Le Male Elixir
Le Male Elixir by Jean Paul Gaultier is a masculine-leaning parfum from 2023 in the designer price tier. It opens with lavender and mint, moves into honey and tonka bean and dries down to vanilla, benzoin and sandalwood. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Heart
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Benzoin Sweet balsamic resin. Vanilla-adjacent but drier.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
