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.

Match Fragrances' interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir (2022) - the Quentin Bisch honey-lavender-tobacco extrait that became Le Male's most concentrated and addictive iteration, here translated into a lavender-honey opening over tobacco and a vanilla-tonka close. Honest dupe-fidelity for cold-weather evening wear at a fraction of the designer price.
