Le Male Elixir Parfum
The most powerful Le Male yet. Fresh mint and lavender open into sweet tonka and warm amber, with big projection and the kind of staying power that lasts through a long night.

Our Take
Le Male Elixir is Jean Paul Gaultier's most powerful take on its classic lavender DNA, and it became one of the most talked-about colognes of the last couple of years for good reason.
Mint and lavender keep it recognizably Le Male, but tonka, benzoin and amber push it into rich, sweet, warm territory. It's dense and loud, so one or two sprays go a long way.
This is a cold-weather and night-out scent. It's too heavy for a hot office, but on a cold evening it has serious presence and gets noticed.
Scent Breakdown
- Bergamot and mint open with a fresh, cool blast
- Lavender carries the signature Le Male heart
- Tonka bean adds a warm, sunny sweetness
- Benzoin and amber anchor a rich, lasting dry down
