Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Elixir scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Le Male Elixir.

Rayhaan 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 $35 it costs 80% less than Le Male Elixir.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Rayhaan 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 is lavender and mint at first, vanilla and benzoin at its heart and honey, Tonka Bean and tobacco at the end. Rayhaan set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

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.
