Le Male Elixir by Jean Paul Gaultier is a dense, honeyed lavender built for cold nights out. Mint and lavender cut through first, cool and herbal, so the sweetness never feels sticky at the start. Vanilla and benzoin move in underneath and turn it soft and resinous. Then honey, tonka bean and a dry thread of tobacco take over, and that warm, amber dry-down is where it spends most of its time. Launched in 2023 and aimed at men, it suits anyone who likes a sweet scent with some swagger. Voters wear it in autumn and winter, almost always after dark, and it is a natural pick for going out. Most wearers vote it long-lasting and call its sillage strong, so start with a light hand. A 3ml decant covers a week of evenings before you commit to the bottle.

The house
More from Jean Paul Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier began in France in 1982 as the house of a designer known as fashion's enfant terrible, and the perfumes keep his playful streak. Sweetness is the house language: vanilla, tonka bean, caramel and honey, often cut with lavender, mint or bergamot. Le Male is the starting point, an aromatic take on vanilla with a fresh, spicy lift. Le Male Elixir pushes it richer, into honey. Scandal pairs honey with white flowers, and La Belle is fruit and vanilla. For a greener mood, Le Beau Paradise Garden brings coconut and fresh leaves.
