Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir Absolu Parfum Intense Fragrance Samples | Authentic Decants (3ml, 5ml, 10ml)

Top Notes

• Plum

Heart Notes

• Lavender

Base Notes

• Tonka Bean

Le Male Elixir Absolu opens with a ripe plum accord that gives the fragrance a fruity, warm and lightly spiced character. Rather than beginning with the fresher aromatic emphasis found in many Le Male fragrances, Absolu places juicy fruit immediately at the center of the experience.

Lavender emerges through the heart and provides the recognizable aromatic connection to the Le Male collection. Tonka bean then creates a smooth, warm and sweet drydown. The overall impression is fruity, aromatic, spicy and ambery, with a richer character than the original Le Male Elixir.

Jean Paul Gaultier describes Le Male Elixir Absolu as an intensely richer reinterpretation of Le Male Elixir, but the two fragrances emphasize noticeably different ingredients.

Le Male Elixir centers on lavender, tonka bean and benzoin, creating a warm woody-aromatic amber profile. Le Male Elixir Absolu introduces plum as its defining opening note, retains lavender in the heart and finishes with tonka bean.

Shoppers who enjoy the original Elixir but want a fruitier and more spiced interpretation may prefer Absolu, while the original Elixir emphasizes a more resinous and aromatic warmth.

Le Male Elixir Absolu has a rich fruity, aromatic and ambery profile that can be especially appealing for evenings, dinners, dates, special occasions and cooler-weather wear. Plum and tonka bean give it warmth and depth, while lavender adds aromatic contrast.

Fall and winter are natural fits for this style, although personal preference, climate and application can make it suitable for transitional weather as well.

Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

A Le Male Elixir Absolu sample is especially useful if you already know Le Male Elixir and want to experience how the addition of a prominent plum accord changes the fragrance's overall character.

Sampling on skin allows you to experience the transition from fruity plum into aromatic lavender and warm tonka bean before purchasing a larger quantity. A travel-size decant also provides a convenient way to keep the fragrance available for evenings, weekends or travel.
