What wearers say
“This was an amazing blind buy option.I've even been asked if I'm wearing the original Le Male ElixirThe first time I sprayed it, the minty bergamot opening caught me off guard.Be careful of overspraying, as the opening can be harsh if you do, but I still enjoyed it.Then it dries down into a smooth vanilla and something else.The dry down is not overly sweet, and easily my favorite part of the fragranceThe opening surprised me a little, but the drydown made this fragrance worth itI'd definitely recommend this one.”
“Probably the best dupe of a fragrance since Club De Nuit Intense Man or Club De Nuit Preciux. In my opinion it's 98% identical but the issue is that it doesn't even compare for longevity, or sillage. They got the scent profile right but completely bombed the performance still worth it for it's price though.”
“I’m a fan of clones, but I’ll pass on this one. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve seen a lot of people complain about its performance. After experiencing the real thing and seeing its lasting power firsthand, I’d rather stick with the original. It’s not even that pricey, so there’s no point in wasting time on a “short-lasting” imitation.”
