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 - Male Absolu
Male Absolu takes after Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir Absolu, the smoothest, plummiest evolution of the gourmand powerhouse. The dark plum opening over aromatic lavender and a balsamic tonka base reads recognisably, though the dupe flattens the creamy depth and fades faster than the original.
