What wearers say
“Fragnatica is wierd asf... people out here shill clones and dupes, but downvote any designer and niche releases. This arab dupe houses must be paying for bots to hype thier clones, and spawn reviews.Now as the elixer, for the price its good, but its absolutely not as amazing, as the reviews here making it out to be, and it does not smells like what half of the comments here are comparing it to, and it is not a 100% Le Male Elixir Absolu clone. What are yall even talking about 😂.”
“After trying JPG Elixir Absolu, I wanted to get a cheaper alternative because Elixir Absolu isn't worth the money. 9PM Elixir has the same scent and lasts longer. It's definitely a mature fragrance, feeling warm and sweet. It's suitable for everyday use in winter and autumn, and perhaps for evenings in spring and summer if the weather is cooler. It has notes of vanilla, leather, and cardamom, but I also detect a chocolate note.If you're looking for a warm, chocolatey winter scent, I recommend it. I think it's suitable for ages 24+.”
“While pleasant, not at all what I expected. Way more OG 9PM DNA than I was led to believe.While not a negative, the notes seemed more promising. Le Male Elixir/Absolu, the Boss Elixirs (Scent and Bottled), among others.But this is straight up 9PM as the foundation, stripped of that excessive bubblegum sweetness, and amped up spices with resins.Performance wise, yes. This is a league above the original 9PM in longevity, projection, and sillage. Room filler for sure.”
