typically hit myself with 8-10 sprays and this seems to leave a nice scent trail but not too overpowering. The thing about this specific fragrance is that I've smelled or tested over 100 fragrances in the last month - nothing compares to this really besides the inspired by 9pm version. For me - it's one of the most beautifully unique fragrance that continues to be extremely addictive. 10/10 and will 100% always be in my top 3.

I keep coming back to this perfect designer fragrance. It’s got something in store for everyone: Le Male Elixir lovers -> minty facets, lavender and a sweet sweet base For the Gents -> very resinous, ambery base notes, fiery benzoin with nuances of a nice mature, earthy patchouli Gourmand enjoyers -> gorgeous mouthwatering tonka bean accord, rich jammy plum in the opening, accompanied by the signature le male spicy cinnamon Fragrantica labels this as “woody” but don’t be fooled! It’s got zero woodiness inside (also no vanilla). Think “mossy bitter ground of a forest”, that’s more like it — if only a slight bit. No, generally, I’d classify this as a sweet fauxgourmand amber with a lot of details waiting to be appreciated by anyone who dares.

What a confusing bunch of shit on here. LME? LMLP? WTF. Almost nothing up there is even close to this scent profile. Some jacked-up olfactory shenanigans taking place... This is better than Le Male Elixir in every single facet. But this smells nothing like it, lots of broken noses here. Also, Le Male Le Parfum smells nothing like this. Also, 9PM Elixir smells nothing like this. Deep in the dry down you could argue a slight resemblance.... If anything in that confusing 'reminds' up there is even close, it's DHP 2025. But this is better. Maybe DHI, but this isn't up to snuff with the quality of DHI. I feel bad for newbs that come to this site for information, since clearly there is a bunch of absolute olfactory fuckery going on here.

I personally like the Absolu version much more than the old Le Male Elixir. The sweetness is more balanced and is not cloying even in closed space. The top notes feel very smooth and sophisticated. The plum note adds good versatility to the scent. Sprayed on my skin lasts easy 10-12h with good projection, afterwards becomes a skin scent but I can still feel it a bit. I prefer not to spray on clothes, since it can last for days. I like the scent very much, is versatile enough for me to be used as go out/office fragrance, yet it has something special that makes you wanna go with it for a date night. I forgot to mention that it gets a lot of compliments. This is one of the best designer releases of past year so far for me.

The opening is very sweet. Too sweet in fact. However, if you can put up with 10 minutes if that, it becomes a fantastic scent. A bit sweet and fruity, but not sticky. A bit spicy, but not harsh. A bit musky, but doesn't give off an old man vibe. Very, very well balanced fragrance for an evening date or a club. The only complaint I have in terms of the notes after the initial opening is that the plum is not prominent enough. When it comes through it's AMAZING, it should come through stronger. It lasts ages, and has strong sillage. Not very versatile, probably too "out there" if you only want like 3 fragrances in your collection, but I think it's probably my favourite evening/cold weather fragrance right now.

Maceration? You need to learn about perfumery instead of watching ytbers and ticktockes. Macetarion is what happens months before the fragrance is bottled and come to stores. The only think that happens when you start applying it on your skin is oxidation, which don't make the perfume better. When you start using a fragrance, many times you think it's gone but it's just olfactive fatigue. And, after a while you apply it again and you notice better performance but it's just the same. It your mind and nose playing tricks on you. Try to talk with other people and see if they can smell you or not. that's a good sign if it has good projection and longevity. But Maceration is just ridiculous...

Nose note #17: After so many times smelling both Le Male Elixir and Elixir Absolú in the store, I finally chose this one. I'm into sweet fragrances, but the honey of the elixir makes it much denser to my taste, and this, on the other hand, shares about 60% of similarities. Le Male Elixir Absolu opens with a strong plum and lavender, and after 3 hours of radiating, becomes so close to Le Male Elixir, but with a touch of animalic note. This is definitely a night fragrance, and pretty much underrated. A mature version of Le Male elixir that has nothing to envy. I maybe miss a boozy opening note, but I overall consider this a really good perfume. Price: 52€, 75 mL Rate: 8/10

Honestly just as a regular guy who just really likes fragrances and has been into them for the past year and a half or so I really like this fragrance and I think it’s very nice ,actually nothing like the original elixir because I strongly disliked it and still do but this is the perfect balance between sweet and spice and it’s suuuuuper strong lasts forever on my skin and can’t get it off my clothes an amazing perfume unless you’re one of those guys who only buy niche and can pick apart notes in fragrances but perfect for your average guy like me.👍(edit) this fragrance lasts so long it’s ridiculous I got 18 hours on this. Projected for 10 hours STRAIGHT.

