CDNIM Lionheart Man it’s the first time, after 150 clones tested, I feel confident in saying that it’s better than the original Le Male Elixir.

Lionheart is the best le male elixir clone 🔥

Sillage is a summer signature for me, but I would say objectively it's probably Lionheart as that is the most accurate clone in the lineup and this comes from someone who prefers Fragrance World's clone of Le Male Elixir, but only cause it's cheaper and easier to find.

Until I tried CDN Lionheart ("inspiration" of Le male elixir) I thought I hated vanilla in my scents until I got a bottle of it.

Other suggestions are Rayhaan Elixir (don't have it... and probably it's not as good as others in the list), Paris Corner Virilis, Armaf CDN Lionheart and FW Urban Man Eligir

I can get it for $47 which is steep (for me for one clone) but their mint note makes it uniquely different from other elixir clones.

It's like if you made Elixir sort of fuzzy and indistinct, then added some floral potpourri notes.
