The Elixir didn't disappoint me, but what definitely disappointed me is how similar the two perfumes are. From that perspective, it almost seems like a wasted release.
Forreal, i feel elixir smells like the drydown of leparfum with a mildly added honey note. They got lazy imo. To me its more like parfum intense, without the intensity lol
I get a totally different scent for both aside from some slight similar differences in the JPG DNA. Elixer is 2x more sweeter especially freshly sprayed and stays sweet during the duration. Vanilla is more sirupy compared to Le Parfum. You get also the honey and tobacco in the dry down. Le Parfum more mature scent. The Vanilla is more powdery and also you get some Iris lipstick scent to it. Cardamon is nice with the lavender. More mature scent and less sweet than Elixer. Dry down though is wayyyy better on you though compared to freshly sprayed. Both are different for me. Elixer is def strong and sweet and just the scent is strong it hits you in the face vs le Parfum also Le Parfum as well just not as sweet but the dry down is very complex and elegant. Idk Elixer can be worn all year round same with Le Parfum. Good combo in the rotation.
Great review! Love the extra sweetness in Elixir BUT it’s too strong and not as wearable as the Le Parfum. It’s just got the perfect amount of everything for anything.
I go nose blind to this one quick, but received my first compliment from a stranger with it! I randomly can smell it a little throughout the night and love it.
I’ve sampled the le parfum multiple times and love it…. But I sampled the elixir once at macys, walked around the mall and immediately looped back to buy a 4.2 oz bottle at full retail
I prefer the scent of Le Male Le Parfum to the Le Male Elixir. My only problem with Le Male Le Parfum is its weak projection. I don’t think I can smell it after 1 hour unless I put my nose close to my skin. That’s so disappointing for me since I actually love how it smells. I wish it performed like the Elixir 😢
Andy I get the same performance but its there on me because I'll get wafts of it later in the day and compliments as well. Don't be afraid to spray a little heavier this is meant to be a more intimate fragrance.
The problem isnt just the sweetness but they literally are just 2.0 versions of the priors. No unique twists, not even true elixirs. Truest elixirs ive tried so far are Dior and Boss Bottled
Elixer is the best in line but Le Parfum is number 2. Fan of the Le Male line as a whole though. Used to wear Bod Money when that was younger and they discontinued that. When I found out it was made after Le Male, I bought a bottle in college. Elixer was love at first smell. Wore out twice now and was well recieved.
I bought elixir as soon as it came out. I’m was a little dissapointed to begin with because le parfum was such a good release a few years earlier. But it has grown in me so much. Now I adore the stuff
Oh yeah it's GOOD. Usually in my year-round top five, even on a summer night if the humidity is not bad. Have not tried Le Male Elixir yet but it's going to be hard to beat this one. I would love to see a 'Massive Disappointments' video 😂😂😂
I totally agree with you on le male elixir. I wanted to like it so bad bc im a le male fan through and through. Le Male Le Parfum is the better scent no doubt. I think its timeless
Le Parfum blindsided me, how good it is. I wasn’t a fan of the OG or Ultra Male, so I viewed it with circumspect, testing it on skin here and there. But then I found it’s scent and wearing experience so unique that I now consider it a modern masterpiece. It’s a versatile, additive scent profile, and the silage/projection is perfect for me. I get wafts of it the next day, and nothing lasts on me. To me, high ART disguised as a frag for the masses. I liked the sample of Elixer, but will buy only for a deal. Elixer is good, but Le Parfum is really an exceptional fragrance, imo.
Agreed... Le Male Le Parfum is a true masterpiece. Just so refined and the oriental notes are amazing in the dry down. I own Elixir for when I want something slightly more sweet in the Spring/Fall, but if I had to have just one, it'd be Le Parfum for its versatility and class.
I agree with you love the scent and also have a special meaning to me I got it as a gift from my son for Father’s Day , good review have a wonderful day take care
Same, just sold my bottle of Elixir. It has a lot of frosted sweetness in the base that becomes too much after several hours. I wish it was an earthier, woodier base.
