Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Male Elixir Absolu
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Elixir Absolu Intense
Elixir Absolu Intense follows Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir Absolu, the smoother, plummier evolution of the gourmand powerhouse. The dark plum opening over lavender, tonka and benzoin reads recognisably, though the dupe flattens the refined balsamic depth and fades faster than the original.
