Which Should You Buy?
This collector's edition is essentially the original Le Male Elixir in a flashy new outfit. If you're a devoted collector, go for it; otherwise, stick to the tried-and-tested original. Expect robust performance and a divisive take on the minty opening.
A beast-mode performer, Lionheart Man is a proper crowd-pleaser for most, offering undeniable value. Some find the opening a bit harsh, but if you can push past that, you're in for a long-lasting, compliment-grabbing ride.
