The review

On paper, Le Male Elixir is a reasonable bet if you want Le Male Elixir for less.

Palermo Perfumes 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 $33 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Le Male Elixir — the 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.

Value8.6
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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 Le Male Elixir 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.
