Le Male Elixir Absolu Men Perfume (125ml)

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Le Male Elixir Absolu is a bold, refined fragrance that balances fiery cinnamon and cardamom with smooth tonka, lavender, and a warm base of vanilla and amber. It’s versatile perfect for both formal occasions and intimate nights. With strong projection, elegant sillage, and long lasting depth, it leaves a lasting impression without overwhelming. The packaging is a showstopper: a gold-toned sculpted torso on a velvet base, encased in Gaultier’s signature tin. It’s more than a bottle it’s a statement. This scent is for those who lead with confidence and style. I’d be proud to represent such an iconic creation.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) If you’re already familiar with the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male lineup, the Elixir Absolu Parfum won’t come as a surprise — and that’s both a strength and a slight letdown. The DNA is unmistakably Le Male: warm, slightly spicy, and sensual. But this version leans a little sweeter, with a smoother, more polished finish. It’s like the original got dressed up for a special night out. The longevity is solid, and it performs well without being overpowering. However, if you were expecting something drastically different or daringly bold, this may feel too close to the rest of the line. That said, the sweet edge gives it a nice, cozy twist — perfect for cooler evenings or date nights. Overall, Elixir Absolu Parfum is a refined, slightly sweeter evolution rather than a reinvention — comforting, familiar, and just a touch more seductive.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfume smells warm and welcoming, and up close, it is truly intense. Value for money, as only one spray is needed for the full effect. The packaging is a robust metal can which protects the perfume. The design of the perfume container is intricate and comes with a lock mechanism. However, the red perfume holder is not tight enough to secure the perfume for display, which is the only flaw. It's almost like a trophy fit for you.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) First impressions of the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir Absolu, opening of the Elixir Absolu is rich sweet plum, lavender, mint and cinnamon. It is a fruity sweet but still gourmand, smells interesting, I definitely like it. As it starts to dry down it becomes more of a bubbley iris note. As it dries down even more, the sweetness form the tonka comes out with a hit of lavender. The fragrance is a little more syrupy and fruity with kind of this sparkling iris that's also a little bit powdery and I love it. The performance is quite good, obviously the plum lavender mint all that sweet syrupy aspects are all kicking and pushing the scent. Great longevity and great projection on my skin. I believe this would be a Fall/winter fragrance for sure. Amazing bottle presentation and packaging, very good for gifts for boyfriend or husband or in general. The frengence is more rounded, more balanced, smooth and pleasantly gentle scent. I would definitely get this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ingredients are great and the ingredients list is really good the scent strength is really great and very long lasting and smells amazing and the bottle shape is great. The sillage is 75ml which is plenty as you dont need alot of it on you and also last for a long time

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This fragrance is very unique. I really love the presentation. I really enjoy the notes for me. I find it unisex, but that’s not a complaint. I personally like more unisex fragrances. Smells amazing worth the money beautiful bottle to look at.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love JPG after shaves and this one has certainly become my favourite. The packaging as always is superb. The design is unique and the feel of quality is felt throughout. Oh and the scent is perfect, strong and long lasting.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) 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!
