Le Male Elixir Absolu - Parfum Intense

easy to wear for anything

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] After wearing and testing this for about a week or so, JPG just continues to amaze me with each of their releases. Le Male Elixir Absolu is a fruity, and slightly warm spicy, on the dry down it becomes more fresher and smoother. In the end it is very easy go wear and goes with anything.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir has a blend of vanilla, honey, and bean which creats a warm, sweet scent that impressively lasts quite long and has a strong projection, just after a few squirts. It makes a bold statement between luxury and style. However, its sweetness may be a bit intense for those who prefer more musky scents

One Spray Too Many? My Honest Review After 30 Days

After using Le Male Elixir Absolu consistently for a month, I can confidently say this is one of Jean Paul Gaultier’s boldest and most seductive releases yet. Scent Breakdown: Right from the first spray, the lavender and mint hit strong, giving it that classic fresh edge. But soon after, the fragrance turns warm and sweet, with tonka bean, vanilla, and a touch of honey taking over. There’s a rich, almost dessert-like quality that makes it feel cozy and luxurious. In the dry-down, there’s a bit of tobacco and amber that add some depth and masculine character without being too smoky. Longevity & Performance Testing: I tested it across different environments: • Club/Party: Excellent performer. Lasted about 7–8 hours with strong projection in the first 3. Got compliments without being overpowering (with 3–4 sprays max). • Gym: Not a great fit. The sweetness became a bit cloying with body heat and sweat — I wouldn’t recommend this for workouts. • Casual Use: On cooler evenings, it worked well, but during the day or in warmer temps, it felt a bit too heavy. Best saved for nighttime or colder months. Bottle & Sprayer: The classic torso bottle is done in a rich amber-brown gradient — definitely one of the classier looks in the lineup. The atomizer is great too, giving a nice, even mist without wasting juice. Application & Longevity: I found it lasts longer on clothes — easily detectable after 24+ hours. On skin (pulse points), you get a more intimate trail, with solid longevity around 6–7 hours. Just be mindful of over-spraying — the vanilla-honey mix can be strong. Final Verdict (30 Days Later): Le Male Elixir Absolu shines best in the evening and cooler weather. It’s not the most versatile scent in my collection, but for dates, parties, or a night out, it’s a head-turner. Definitely one to reach for when you want to make a statement.

Versatile scent that isn’t too overpowering

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] An amazing smell that is strong enough to make a statement but not overpowering. I think it’s one of the best scents I have due to the versatility. I wear this on nights out, and on casual days. Couldn’t recommend a scent more!

Another Average Designer Flanker!

Disclaimer: I received this product for free from Influenster and Jean Paul Gaultier in exchange for my honest opinion. As noted by the uninspiring name, and if you’re familiar with the original Elixir, yes, they do smell similar. According to JPG, this 2025 Le Male flanker has 3 main notes of plum, lavender, and tonka bean. However, as many other reviewers have stated, there’s a little more to it than that. There a slightly spicy undertone that helps balance out the sweetness and the classic JPG lavender note is mixed with some green and bitter aromatics. There’s also a bit of a powdery undertone that smells similar to the iris note found in Le Male Le Parfum. The base notes also add a smooth and long-lasting richness to the scent. The performance is subjective, but the majority of people seem to get gotten above average lasting power of 8-10+ hours, it can also last well over 12 hours as a skin scent, and it projects really well for the first 6+ hours. The scent itself is made to be worn in the fall and winter months, but could also be lightly used during spring and summer nights, or for dates and special occasions. People who know the Le Male series will definitely smell something familiar, especially when compared to the Elixir version. Even though the sweet notes are quite strong, they are still well-blended, have warmth and depth, and more importantly, they smell high quality. In the end, this new 2025 Le Male flanker is simply a good “designer” fragrance, which leaves a bit to be desired, and it does feel like a bit of a “cash-grab,” rather than something new and exciting. It’s a little lacklustre when compared to other JPG fragrances, but being part of the Le Male line, it still smells quite seductive and playful. I personally prefer the Le Parfum version or even the original Elixir, but this is still unapologetically a Jean Paul Gaultier creation, that delivers on what people have come to expect from the flamboyant brand with the iconic bottles.
