The review
On paper, Tribal Gold is a reasonable bet if you want Le Male Elixir for less.
Grandeur Elite sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Male Elixir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $40 per 100ml it costs 72% less than Le Male Elixir — the 5th cheapest of 13 twins we can price.
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 Grandeur Elite 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
The original opens on lavender and mint, turns to vanilla and benzoin, and settles into honey, Tonka Bean and tobacco. That is the brief Tribal Gold is working from.
Top
- lavender
- mint
Heart
- vanilla
- benzoin
Base
- honey
- Tonka Bean
- tobacco
For the one who wants their sweetness turned all the way up, drenching rooms in warm vanilla, honey and smoky tobacco all night.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
