Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir was released in 2023, a flanker to the original classic Le Male. Created by Quentin Bisch, it has notes of lavender, mint, vanilla, benzoin, honey, tonka bean and tobacco. This is a parfum.
From the brand - "The new sailor Le Male Elixir will induce burning cravings and drive your senses crazy. Burning desire spreads with the irresistible notes of fresh lavender, warming tonka bean, and gentle benzoin. With a gilded torso, this fiery novelty from Jean Paul Gaultier embodies radiant power and seductive charisma. It is finished! You melt away with burning desire. This intense fragrance ignites the fire of the senses on his upper body and gives the soft skin a burning sensuality. After a refreshing breeze of mint, the tide rises to addiction, becoming a glowing elixir. In this breath of fresh air, dashing lavender quickly takes on lusty proportions, enhanced by the balsamic richness of benzoin with syrupy vanilla accents. The tonka bean trumps with its warm and sweet tones between honey and tobacco. The time has come: You jump! Radiant at first sight, glowing with masculinity, more fiery than ever. The torso is bursting with muscles, the skin is bathed in copper color by the sinking sun. What a Gaultier body... what accomplished style. Finely chiseled grooves stand out on its muscles dipped in gold and merge with the amber stripes of the sailor shirt, which plays with transparency effects in a highly sexy way.
Fragrantica - "Just imagine dunking your head in a bucket of honey and sugar to proceed to walk into a large room with lit cigars"
Fragrantica - "Perfect for winter time, sweet blast of lavender, honey and vanilla with a bit of smokiness in the dry down. Smells edible. My most complimented fragrance. Amazing fragrance with amazing performance."
Fragrantica - "pg Elixir is my signature for a reason, it is perfect for cold winter days and is the most sexy fragrance of the line. Not to mention the longevity and silage are enormous, I mean you can smell this thing weeks after spraying it on clothes, even through the wash. I love the subtle tobacco note and how all the notes are blended in a perfect concoction of honey, vanilla, and lavender. Sometimes I get up from my bed at midnight to give this a whiff."
Fragrantica - "Someone at work asked me if I knew what heaven smelled like. I told 'em I don't know but if I had to guess then layer Le Male Elixir with Le Beau Le Parfum and it's close enough."
Fragrantica - "This turned into my new favourite of the Le Male line. Previously Le Parfum, this just smells richer and less dark. Le Parfum is a darker scent imo, which is better suited for purely getting laid. This feels more of a gentleman-scent compared to, and would work better during the daytime for fall/winter than Le Parfum for me, as that one leans more night-time."
