Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Le Male Elixir Parfum
A powerhouse of honeyed vanilla and spicy amber, Le Male Elixir is a charismatic, modern gourmand with seductive depth. Not for the timid, it commands attention with rich, syrupy warmth and creamy sweetness.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Strong Elixir EDP
Strong Elixir follows Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir, the sweet, honeyed gourmand take on the barbershop classic. The cool mint-lavender opening over creamy vanilla, honey and tobacco reads recognisably, though the dupe flattens the rich depth and fades faster than the powerhouse original.
