Pick Le Male Elixir if you want the lighter, more versatile lavender-vanilla-amber that works across more occasions. Go for this Absolu if you want the denser, more resinous version, with a bolder jammy plum up top and a thicker benzoin-labdanum-tonka base that leans firmly into autumn and winter evenings. They are the same idea at two weights, so the choice comes down to how rich and how occasion-specific you want it.

For daytime, yes, through most of the year. Benzoin, labdanum and tonka bean are resins, and they thicken as skin warms, so the jammy plum-and-cinnamon opening turns syrupy faster in humidity than it does in cold air. Lavender and artemisia in the heart are the only notes pulling the other way, and they go early. This is a cold-weather and late-evening fragrance by construction, which in Dhaka means air conditioning or the short winter.
