To add to neoesoteric's advice, choose a steep lowpass filter, make sure to give the filter envelope attack between 25% and 50% the length of the decay to create that initial pop, and use a non-linear envelope curve such as quadratic to make the filter "snap" to it's hold value in the envelope.

Probably also a tiny bit of pitch modulation with an LFO to give it some life. But yeah, I think a lot of the sexiness here comes from the context.

It's also important how you place the notes. They're not all hitting at the same time, but slightly apart just like real fingers.

Even Flux Pavilion said he doesn't spend much time on every synth, the key is mixing, for example Zedd saws on "Break Free" sound so powerfull and yet good, they're pretty EQ'd on the mids and the kick makes a lot of the work

Im glad I am not the only person that really likes break free even though I really dislike all of his other pop creations. As far as the sexy french house synth goes getting the envelope and chords on point are key for the sound.

Though Fire Producer Luca Lush just released a sample pack with the synth your looking for. It costs 20$ but it might be worth it if your really chasing that lead. https://soundcloud.com/lucalush/lushbox-3  Im like 50/50 buying it right now because I love the dude so much but im pretty broke.
