The review

Worth a try. That is where Gladiator Twilight Elixir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Le Male Elixir.

Volare 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 $54 per 100ml it costs 62% less than Le Male Elixir — the 16th cheapest of 20 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.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: lavender and mint up top, vanilla and benzoin in the middle, honey, Tonka Bean and tobacco underneath — the shape of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir.

Top

  • lavender

Heart

  • vanilla

Base

  • honey

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.
