Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Quentin Bisch. Le Male Elixir opens with Lavender and Mint, settles into a heart of Vanilla and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Honey, and Tobacco. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its sweet, amber profile and strong projection make it less suitable for the office. However, it excels on dates and during evenings out, with reviewers highlighting its amazing projection and longevity.

About

A powerful amber concoction opens with a vibrant, almost punchy blend of fresh lavender and cool mint, quickly melting into a warm, inviting heart of creamy vanilla and resinous benzoin. The drydown unveils a decadent, sticky sweetness of honey, rich tonka bean, and a smoky whisper of tobacco, creating a lavish, long-lasting trail. This is a scent that doesn't just enter a room; it makes an entrance.
