Le Male Elixir Absolu - Parfum Intense

The best of multiple worlds

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Le male Elixir Absolu brings to the table the best of multiple worlds. The plum and the lavender notes are very prominent, making this perfume a sweet and deep perfume that's perfect for many occasions. There's also a vanillic smell from the tonka bean that rounds the smell to something truly magnificent. The sillage is beastly, the scent lasts for hours on end. It's better than the original Elixir - skip it and go for Absolu instead

Very strong sweet masculine fragrance

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is a masculine sweet fragrance for the colder weather with a very strong scent and projection. Not a very versatile scent because of how strong it is. Very cool bottle design too.

A gold-clad, amber-drenched, imposing power scent

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Le Male Elixir Absolu is an aromatic juggernaut: spiced, resinous, and deliberately ostentatious. The gold torso bottle is a pure spectacle, like something handed out at a gala for oligarchs, and the scent follows suit with the dense amber, warm tonka, and an unmistakable air of vintage opulence. Personally, it feels like I borrowed my grandfather’s cologne and accidentally activated his stock portfolio (I wish he had). Luxurious, yes, but far too mature and imposing for my age or aesthetic. Its projection could clear a room or command one, depending on your intention. Impressive in craftsmanship, but for me, it reads more inheritance than identity. Hence, with the right demographic, this is worth your money; unfortunately, not just for me.

One of the best new releases from JPG

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Wasn’t sure what to expect from this one, but Le Male Elixir Absolu surprised me in the best way. It’s warm, deep, and seductive without trying too hard. The lavender and tonka are rich but not cloying, and there’s this almost smoky sweetness from plum that lingers once the fragrance dries. Great for any weather or evenings out. Definitely feels like a more mature take on the original. Gets compliments too.

Great scent for cold weather or night outs

(I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review) Compared to the original elixir, absolu has a much sweeter and fruity tone. With the added plum note, it opens a bit bright,then dries down to a more powdery creamy tonka. The bottle and packaging is one of the best when it comes to fragrances. The iconic bottle shape from JPG and its amazing atomizer makes it great for both display and everyday use. For its projection and longevity, its quite strong for the first hour when you first spray it. Afterwards, it calms down and projects for a good 5-6 hours before becoming a skin scent. Overall, this is a great fragrance for the colder weather or evenings out. This is definently gonna be in my rotation for the fall/winter.

Spicy and Sweet. Mrs. Approved.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Been using Le Male Elixir Absolu lately and I’m really liking it. It’s warm, sweet, and has a nice spicy edge that makes it stand out. My girlfriend’s a big fan too. It lasts a long time and the bottle looks great. Fancy, but not over the top. Overall, it’s a solid scent if you’re into bold, masculine fragrances with a bit of sweetness.

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

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir Absolu – Review Le Male Elixir Absolu is a bold and seductive twist on the classic Le Male DNA. It opens with a rich blend of warm tonka bean and creamy vanilla, balanced by a spicy, slightly smoky undertone that adds depth and sophistication. The scent is intense and long-lasting, making it perfect for evening wear or colder seasons. The iconic torso bottle returns with a darker, more luxurious finish that matches the fragrance's sensual character. Overall, it’s a 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!
