Cool and herbal defines the opening of Le Male Elixir Cologne from Jean Paul Gaultier, lavender and mint arriving together right from the first spray. Vanilla and benzoin settle the heart into something warm and resinous, a shift from the cool opening. Honey, tonka bean and tobacco close the drydown deeply sweet and richly gourmand. That move from a cool, minty top to a honeyed, tobacco laced base is the entire emotional arc of this fragrance, freshness giving way to indulgence. Le Male Elixir Cologne is a gourmand aromatic Eau de Parfum, suited to evening wear and special occasions. Jean Paul Gaultier built warmth into the Le Male line here.
