The review

On paper, Male Absolu For Men 2277 is a strong bet if you want Le Male Elixir Absolu for less.

Perfume Parlour 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.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $41 per 100ml it costs 63% less than Le Male Elixir Absolu — the cheapest of 3 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.
