Well it’s warm and muggy on the bayou, looks to be this way the rest of the Christmas season, perhaps the year. Went with this today as I find it more of a Fall fragrance and well we’re back in our “fall”. Le Male Elixir by Jean Paul Gaultier is an Oriental Fougere fragrance for men. Top notes are Lavender and Mint; middle notes are Vanilla and Benzoin; base notes are Honey, Tonka Bean and Tobacco. Welcome on board!The new sailor Le Male Elixir will induce burning cravings and drive your senses crazy. Burning desire spreads with the irresistible notes of fresh lavender, warming tonka bean, and gentle benzoin. With a gilded torso, this fiery novelty from Jean Paul Gaultier embodies radiant power and seductive charisma. It is finished! You melt away with burning desire. This intense fragrance ignites the fire of the senses on his upper body and gives the soft skin a burning sensuality. After a refreshing breeze of mint, the tide rises to addiction, becoming a glowing elixir. In this breath of fresh air, dashing lavender quickly takes on lusty proportions, enhanced by the balsamic richness of benzoin with syrupy vanilla accents. The tonka bean trumps with its warm and sweet tones between honey and tobacco. The time has come: You jump! Radiant at first sight, glowing with masculinity, more fiery than ever. The torso is bursting with muscles, the skin is bathed in copper color by the sinking sun. What a Gaultier body... what accomplished style. Finely chiseled grooves stand out on its muscles dipped in gold and merge with the amber stripes of the sailor shirt, which plays with transparency effects in a highly sexy way.

Here is one from Lattafa's Niche Emerati line. Mughal Fort is a warm, spicy, and sweet gourmand fragrance. It is said to be a high-quality clone of Penhaligon’s Changing Constance, but I have not had my nose on anything from this house as of yet. It has a beautiful salted caramel and cardamom profile that smells significantly more expensive than its price tag. It is a comforting, "fluffy" scent perfect for cooler weather. It opens with a blast of aromatic warmth. The cardamom is prominently dry, slightly chai-like, and spicy, blended with a solid kick of pimento. It is not a citrusy fresh opening; it is immediately cozy. At the heart, which is clearly the star of the show. The spices settle, and a delicious, buttery caramel note emerges. It is distinctively "salted" rather than sugary syrup, likely due to the interaction with the cedarwood, which keeps the scent grounded and unisex. 1The scent finishes with a soft, powdery vanilla and musk. It leaves a creamy trail on the skin that feels very luxurious and smooth. For a fragrance with a sweet profile, Mughal Fort performs surprisingly well, though it is not a room filler. It lasts a full work day on skin and stays on clothes for days and creates a nice scent bubble for the first 2–3 hours before settling closer to the skin. It is an "inviting" scent rather than a "shouting" one. The warmth of the cardamom and amber makes it ideal for cold days, cozy evenings, or dates. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity: 2 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1