This 100% describes my experience with le parfum. It was given to me as a bday present last August. At first i was a bit underwhelmed. Ffwd to now, and i realize how easy of a reach this one is. Besides a hot summer day, this juice is extremely versatile, day or night, spring,fall winter, this can be such an easy dumb reach. But better than your basic blue fragrance such as sauvage or ysl y. And the quality is another topic, so smooth, not screechy or rough around the edges. Good review bro 👍🏼 👌🏻
I blind bought Le Male Elixir based on all the hype and reviews and whilst I don't dislike it, it wasn't a love at first sniff. My daughter hates the smell of it so I haven't really worn it much, but I bought a sample of Le Male Le Parfum and although I wasn't immediately wowed by it, it certainly grew on me very quickly, and I especially love the opening of it. I'm yet to buy a full bottle, but it's definitely on my list. Like you, I was never into the original Le Male. It was my best friends signature scent back in the early 2000s. I didn't like it then and I still don't like it now. I think maybe it's the orange blossom and vanilla in it that reminds me of Joop and bathroom air fresheners and I just can't get past that.
Ordered Le Male Parfum full bottle blind. Amazing. Didn’t care for the original Le Male but my tastes have changed. Got a sample of the elixir and it just didn’t do it for me. The elixir Leans more in the one million flankers line for me. Which isn’t a bad thing, I’d rather have one million lucky than the elixir and stick with the Parfum.
I completely agree with you, I prefer le parfum over elixir. I own both n I don't get the hype for elixir. Although I do wish le parfum pushed out a little more. It lasts like 12hrs+ but as a skin sent, so I go crazy with the sprays, but I got the 200ml so I'm good
I have Elixir on the way. I was thinking of getting this one because of iris. But I'm spoiled because of DHP and DHI. If the discounter gets a restock I'll get a bottle. Thank you for the review.
I really like the elixir, so much I going out tomorrow to buy a big bottle. I have a 10ml of le parfum and it's very high on my list but I am going to get the elixir before a big bottle of le parfum. Thanks for the great video. Hope you have a great day!
Having both, I prefer the Elixir. Le Parfum is too situational for me; although I'll love every second of it, I can only see myself wearing it at night during fall and winter, whereas I'd wear the Elixir all day every season except summer. They're both fantastic; the Elixir has more depth, versatility, and freshness, but the Le Parfum is more relaxed, sensual, and intriguing. Are they redundant? No, I don't think they are. But should you get the Elixir if you already have the Le Parfum? No, I don't think you should; not unless you absolutely love the Elixir.
Yep, all personal taste. I really like the sweetness of the Elixir, and only because it's a honeyed sweetness. If that honey wasn't in there, or if it was sweet in the way Ultra Male is, I would definitely prefer the Le Parfum. I'm also in my mid 20s, so I'm sure that's playing a factor in my taste; I'm sure I'll prefer the Le Parfum as I get older.
Sincere, honest and true to the game review ! And yet another of the very few fragrance revirewers to admit that every new release is overhyped. JPG Elixir especially. Undeservedly !
Might pick up a back up. Le parfum is very popular all of a sudden and is out of stock everywhere. Found a 75 ml on sale, will definitely pick it up 🎉😂. Reminds me of Armani code, hence I love it loads. Haven’t gave it much love recently as I’ve been wearing others but need to start using this more.
Oh wow sorry to hear that Steven. There are some legitimate online discounters that I always link. Feel free to check the description! Definitely one of my favorite scents.
I’m not a huge fan of any JPG. I bought elixir and it was ok at best. With that said my wife and all of her friends love it. I’m married so I wear scents more for myself. Ones that I enjoy like Aventus, Herod, or Oud Wood.
Okay.... I'm well versed in the line of jpg, Paco rabanne, ysl, etc. Le parfum was my favorite in the line before I smelled & got the elixir on my skin. It is amazing! I went looking for it at Dillard's probably a month before it even arrived at the store, so I didn't need persuading. I have the 4.2oz bottle. First off, I love gourmand scents. Mercedes-benz club black & Azzaro the most wanted are two of my top favorites.
I do agree! And I have both Le Parfum & the Elixer. I would say the Le Parfum smells a bit more sophisticated. And I would also say the 2nd runner up to Le Parfum would b Mercedes Benz Club Black....
