Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery.

It opens on lavender and mint, moves through vanilla and benzoin, and settles on honey, tonka bean and tobacco.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• mint: cool and sharp, with a cleansing bite

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
