The review
Hawas Exotic scores 4.5 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Le Male Elixir Absolu.
Rasasi 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.
At $80 per 100ml it costs 27% less than Le Male Elixir Absolu — the 2nd cheapest of 4 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 Rasasi 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. Rasasi set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Coffee and honey layered over Le Male's vanilla, dense and very sweet.