A loud party fragrance-- however definitely more versatile than its original Elixir counterpart. Absolu is a bit more sophisticated and refined; it tones down the sickening sweetness a little and adds some bergamot and lavender. There is also a noticeable plum note that encapsulates the fragrance in a fruity, inviting blanket. Fantastic longevity (10+ hours on skin, 24 hours on clothes) and sillage can fill a room. However, if you have Elixir, I feel it is redundant to own this one, and vice versa. That being said if you don't own either definitely go with this one. Highly recommend.

This is definetely not following the same route with Le Male Elixir. Just because the names and the bottles seem like they are, everybody got on the same hype but hell no! Elixir is super sweet, ''only'' for cold weathers, brings vanilla and honey to the line of Le Male. However Elixir Absolu brings fruity, green vibes to the line which makes it versatile. Both are fantastic fragrances. But I live in a Mediterrennean country where the cold weather season is maximum 3 months and the rest is hot, warm or chill weather. That's why I prefer Elixir Absolu more and I sure will get it.

Quentin did it again! It is one of the most "sweetest" perfumes I have. But what is beautiful, is that it is clean. No shady residual or skanky elements in. It is... clean, sharp and sweet, with a fresh, almost minty element on the edges. Dense, sweet, powerful. I wouldn't call it elegant but it is more mature than the OG and a bit more deeper than Le Parfum, more complex. I like it and recommend this for 25-30 years old and up. Works perfectly as a "nights out" frag. Excellent and I will definitely repurchase, after my 75ml is going on my winter jackets.

As a 25 y/o male, doesn’t get as much compliments from the ladies as elixir and le beau le parfum, however, it is my personal favourite can’t lie. And the strongest from the jpg line too imo (then them two ^). When it settles it smells like a bonfire on my wrist it’s unreal. Can be very strong at first, cinnamon and plum notes coming through but the woody and ambery notes which come after is the best. I would wear this one for special occasions, for example done it yesterday for New Year’s Eve. Defo better for nighttime and cooler times. 9.4/10

Very rich tonka and plum, juicy, powdery, deep and spicy-because of cinnamon note. This definitely has og le male elixir "core" but, also is different fragrance. I have both and this is not redundant. (after 10 days of testing)EDIT: Complete and amazing perfumery, 2 sprays on the chest and projects moderatley after even 6 hours, not a slight sinthetic hint in the very dry down. You can find a good dupe of Le Male Elixir but, in the future I'm not sure you gonna be able to find any accurate or good dupe of this (Le Male Elixir Absolu).

This is my favourite Jean Paul gautier when it comes to smell. The plum and lavender combins so well with the cinamon which makes it a wonderful fragrance. Though i love the smell of this perfume i dont really wear it that much because i find it hard to find a situation where i can wear it. Its way to strong and sweet to wear to school and i dont see myself wearing it on a LOT of special ocassions. But I do wear it still, even though that, because I just love the scent so much. I would recomend buying it if you like sweet fragrances.

Le Male Elixir Absolu is better for me than the previous flanker (Le Male Elixir). It’s not overly sweet, the opening has this dark, fruity sweetness with a warm spicy vibe that feels really smooth. There’s also a noticeable powdery touch, similar to Le Male Le Parfum, which I love. It never comes across as syrupy. The sweetness is more refined, slightly creamy, and the dry down turns into a dry, woody feel. Performance is insane: beast longevity and very strong sillage in the first 1–3 hours. Total compliment getter. 9/10.

I bought it because I loved the elixir version. And I have to say I'm really surprised in a good way. It's really a twist from the elixir version. You can recognize some notes but it's very different. It opens with a very powdery plum and lavender and when it dries down, it takes that plum with it but sweeter and richer and that powdery feel goes off. That plum is really what makes it stand out It's fresh and not cloying at all, it's perfect for every occasion. But I still have to say that the elixir is my favorite.

I got both this and the OG version on opposite wrists to compare, both my wife and I like this version better. That been said they are very similar in the dry down the only difference this one has more fruity plum nuances and instead sweet honey(which I find cloying in here)-vanilla-tobacco you get more of a plum-cinnamon. Both are similar enough, but for me since I love plum note (even though its not that strong) I much prefer this version. Especially with how popular the other one is, this one is more unique.

