Le Male Elixir Absolu - Parfum Intense

Good but not for me

It’s just okay. I’m not a huge fan of the le male line as it leans very feminine on me. I do love it on other people though! Great bottle design as well.

Captivating, mature evolution of a classic perfume

Stunning and long lasting

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Starting off strong, this fragrance comes in stunning packaging and a unique bottle! This is my first Le Male product so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s very strong and smells very nice! It lasts all day long and can be used for any time of day. It isn’t my favourite out of all my scents but it’s definitely up there. Overall it’s a 8/10.

The best Le Male out there!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male is a fragrance that is closest to my heart as that was the first perfume I've known as my dad used it back in the day. The unique bottle design is one of the key things that had this pull which differentiated itself from the other fragrances. Since then, I've tried each and every fragrance in the Le Male series and have a couple of them in my collection as well. Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir Absolu is a pretty fantastic new release for 2025. This one follows up the popular Le Male Elixir, and honestly, it's lovely. And in my honest opinion, 100% better than the OG Elixir. Here's my quick breakdown: Opening: Juicy, fruity plum mixed with fresh lavender. Bold and captivating. Mid: Plum gets even richer and mouthwateringly sweet. Smooth and addictive. Dry Down: Sweetness mellows into something balanced and versatile. It's fresher and cleaner than the OG, making it wearable anywhere. Comparison to OG Elixir: This one is a distant cousin, but much better. The honey and vanilla are gone, making it fresher, more mature, and more versatile. It's not redundant; it's a superior, more wearable version of the DNA. Final Thoughts: This scent is smooth, sophisticated, and incredibly easy to wear. Expect compliments!

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.

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.
