Le Male Elixir Absolu - Parfum Intense

Le Male Elixir Absolu is a competent addition to the Le Male line, offering a familiar yet slightly updated scent profile with the plum and lavender standing out. I’m looking forward to wearing it in the fall.

Both sweet and fresh

This fragrance is a delicious, sweet, warm, spicy blend of plum, lavender and tonka bean. I would say it is a well blend of sweetness and freshness, it is perfect for the summer occasions as it’s not too spicy and overly heavy. The opening has a fresh spicy note with the cinnamon and a sweet powdery at the drydown. The projection is pretty nice on this one and the longevity also like a good 7h to 12h mark. After wearing it couple of times I would say I do get compliments on it which is a good indicator that the fragrance is good! Jean Paul Gaultier always kills it with their scent especially since the nose behind this fragrance is Quentin Bisch i expect nothing less! Would definitely recommend for someone who is looking for an easy, everyday, every night fragrance!

Typical JPG le male/ultramale DNA

Both the container and the bottle feel solid. No plastic feel to them. Very rich gold finish on the bottle. The opening is very bright and fruit forward. A bit strong. It’s indicative of ultra male. Mid notes give into more vanilla. Mid dries down quickly to about the same. Silage is powerful in the first hour of wear, though I find it quickly dissipates. This is not a mind blowing release. It’s very similar to the original release, if not more leaning towards the punchy-ness of the late and great Ultramale.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Le Mâle Elixir Absolu opens with a warm, rich blend of vanilla, tonka, and spices that feels bold while being refined. It’s a fragrance with great projection at first, perfect for evening wear or cooler weather. Unfortunately, the longevity isn’t the best—after a few hours, it fades more than expected. Still, the scent profile is enjoyable enough that I keep reaching for it. Just be ready to reapply.

Intense & Addictive Men's Fragrance

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir is a powerful and captivating fragrance. The iconic gold bottle makes a statement, but the scent itself is the main attraction. Le Male Elixir opens with aromatic lavender and mint, transitioning into a rich heart of vanilla and benzoin. The base offers warm honey, smooth tonka bean, and a subtle tobacco note, creating an intensely sensual and long-lasting experience. Performance is a key strength. This fragrance has impressive longevity, easily lasting throughout the day and into the evening. The sillage is significant, drawing compliments without being overpowering. Highlights: * Intoxicating warm, sweet, and subtly spicy scent. * Exceptional longevity and noticeable projection. * Striking bottle design. * Ideal for evening wear and cooler seasons. Considerations: * Its intensity might be too much for those preferring lighter scents. * A little goes a long way. Overall: Highly Recommended. For those seeking a bold, long-lasting fragrance that exudes confidence, Le Male Elixir is an excellent choice and a worthwhile addition to any collection.

Worth Every Penny

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir Absolu is a richer, more seductive take on the original. It opens with fresh lavender and mint, then moves into a warm heart of creamy vanilla and sweet plum. The base features tonka bean and benzoin, adding depth and sensuality. This amber-aromatic scent is sweet, spicy, and bold—perfect for cooler nights. The bottle keeps the iconic torso shape but is now in a warm amber-gold finish, reflecting the fragrance’s depth. Longevity is solid, with moderate projection. Overall, it's a modern, luxurious evolution of a timeless classic.

Pretty good

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a pretty good fragrance but it’s not really for me. I liked how they kept the smell a little similar to the older ones for example the lavender fit nicely. One of my favorite things about this cologne was the bottle. It was really cool looking. It has pretty decent projection too.

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!

Le male elixir beast

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The le male elixir is really a beast of a fragrance. It's super long lasting and has great projection. You can definitely feel the lavender and plum notes. The iconic bottle is always an eye catcher. Definitely a great addition for my fragrance family