I can’t agree more with user @Seby127 that “A flanker is not an attempt to make the OG better but it’s an attempt at making it different” ... Well, he’s absolutely right 👍 I love the first elixir and I love this one too. There’s some difference in the opening and somewhere in the mid because of the fruity plum vibe which I truly love. Other than that, they’re quite similar but I love 😍 them both. Scent is subjective so let’s enjoy the fragrance that gives us our individual olfactory 👃 joy 🤩 💕 10/10 🙌

Woah! I liked this way more than I thought I would. It’s warm and spicy, sure, but there’s this really nice brightness in it that gives it so much personality. This is one of the sexiest scents I’ve sampled. I wore it for a day and I liked it much more than I expected! I absolutely love tonka and lavender taking center stage and this blend gives them a great entourage. This is not a firmly masculine scent in my opinion, this would be really nice on anyone! Rating: 9/10 Blind Buy: Go for it!

I got this the other day and i really like it. the plum in it is very boozy, which transitions nicely into the drydown and is STRONG AF. I got easily 2-3 hours of brilliant projection and more than 16 hours of longevity on clothes. about 9-10 hours on skin and then becomes little intimate. fun fact: i find its dry down a 1:1 to the fragrance world harmony code absolute scent.so for people who want the same scent, it can be that brilliant cheapie, but that is a moderate performer.

This is one of the best perfume I ever had. Very loud, not inviting but tempting for those whose into it. IYKYK. Le Male Elixir is seductive in dominant and arrogant way, While LeMale Absolu is seductive in gentle and comforting way The top note is teasing but calm, not so arrogant. Midnote is comforting, The drydown is animalic, seductive, and addictive. Drydown smells like a dried vagina or smegma something like that, so addictive that You will love smelling it all day. 10/10

I personally LOVE jpg le male le parfum. Only downside of it is the projection.But this absolu smells very similar to le male le parfum. Its even stronger. Only downside is the first hour or so. Smells like pee because of the plum notes. But after that it smells like a stronger version of le male le parfum and i am in love with it. I definitely recommend it if you like le male le parfum and you want a stronger version. Doesnt smell much like elixir tho which i dont mind.

I got the spicy sweetness immediately followed by a boozy note, I thought it had a rum note but that was in the regular Le Male Elixir. Apparently Davana can smell boozy! I then started to get a tart, slightly sour note which can only be the plum. There’s a light airiness to the fragrance from the lavender and it’s rounded off with the sweet tonka bean and benzoin. It’s very nice, well balanced, not super thick. Fruity, sweet, a bit boozy, light and airy.

2/10 because of how similar it is to the original Elixir 10/10 scent though. This is what the original Elixir should've been. The plum note is a nice touch and if you are into fragrances that radiate and last hours, you will love this. In the drydown, it is almost identical to Le Male Elixir so I would suggest buying Absolu over the standard Elixir if you have to choose one. I get better performance and a nicer scent in the opening for my taste.

What a fragrance that is, in my opinion its very good it resembles the original but better and it makes the scent profile fruity like with that amazing plum note. this fragrance is a very compliment getter it has a nice smell and it is not giving headaches at all, at least for me and for the people around me. this is one of my favourite fragrance in my collection and i do really recommend it to people who like sweet type of scent in fragrances.

MUCH better than its predecessor which is GOOD. However, this flanker is richer, denser sweeter, more complex, masculine and performance is outstanding. This is an excellent fall/winter fragrance with tons of grown man swag! Extremely blind buy safe! I am happy I didn't listen to the "negative" YouTube reviews about this flanker and smelled it for myself. This is probably one of my best designer fragrance purchases this year! 10/10

BROO THIS SHIT SO GOOD, It smells like le male elixir but made more mature and grown up, I smell the plum vanilla iris woods and some sweet notes, i also get a tad bit of honey. The longevity is 12+ hours and the sillage is very good for the first 4-5 hours, it's very good for dates and going out and it's quite unique in my opinion. Overall rating: Performance: 9/10 Smell: 10/10 Uniqueness: 7-8/10 Versatility: 6/10

In my opinion this feels like the perfect mix between Le Male Le Parfum and le male elixir it's more powdery and richer. You get the sweet plum, creamy vanilla and tonka with a powdery ambrette twist and soft davana, but it’s deeper and more seductive. Performance is insane easily 10+ hours with strong projection. It's sexy, and gets compliments without trying too hard. JPG really leveled up with this one. 11/10

its very nice flanker if original one is honey-minty sweet this is like big brother, its still very sweet but like plum-sweet in my opinion this one is a bit mature fragrance but still will suit young playboy that wanna grab attention. Excellent performance and sillage,best for night occasion with some cheeks around), I wouldnt say its very blind buy safe but still mass apelling. Overall nice juice)!

