Le Mâle Elixir Jean Paul Gaultier 2023

First of all, this fragrance truly brings compliments! Everyone knows it; according to YouTubers and influencers, compliments are practically pouring in. In reality, they are quite rare.

My fiancée's friend was visiting. She walked in the door and immediately asked what smells so good. My fiancée's mother recently pulled me aside and asked what perfume I was using. She has been smelling it the whole time and thinks it's fantastic. My fiancée loves it and could throw her arms around me every time. I also received compliments at various events.

This fragrance starts with a pleasant mint note, which is immediately underscored by warmth and sweetness. I am not bothered by this explosive opening at all. On the contrary, I feel directly in a positive mode.
In the drydown, it remains sweet, warm, gourmand, with a slightly woody and oriental note. The lavender plays a floral note that harmonizes beautifully with the honey and tonka bean. A masculine sweetness that screams for attention.

The longevity and sillage are outstanding! Longevity easily 10h - 14h. The sillage is perceived by the surroundings for a long time. Personally, I use 4 - 5 sprays and stand out for a very long time. The price/performance ratio is also very good! I got 75 ml for €53 at Flaconi (with discount code).

For me, a clear recommendation and an excellent entry into the depths of the perfume world.
