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.

Our Verdict - Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Eau de Toilette

This one is a coconut rollercoaster - some adore its creamy, spicy charm, others are just plain disgusted. It's divisive, synthetic to many, but if you love a loud, sweet coconut, it might just be your summer signature. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