Great video brother, while I’m not a fan of any J.P.G frags. I do have to say that you hit it dead on about all the “ hype beast” flankers. Last year was the “ Le Parfum” this year it’s the “ Elixer” . I think some people just have to have the latest and greatest, while some of us buy fragrances because we actually like them.
Absolutely agree Bob. I’m all for if you smell it and like it no problem but it’s like just because it’s new all of a sudden it’s the best thing to ever happen to fragrances.
Agree completely, the new releases have been disappointing to say the least. Ultra male is a guilty pleasure. Le Parfum is great but I prefer the original personally in the same way I would take a light colored suit over a dark one. Elixir is an absolute no. I love vanilla but I hate the thick sweetness. Instead I reach Givenchy Pi which I absolutely love. I get Le Parfum vibes from Versace's The Dreamer. Yes, it smells different but it's the same mood/style for me.
@@Cole-nc6ux well it’s good tbh, I do get compliments but I feel it’s a perfume that will shine during the winter period, it’s summer now so it doesn’t have much effect but it’s a nice perfume 👍🏾
i found that this fragrance fit me with the masculine woody base but still had some sweetness to it i found it to be a good fit for me rather than sophisticated
@@gerardgeorge do you think i should get a full bottle of that or find a fragrance like le beau for the up coming summer? also i live in socal so its a warmer climate year round
I have the OG ultra male and le male le parfum,I tried a sample of the elixir in a test strip and took it home I really like to know how it’s going to be after an hour not 5 mins,I found the opening of elixir to have this strong opening almost quite fresh considering it’s a sweet scent,after an hour lapsed the dry down was really nice first thing I got was the dna of the le male le parfum and a hint of the freshness from the opening the sweetness definitely dies down after time its a great scent but if you already have the le male le parfum this would be redundant,once I finish my bottle I will get the elixir and see how it goes
Yes jpg le male parfum is one of the best in my collection.. I will definitely get the elixir... have you tried dolce gabana pour homme? It used to be talked about.. I believe it's a hidden gem..
For the past week ive really been struggling to pick between one of them, im getting interested in fragrances so i don't know how any of them smell, i plan on getting the 9pm one in a few days, im looking to bring elixer or le parfume but i really can't decide, i have seen a ton of videos saying how le parfume is more masculine and elixer is more sweet but you also get alot more smell than le parfume, does that make it better? Im 17 and i want that sort of proper masculine fragrance thats just going to boost my confidence and get compliments so i think im now 75% leaning towards le parfume and btw if elixer is too sweet wouldn’t that slightly be abit feminine or zesty? I just want a proper fragrance but as i said ive never smelt any of these so you can say its a blind buy, can someone help me out?
I want to get my one and only all rounder frag, currently using Ferragamo F Black. I smelled Sauvage EDP and I want that sexy versatility even in high heat. Can Le Parfum fullfill that versatility as my signature scent even in high heat?
So as far as seasons go fall & summer day time are topically toilets?…. And the parfume are topically for the fall/winter evening time?……or is it the notes that decipher weather fall spring summer day time night time?…… I’ve been kind of confused on that.
There really are no hard and fast rules but I would say notes lend themselves to seasons as opposed to concentration. Citrus, florals, woods are usually ideal for warmer weather while sweet fruits, vanillas, amber, resins and incense for cooler days and nights. Again if you like it , wear it whenever but sometimes sweet fragrances can be a bit too much on really hot days.
I've just never been a fan of JPG. I find most of them too sweet. I think this one is less sweet but also leans unisex. Most unique of the flankers, but I rarely wear it(20ml sample). I haven't smelled the elixir
Trying to get a better idea of which types of fragrances I should be using seasonal and daytime nighttime and also the strength of the smells how long they last and all that stuff
I think Elixir will have you covered for many situations especially cool weather. The only other scent profile you might want to explore is something than is more office or school friendly which will be something fresh, bright and clean smelling.
Le male imo is a bit bubble gummy powdery leaning kinda femine. A woman could were it and people would think its perfume. Its still great though, perfect for the night out. Cuba gold is kinda similar, but seems a little more masculine and synthetic, but weaker juice overall. Le Male Parfum is Great, but bordline unisex. Definitely wasnt disappointing when I blind bought the 6.7 oz for 100$ on ebay. This one is meant for night time. Less sprays is more with this one too.
