The review
On paper, Bad Man Elixir is an outside bet if you want Le Male Elixir for less.
Scentual Obsessions lists 3 of the 7 notes in Le Male Elixir's pyramid — lavender, vanilla and tonka bean. What it does not list: mint, benzoin, honey and tobacco; and it adds bergamot, lemon and geranium of its own.
At $133 per 100ml it costs 6% less than Le Male Elixir — the 13th 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 Scentual Obsessions 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 Bad Man 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.
