Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Male Elixir Absolu Parfum

A seductive evolution of the Le Male DNA, Elixir Absolu is a powerhouse of creamy tonka, juicy plum, and glowing amber with an addictive spicy edge. Not for the shy, this is a statement scent for cool nights and stylish impact.

Our Verdict - Alpha Noir EDP

Alpha Noir chases Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male's pear-and-cinnamon signature closely on the opening, but the vanilla-amber base thins out several hours in, so the addictive, all-night sweetness the original is famous for doesn't fully survive the translation.

Season and Occasion Fit

Le Male Elixir Absolu

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Its dense amber, tonka and spicy character makes this ideal for cold or crisp weather, lending itself best to autumn and winter. The warmth may be cloying in summer but can work in early spring evenings.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

The bold projection and sensual sweetness make it stand out for date nights and formal evenings. It is a bit too assertive for the office or athletic settings, but can work for stylish casual wear.

Alpha Noir

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

The sweet spice and vanilla-amber base is built for cold-weather wear; the fruity mint opening softens it just enough for early autumn evenings, but it's too heavy for summer heat.