Gerard, I love Le Male Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier. It is the BEST in the Le Male line and better than the new Le Male Elixir. We are on the same page with this fragrance. The latest fragrance release is not always the best. I think that Le Male Elixir is being over hyped. By the way, I love Armani Code Eau de Parfum & I think that it is better than the 2022 release Armani Code Parfum. I am sure that there will be an Armani Code Elixir later this year or early next year. These fragrance houses are so predictable. Every popular fragrance will have an Elixir release. I am expecting an Elixir version of BLEU DE CHANEL, YVES SAINT LAURENT Y, Acqua di Giò, DOLCE&GABBANA The One, AZZARO The Most Wanted, VALENTINO Uomo Born in Roma, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb, VERSACE Eros and many more.
When i first got into fragrances the black physique bottle was a stand out in my mind but after smelling the og i didnt bother, now ive come full circle and have a sample on, its weak but it smells just right, yet strangely enough its sold out ecerywhere in shops and online.. why.. discontinued on me dammit, ive sampled the elixir and meh, im willing to spend the money on le parfum but i cant buy it lol
bro i went into a clothing store today and the woman working there absolutely loved this scent on me. she asked me what fragrance i was wearing and i told her JPG but couldn't remember the exact name. i asked her if she likes it and she was like "yes! 🤗☺🤭" , visibly enamoured. Shortly afterwards she brought it up again and wanted to know what it looks like. so i searched it up on my phone for her and showed her the bottle. she was all giddy and flirty. insane effect!
Hi I'm looking for a master sent for my oldest son chad who is 28 and is very active in his life but also has a outdoor life in fishing& hunting and motor cross and he so sweet of a fella ! He attractive and kind of shy but i no better who has a scruffy long beard that I as mom don't care for but he is very interesting versatile guy I say,
LOVE LOVE LOVE your reviews! Just hit that subscribe button on your chanel! BTW where are you from!? At times you sound like you are from NY, but then you don't. But what do I know? I'm actually Israeli 🤦🤭
One of my favorite, all-around fragrances. I just feel good every time I put this on. Easily a 10 out of 10!
Exactly Joe!
The Elixir didn't disappoint me, but what definitely disappointed me is how similar the two perfumes are. From that perspective, it almost seems like a wasted release.
Again stick with the OG!
Agreed… 60-70% similar
Forreal, i feel elixir smells like the drydown of leparfum with a mildly added honey note. They got lazy imo. To me its more like parfum intense, without the intensity lol
I get a totally different scent for both aside from some slight similar differences in the JPG DNA.
Elixer is 2x more sweeter especially freshly sprayed and stays sweet during the duration. Vanilla is more sirupy compared to Le Parfum. You get also the honey and tobacco in the dry down.
Le Parfum more mature scent. The Vanilla is more powdery and also you get some Iris lipstick scent to it. Cardamon is nice with the lavender. More mature scent and less sweet than Elixer. Dry down though is wayyyy better on you though compared to freshly sprayed.
Both are different for me. Elixer is def strong and sweet and just the scent is strong it hits you in the face vs le Parfum also Le Parfum as well just not as sweet but the dry down is very complex and elegant.
Idk Elixer can be worn all year round same with Le Parfum. Good combo in the rotation.
It's not similar at all...
Great review! Love the extra sweetness in Elixir BUT it’s too strong and not as wearable as the Le Parfum. It’s just got the perfect amount of everything for anything.

I go nose blind to this one quick, but received my first compliment from a stranger with it! I randomly can smell it a little throughout the night and love it.
Yea I’ve been complimented on this even when I can’t smell it.

@@EscTFW2.0le parfum
I’ve sampled the le parfum multiple times and love it…. But I sampled the elixir once at macys, walked around the mall and immediately looped back to buy a 4.2 oz bottle at full retail
You gave it a shot. Elixir is sweet and easy to like I have that covered in the collection which is also why it didn’t appeal to me too much.
