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.

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+.

Power comes with a Price $
I have recently purchased a perfume I was very excited to try. On paper this sounded exactly what I needed . A stronger , maybe even more masculine , long lasting parfume from Jean Paul Gaultier
The bottle seemed like it would deliver all that but unfortunately it left me a bit dissapointed. However , that disappointment quickly made me appreciate this parfume even more.

At first smell , this is 100% original Le Male le parfum with a lot more sweetness. At first I was expecting something else enitrely but after a couple of days I learned to love it just how it is. Le Male is a beautiful smell and if you like Le Male than you will probably love this one too . However, the sweetness can be overwhelming at times .
There were times where I though that this perfume smells just like caramel and nothing else. After getting a lot of compliments I started looking at this perfume from a brighter side .

If you want a long lasting scent with a good projection and you like sweet perfumes than this one is for you. However, I still prefer the original Le Male or even Ultra Male to this one . Even though weaker , they stand out a little more than this one in my opinion.

Le Opposite
I was very much looking forward for this release, hoping for an amazing debut and long term success, however left blatantly disappointed.

I’m going to be very honest here. This fragrance is a mess. Tries very hard to reinvent, amplify, and revolutionize its backbone Le Male dna, unfortunately for me it is a very sad fail. I would have loved this to work, all the notes included are deeply whispering otherwise to my soul.

Not in this case. Imagine a crowd of 10 people, old and new faces alike talking to you at the same time. It just doesn’t work. The new notes are virtually unpalatable. Insanely sweet and unbalanced concoction wrapped in a wonderfully designed bottle, which is to me the highest rated feature of the fragrance. Definitely not worth the hype and I would kindly recommend for those who wish to enjoy the new notes, to try other options as well before making a final decision.

Unfortunately this is not Le Male, but Le Wannagetlaid Teenager Trying To Seduce Girls With Dads Car. Le hard pass.

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

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

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!
