The review
9pm Elixir scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Le Male Elixir Absolu.
Afnan sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Male Elixir Absolu's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Afnan publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir Absolu is cardamom and lavender at first, coffee, honey and cocoa at its heart and vanilla, benzoin and Tonka Bean at the end. Afnan set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Base

- Tonka Bean
Coffee and honey layered over Le Male's vanilla, dense and very sweet.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