I’ve tried both and actually prefer Elixir Absolu over the OG. It feels smoother, more well-blended, and less overwhelming, while the original comes across as a bit too much for me. Don’t mind the hate you see here or on Reddit; fragrance is completely subjective. What works for me might not work for you, so the best thing you can do is try both and decide which one suits your taste.

Smells amazing, like Le Male Elixir and Ultramale had a baby, it removes the honey and adds this addictive PLUM note, making it have a fruity-sweet nuance. However, once dried down, the plum note sort of fades away, making it smell like the original Elixir, which could make it redundant to own both. Performance is BEASTMODE. More than the original, I got around 14 hours of longevity.

Did a test spray of this recently to try out some different scents I don’t usually go for and this did not disappoint! The opening plum smell was gorgeous, drying down to a really rich, creamy scent with the tonka. Left it on overnight to test the longevity and it was genuinely the first thing I smelt when I woke up. Great projection, great longevity, great scent🫶

Blind bought this. I wanted to return it after the first sniff. I even put it on a marketplace the same day. It was too sweet for me. Fast forward to today, this is the favoriute fragrance from my collection. No idea if my nose was overloaded when first tried this, but the scent is amazing. I even spray it at night before bed from time to time, just to feel good

a very unique masculine perfume! its very sweet but doesnt feel all that feminine. i dislike gendering perfumes but i also understand the worries some trans people may have. really nice going out perfume, but i also like to wear it daily at times as its not *too* strong. the longevity is nice and the sillage doesnt disappoint either! i recommend 100%!!!!

(after 10 days of testing)EDIT: Complete and amazing perfumery, 2 sprays on the chest and projects moderatley even after 6 hours, not a slight sinthetic hint in the very dry down. You can find a good dupe of Le Male Elixir but, in the future I'm not sure you're gonna be able to find any accurate or good dupe of this (Le Male Elixir Absolu).

i used to love the og le male and it was my fav jpg but elixir absolu takes the cake honestly it’s super nice the perfect everyday winter scent or fall scent it’s not as sweet borderline nauseating and intrusive, the plum is super nice and pleasant it leans sweet to fruity with tonka bean, this is le male elixir’s mature brother 8.5/10

Love this cologne. Smells like ultra male, Le parfum, and elixer all combined. The fruit from ultra male, sophistication from Le parfum, and the base from Le male elixer. Can wear this all seasons but summer id imagine, and performance is solid. Is this redundant to have? Maybe but I would say no because it’s kind of its own thing .

Personally not really a big fan of the plum note in the opening but I really like the vanilla dry down of this. It’s a super strong scent good projection and good sillage. However I will say I like the regular elixir better. This is a good winter signature scent and it’s not nearly as popular as the regular elixir. Overall 7/10

Overall I like the smell of the OG elixir more but this is a lot more wearable imho. Not as heavy sweet and the plum note brightens it up a lot. Def more balanced. If I had to only have 1 I’d likely pick the OG because in situations where I would wear this one, I’d just wear Le Male LP which imho is the GOAT Le Male.

I love the elixir and still think this is a superior fragrance. The mix of plum and the slight powdery-ness of the tonka thatcomes out as it dries down is beautiful. It doesn't have that screechy honey note that the original has. Also, how is this not compared to Scandal Absolu? They smell quite similar.

NO. No more. Please. Just no. Please stop. Please. ...Remember when we were joking about this shit like a year ago? 'hahaha wait bruh they're gunna come out with an absolu elixir extrait intense!' Someone at JPG was like 'those folks over on fragrantica are onto something' As I vomit in a trash can.....

I actually really liked this one. Yes it smells fairly similar to elixir, but the fruity plum note differentiates the two. This is a mix of le male and elixir. The first spray smells funny,like play do kinda. But after that it smells great. Buy if u don't have either le male or elixir. 9/10

Extremely beautiful fragrance, the juice is amazing in my opinion. Sweet but not to sweet, loud but not to loud. Works for most occasions while I wouldn’t picked the OG. This one is better and milder in my opinion while still strong. Well done JPG, making a better version of a best seller.

Let me tell ya, this is the best thing I have smelt in my life, I am currently testing this and I sprayed it on my hand it smells magnificent. The plum, the honey, the cinammon it all blends together really well. My brother says this is average but for me this is a masterpiece.