@@gerardgeorge ahhh gotcha. Don’t get me wrong I’ll definitely buy a full bottle of le parfum eventually too

@@gerardgeorgethis is a fragrance for sex let’s be real. It really is. LMLP
The dua fragrances version is what you want 😂
Le Parfum is the best in the line. I love this fragance! Elixir is way too sweet for me.
Very sweet. Same with 1 million elixir way too sweet for me.
The problem isnt just the sweetness but they literally are just 2.0 versions of the priors. No unique twists, not even true elixirs. Truest elixirs ive tried so far are Dior and Boss Bottled
@@gerardgeorge i actually like 1 million elixir lol... the sweetness is less then le male elixir
As far as scents with mass appeal goes, this is class in a bottle. Much better than the other JPG, as you mentioned.
Class from start to finish totally agree.
You are so right; the sillage is insane. I just finished the 125 ml, and I am going to rebuy the 200 ml this time.
Good pick up. Enjoy!
Elixer is the best in line but Le Parfum is number 2. Fan of the Le Male line as a whole though. Used to wear Bod Money when that was younger and they discontinued that. When I found out it was made after Le Male, I bought a bottle in college.

All great points. For me its the opposite though the sweetness in elixir makes it feel less versatile for me personally.
Yep, all personal taste.
I really like the sweetness of the Elixir, and only because it's a honeyed sweetness. If that honey wasn't in there, or if it was sweet in the way Ultra Male is, I would definitely prefer the Le Parfum.
I'm also in my mid 20s, so I'm sure that's playing a factor in my taste; I'm sure I'll prefer the Le Parfum as I get older.

Like I said in the video weak and intentionally subtle are two different things. Just spray heavy and clothes and you’ll be good.

@@gerardgeorge do you think i should get a full bottle of that or find a fragrance like le beau for the up coming summer? also i live in socal so its a warmer climate year round
JPG le male le parfum is my signature scent, fall/winter😊
Fantastic choice absolutely love it.
I have received more compliments with Le Male Le Parfum than Dior Elixir or ADG Profumo!
I believe it very easy to like.
@@gerardgeorge Even from people who don't like sweet perfumes!
Heavy grandma soap it smells like to me. blind bought it. will have to try again as it gets colder.
Give it another shot. This is a masculine scent for me.
I actually just was wearing this as i traveled, and EVERY TIME, i got compliments. From the AVIS lady to the Uber lady...everyone asks what i have on.
Yes this one gets a lot of positive attention and women seem to really respond to it. Easily a top 10 for me.
Can you only wear this in the winter/fall season? I'm thinking about picking it up.
I have the OG ultra male and le male le parfum,I tried a sample of the elixir in a test strip and took it home I really like to know how it’s going to be after an hour not 5 mins,I found the opening of elixir to have this strong opening almost quite fresh considering it’s a sweet scent,after an hour lapsed the dry down was really nice first thing I got was the dna of the le male le parfum and a hint of the freshness from the opening the sweetness definitely dies down after time its a great scent but if you already have the le male le parfum this would be redundant,once I finish my bottle I will get the elixir and see how it goes
I think If I got more of the le parfum in the elixir I would be more impressed with it.
Yes jpg le male parfum is one of the best in my collection.. I will definitely get the elixir... have you tried dolce gabana pour homme? It used to be talked about.. I believe it's a hidden gem..
I absolutely love D&G Pour Homme. I actually talk about it a lot on the channel.
What do you suggest for special occasions and date nights and which one more women like on men?
This one for sure! Le Male “Le Parfum”. It doesn’t miss
Thank you so much! There are so many jpg and i was looking for the one that would fit best for winter and this helped a lot!
So happy to hear that I love this one.
For the past week ive really been struggling to pick between one of them, im getting interested in fragrances so i don't know how any of them smell, i plan on getting the 9pm one in a few days, im looking to bring elixer or le parfume but i really can't decide, i have seen a ton of videos saying how le parfume is more masculine and elixer is more sweet but you also get alot more smell than le parfume, does that make it better? Im 17 and i want that sort of proper masculine fragrance thats just going to boost my confidence and get compliments so i think im now 75% leaning towards le parfume and btw if elixer is too sweet wouldn’t that slightly be abit feminine or zesty? I just want a proper fragrance but as i said ive never smelt any of these so you can say its a blind buy, can someone help me out?
