Le Mâle Elixir Jean Paul Gaultier 2023

Ok, ich benutze Le Male Elixir seit etwas mehr als einer Woche, es macht süchtig. Der Auftakt erinnert mich an das OG Le Male auf Steroiden! Sobald man sprüht, bekommt man definitiv eine laute minzige Frische mit etwas Lavendel, ich bekomme definitiv ein wenig Ultra Male und Le Parfum, sobald es anfängt zu trocknen, wobei ersteres prominenter ist. Es dauert eine Weile, bis die Basisnoten durchkommen, dann kommen die magischen Honig- und Tonka-Noten zum Vorschein. Das ist genau das, was ich mir von Le Parfum gewünscht habe, das OG Le Male auf Steroiden. Wenn Sie Ultra Male oder Le Parfum besitzen, ist das Elixir keineswegs überflüssig. Dies ist eine solide Veröffentlichung, greifen Sie zu!

Quentin does it again

Some sequels are mainly big flops .. see the Montblanc Explorer line, Star Wars or even the latest Thor.

However, when you have an ambitious young man who wants to study parfumery, even if he is not a chemist only by chance and the good will of Jean Guichard from Givaudan - we now have such gems like Ganymede, Le Parfum and now Le Male Elixir.

If you smelled Carlisle, Le Parfum, Delina or Bois Imperial .. you will know what the master perfumer does well: Projection and Performance!

When I samples Bois Imperiale, it was literally choking me from the jacket in the next day. Apart from the huge performance, the scents are also very well blended and thought through.

Many houses and perfumers like to play it safe, for the sake of the stakeholders .. but not Mr. Bisch, he will do what he needs to do and do it well.

• Longevity: It will project abot 4 hours then stay close to skin for the whole day of wear and some more.
• This is a playful, sweet scent and if it´s your first JPG bottle then you can´t do anything wrong starting with this one, Bisch does very strong, projecting nice scents and this one is great.

I believe this is a must try scent, maybe the hardcore fans of Le Male will not like it, but it is modern, sweet and has a hint of Code Absolu. It will be perfect for office and business wear, but also with jeans and a white t-shirt.

I love my Le Parfum bottle and I do not feel the need to buy the Elixir, however if you do not have any of the Le Male into your collection, this is the one to start with.

For me it is a one of universe´s mysteries how does PUIG allow such a wonderful creation to come out from their group, when their main target is to create mainstream spams like Phantom, Invictus and such.

One of the best sweet fragrances

This is one of my favorite fragrances. Especially the opening is awesome. It is one of the best openings I've ever smelled. It is very sweet and I love sweet fragrances. The longevity and projection is like a beast. The presentation is also great. You get a strong honey and vanilla note with this fragrance.

JPG's new golden star

Wow, so many things happening here.
First, a burst of lavender and mint, then, it starts to get warm, a bit sweet. Tobacco appears, vanilla, a kind of black licorice accord too... Then, the honey makes it appearance together with the resinous part of the fragrance.

It's weird, because it is fresh because of the lavender and mint, but warm and cosy, because of the honey, benzoin, tonka and tobacco.

I'd wear this at cold or rainy days, and at night, while hanging out at bars or a terrace. But, to be honest, it would not surprise me in any other situation. It is noticeable, but not as cloying/bomb as other Elixir fragrances.

It is similar to Le Parfum? A little. Is it similar to Xerjoff? A little too. This scent is kind of in the middle ground of sweet scents, you can recognise a couple of accords from different parfums. It is not something completely new, but it will stand out from your collection.

When it is dry, a beautiful rough tobacco (similar to Bvlgari MIB in my opinion) softened by a sweeter honey, while all other notes swing around making it a "What's that, let me smell a bit more" kind of scent.

Overall, warm, calming, really wearable, made to be like by the masses, stands out (but wont make you the "another Sauvage elixir guy arrived at the club") and it lasts long enough (8-10h). Unisex? Yes yes yes.

Safe blind-buy? Well, if you hate sweet, no. If you tolerate it just to a certain point, and you are not afraid of a tobbacco note, you like spices, lavender, mint, and you've been around slightly resinous scents, then yes.

My favourite JPG so far. Oh, and the bottle, what a masterpiece, easily new part of the decoration at home.

This elixir is a fail

Yet another juvenile and overly sweet creation by Bisch... seems to be all he does lately. Then again, this is exactly what's hot and trending. It's a tonka/vanillic fog that all the kids are chasing after. nowadays. The blending is actually a disaster here.

Perfect if you want to smell like a teenager that is trying to get attention anywhere he can. Easy pass for anyone 25+.

Scent more for young people. An overly sweet opening, reminiscent of One Million, which calms down in the drydown with tonka bean and bezoin

Typical Bisch monster projection perfume. The nicest Le Male DNA with tons of mint and lavender. Best buy if you are new to the brand,I like

I do not get the hype. It smells like a mix of all modern fragrances mixed altogether.

Tonka primarily. Feels a little cinnamon-spicy at first and turns into something sweet-ambery. Warm and kind of sweet.

After Ultra Male the next big hit. Le Parfum with some warm boozy amber from angels share, wow

This smells just like the cheap Playboy VIP deodorant school boys used back in the boy in the locker room. Not as synthethic, but about the same DNA

Despite its sweetness, the fragrance does not seem heavy or bulky. Warm and cozy, it radiates youthfulness at the same time. Well done!

For those who prefer the sweet aspect of Le Male and want extra sweet and gourmand on top. I prefer the fresher original.
