PRODUCT DETAILS

Gotik Elixir is an eau de parfum, 50 ml, with around 20% fragrance oil. It costs €25, the same as everything else we make, whatever inspired it. Free shipping applies from €49 and delivery takes 2 to 5 working days.

Le Male Elixir is sold as a parfum, a heavier concentration than the eau de toilette most people know from that line. Ours is built as an eau de parfum, denser than an eau de toilette and far from a light eau de cologne.

Longevity is 5 to 10 hours. Made with French fragrance oils, filled by hand, vegan and cruelty free. You have 15 days to exchange Gotik Elixir if it misses the mark.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Gotik Elixir is our perfume dupe of Le Male Elixir by Jean Paul Gaultier, the sweeter, heavier reading of a scent most men already know. Lavender and mint open it, vanilla and benzoin sit in the middle, and honey, tonka bean and tobacco carry the base.

The lavender is there at the start and then gives way quickly. What stays is honey and vanilla over a dry tobacco note, which is what makes this version so different from the classic. It is rich rather than fresh, and it wears close and warm rather than loud.

Gotik Elixir sits among our better known gourmand dupes, closer to a clone in feel than a loose alternative, and on skin it smells like the original within the first few minutes. Search for Le Male Elixir perfume dupes and this fragrance is usually the one people land on, since the honey and tobacco middle notes are hard to match with a lighter blend.

I was impressed by fragnance. It's very underestimated, sweet, long lasting and so much more. Also I got some extra compliments about it.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

CHOOSE YOUR LIFESYLE

Gotik Elixir, inspired by: Le Male, Jean Paul Gaultier - Chez Pierre perfume 50 ml

Inspired by: Le Male Elixir, Jean Paul Gaultier

This is a cold weather scent. Honey and tobacco get heavy in summer heat, but from October onwards they sit beautifully, and one spray is genuinely enough.

It suits evenings and dates more than the office. The trail is noticeable without being sharp, and it tends to stay on a jumper or a coat until the next day.

Gotik Elixir works for women and men alike, so treat it as unisex rather than a strictly masculine dupe if that fits you better; it is just as good for her as it is for him. Winter is when it performs best, and it is an affordable way to wear a gourmand fragrance without committing to a full price bottle.

Choose our Inspiration

Jean Paul Gaultier is a French fashion house, and Le Male has been one of the best known masculine fragrances since 1995, sold in the torso shaped bottle everyone recognises. Elixir is the gourmand reading of it, with honey and vanilla where the original put lavender and mint front and centre.

Most people looking for it search simply for Le Male Elixir, or describe it as the sweet version of Le Male.

Jean Paul Gaultier sits in luxury designer perfumes rather than niche perfumery, though the accord itself, that honeyed, tobacco heavy blend, gets discussed in the same reviews as some niche gourmands. Any review of Le Male Elixir usually points to that same warm honey opening.

Why choose us?

Gotik Elixir is our alternative to Le Male Elixir. Same idea, our own blend, made with French fragrance oils and filled by hand in small batches.

We make it only as an eau de parfum, because a gourmand base like this one needs the weight to sit properly on skin. If it is not similar to what you had in mind, send it back within 15 days and we will exchange it.