I actually enjoy the sweetness in elixir but the le parfum is better in my opinion. It’s also more versatile and you can wear it in more situations.
I love this one and Tom ford s noir extreme edp and ombré leather.
Noir Extreme is in my top 10.
How about compared to JPG Ultra Male?
Ultra Male is great just not as versatle as these.
I want to get my one and only all rounder frag, currently using Ferragamo F Black. I smelled Sauvage EDP and I want that sexy versatility even in high heat. Can Le Parfum fullfill that versatility as my signature scent even in high heat?
Its not one I would personally wear in high heat. Its a little powdery and sweet.
What’s your opinion on Elixir releases?
So far the ones I’ve tried have been bandwagon money grabs.
@@gerardgeorge Now that’s keepin’ it real 😆
So as far as seasons go fall & summer day time are topically toilets?…. And the parfume are topically for the fall/winter evening time?……or is it the notes that decipher weather fall spring summer day time night time?…… I’ve been kind of confused on that.
There really are no hard and fast rules but I would say notes lend themselves to seasons as opposed to concentration. Citrus, florals, woods are usually ideal for warmer weather while sweet fruits, vanillas, amber, resins and incense for cooler days and nights. Again if you like it , wear it whenever but sometimes sweet fragrances can be a bit too much on really hot days.
Thank you so much this helps tremendously!!
I've just never been a fan of JPG. I find most of them too sweet. I think this one is less sweet but also leans unisex. Most unique of the flankers, but I rarely wear it(20ml sample). I haven't smelled the elixir
You definitely wouldn’t like the elixir then!
I have Le Male, Le Male Parfume, and a 10ml of Elixer. Glad I didn’t buy a bottle of Elixer since I love Le Male parfume best
Good choice! Same here.
Trying to get a better idea of which types of fragrances I should be using seasonal and daytime nighttime and also the strength of the smells how long they last and all that stuff
Understandable hopefully my response to your other comment helps!
isnt spices and wood notes on le male le parfun smelled like bad sweat odor? thats what im smelling
I don’t get that at all. I sometimes get it from other fragrances not this one though.
I wonder how elixir wlda been if they boosted up the tobacco n honey and churned down the sweetness a bit while using leparfum as the basis
Oh man. It would be better
@@gerardgeorge i think so. LP is awesome; theres jus something in it that comes off a lil sharp to my nose, do you get that?
@@edwardbrock3807 it’s probably the iris
And also are the elixir stronger then the parfume!?….
Elixir is not an actual concentration and they are typically parfums with elixir in the name for marketing purposes.
Le Male Parfum is my jam, perfect for me:)
Same here brotha!
Agreed… it’s been a poor year for new releases on the designer side
A lot of hype that just wasn't as good as I would have expected.
Sir I just bought the jpg elixir could I use it as my signature scent or do I need something more versatile.
I think Elixir will have you covered for many situations especially cool weather. The only other scent profile you might want to explore is something than is more office or school friendly which will be something fresh, bright and clean smelling.
just checked it out, i prefer Le Parfum to Elixir
Same here
Excellent review! Thanks very much indeed. ❤
My pleasure!
Le male imo is a bit bubble gummy powdery leaning kinda femine. A woman could were it and people would think its perfume. Its still great though, perfect for the night out. Cuba gold is kinda similar, but seems a little more masculine and synthetic, but weaker juice overall. Le Male Parfum is Great, but bordline unisex. Definitely wasnt disappointing when I blind bought the 6.7 oz for 100$ on ebay. This one is meant for night time. Less sprays is more with this one too.
That’s a great deal for a bottle that size!
Have them both, love both simple as that..
There you go Nicholas
could it be worn in a classroom, really don’t wanna be that guy yk
also would you recommend this for a date night as well 🤔
Yes 100%. Easy wear for both. I wear it more at night but its more versatile than that.
For me Elixir is my top. Le Parfum is too powdery ajd i dont appreciate powdery scent
Understandable.
Looking for this, I see some labeled intense... fake?
Nope that's real but more marketing than anything else. "eau de parfum intense"
man I hope they keep adding to the le Beau line.
Exactly! I’d be curious to see what they do with that line
Gerard, I love Le Male Le Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier. It is the BEST in the Le Male line and better than the new Le Male Elixir. We are on the same page with this fragrance. The latest fragrance release is not always the best. I think that Le Male Elixir is being over hyped. By the way, I love Armani Code Eau de Parfum & I think that it is better than the 2022 release Armani Code Parfum. I am sure that there will be an Armani Code Elixir later this year or early next year. These fragrance houses are so predictable. Every popular fragrance will have an Elixir release. I am expecting an Elixir version of BLEU DE CHANEL, YVES SAINT LAURENT Y, Acqua di Giò, DOLCE&GABBANA The One, AZZARO The Most Wanted, VALENTINO
Uomo Born in Roma, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb, VERSACE Eros and many more.
You are spot on Ed!
How did you just hold the bottle up FOR THE WHOLE VIDEO?
Damn did I??? All the pull-ups and chin-ups I’m doing are paying off hahaha
2:42 preach bro. I unsubscribed from all these fake reviewers
Thank you brotha!
Nice review love the video G stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks Antwain!
When i first got into fragrances the black physique bottle was a stand out in my mind but after smelling the og i didnt bother, now ive come full circle and have a sample on, its weak but it smells just right, yet strangely enough its sold out ecerywhere in shops and online.. why.. discontinued on me dammit, ive sampled the elixir and meh, im willing to spend the money on le parfum but i cant buy it lol
Are you in the US?
@@gerardgeorge aus
Great video. Well said.
Thanks Robert 👍🏼
Le parfum reformulated?
Not to my knowledge.
I agree with how you think. Subscribed!
Appreciate it!! 🙏🏼
bro i went into a clothing store today and the woman working there absolutely loved this scent on me. she asked me what fragrance i was wearing and i told her JPG but couldn't remember the exact name. i asked her if she likes it and she was like "yes! 🤗☺🤭" , visibly enamoured. Shortly afterwards she brought it up again and wanted to know what it looks like. so i searched it up on my phone for her and showed her the bottle. she was all giddy and flirty. insane effect!
I'm telling you Bob this one is amazing. Woman love it.
Ordered 200 ml 🎉sterk❤
Let’s go! Enjoy it
i need cardamom,iris lavender and dense airy musk cologne
Sounds nice.
@@gerardgeorge anyways since i havent tried over rated juices,am confusd which one to go for,d&g the one or dior homme edt?

What’s your budget Dawne?
Good video,thank you
Thanks Vance!
Wicked awesome accent . Worcester mass?
About an hour east! Thanks brotha
@@gerardgeorge I grew up in Merrimack NH and my parents are still there. Go to York Beach Maine to my parents cottage every year.
Le Parfum is dry and powdery. The Elixir is the same just a sweet and stickier version so they just exchange the dryness out of it.
Good description!
@@gerardgeorge ohh, Thanks 😊
My signature scent
Nice choice!
Sillage monster! Roof filler at 18 degrees and above. Easy to overspray in summer
Love it!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your reviews! Just hit that subscribe button on your chanel! BTW where are you from!? At times you sound like you are from NY, but then you don't. But what do I know? I'm actually Israeli 🤦🤭
Thank you Motti! I’m actually from Boston.
I totally agree with you! The Le Male Le Parfum is better than the Elixir. I hope to get Le Male Le Parfum for Christmas!
Let me know if you get it!
@@gerardgeorgeI definitely will!!
@@gerardgeorge I did not get it, I got Gucci Guilty Elixir with the Sephora’s favorite cologne sampler set with a free certificate!
@@gerardgeorgeUpdate, I got it ordered from JPG official website couple nights ago!!! So it’s on the way!!!
@@gerardgeorgeHey! I finally got it like 3 months ago!! I love it!! It’s my favorite cologne!
I agree i have elixir and le parfum and elixir is way too strong and boring i think ultra male and le parfum are easily are better
I agree.
Yeah I agree with you Le Parfum is better in my opinion, elixir is too strong and overbearing 😂
Exactly it took some things that are great about the Le Parfum and flipped it.
