The Laid-Back Seducer
"Le Beau" by Jean Paul Gaultier is a simple but alluring release: It's all about bergamot, coconut shell and tonka bean... And even the bergamot is just a little bit to introduce and balance the scent.

. So not much olfactory complexity here (apparently), although - IMO - it has an original and genial vibe. It's a very well made fragrance.

Sometimes simplicity is all you need to wear, and here you have a very nice charming scent with a little wink of wizardry.

- Longevity & Projection: The performance of this release is OK, about 6 to 8 hours with average projection first (+1h) and moderate later.

- Occasions & Mood: For me it's best on warm days, but not too hot (22° - 27° C): Warm spring & fall afternoons and refreshing summer sunsets.

Good for dates and hangouts with friends; chill, casual..."Le Beau" has a comfy tropical vibe that fits very well on these occasions.

- Conclusion: An easy, sweet and tropical-woody scent. Very cozy and a prominent seducer.

Le Bleu
Changes in men's perfumery happen so slowly they make glaciation look precipitous.

Eau Sauvage was king for 22 years before Cool Water stole his Fresh crown, and it was 17 years before Le Mâle replaced Azzaro pour Homme as the go-to fougère.

Bleu de Chanel has been around for thirteen years, so we may not be stuck with millimetric adjustments to its Spiky Wood formula for that much longer.

However, in the mean time; the flacon of Beau may resemble Le Mâle but the juice inside is pure Bleu.

Tropical, sexy, gourmand...
Definitely a perfume to seduce. A Fragrance reminiscent of a coconut-based tropical drink. Therefore, it combines a lot with the climate of my South American region. And it gets me compliments.
Regarding the lasting, it lasts wonderfully on my skin, an average of 10 hours.
Regarding the projection, it has an intense projection in the first hour and a half, then it gets closer to the skin, but always noticeable, it creates a kind of aura in me.

No brainer for some, solid choice for others
TLDR: If you're under 25 and live somewhere that its warm out more often than not, this is a no brainer as far as designer goes. (Overspray it though it lasts long but doesn't project without doing so)

For my proper review:
Le Beau, especially the edt is what I would consider to be the best scent on skin if you can say yes to 2 questions.
1. Is it over 60 degrees out?
2. Are you younger than 25?
If you check those 2 boxes, this is going to be what I would say is the best readily available fragrance from the designer market. This, Valentino uomo Born in Roma, and Prada L'homme L'eau, are what I would consider to be the 3 best designer fragrances. This isnt because of their scent though, I consider them the best because they provide something that is either unique, or lost. To brush over the other two, with Valentino Uomo, you get what is essentially Invictus aqua 2016 but made into something younger guys can pull off in any occasion and season. With L'homme L'eau, you get an undeniably unique yet inoffensive scent for work or school.

The reason I believe Le Beau to be the best thing from a designer for younger guys is because of 2 reasons, the first reason being that its so oddly versatile considering what it is and what its notes are. The coconut is strong at the top but you also get that tonka bean bringing it back down to being wearable in cooler temperatures, by no means does that mean this is the best option for fall/winter, even in the morning. But regardless of better options for those seasons its still absolutely wearable around that time (which is where age comes into play). My second reasoning is that Le Beau is just genuinely my most complemented designer fragrance, and not only is it my most complimented designer fragrance but it even stands up to some of the niche fragrances in my collection. Le Beau really does punch above its weight and even if its not the greatest thing I own scent wise, for some reason girls around my age range (sub 25) all absolutely adore it, Ive had friends of friends, acquaintances, all kinds of people who have told me that it smells gorgeous completely unprompted. This fragrance even earned me the coveted "Getting stopped by a random woman in public" award at the grocery store a couple months ago.

As for the review I'm going to keep it simple and sweet cause that's what this fragrance really is.
Le Beau opens up with an absolute blast of coconut and some subtle tonka bean which balances out the coconut. The bergamot isn't immediately noticeable in the fragrance but if you look for it, you'll find it. The bergamot is pleasantly received, but does not overstay its spotlight. Its still there for the heart but what you really get is that now woody coconut stepping down and making way for gorgeous tonka bean at the base, this is where this juice really shines. However, and my one gripe about this fragrance, is that its a beast that runs on adrenaline. And when that adrenaline fades, you're left wishing you sprayed more of it. This is the one fragrance that I decide to wear beforehand even if its still what I would consider to be casual, and that's because any time I wear it I make sure to spray at least 8+ times depending on the occasion which in result means I need to give it around 30 minutes or so to calm down, in spite of it not performing well in the department of projection. Anything you spray this on more than 1 time will smell like it till its washed pretty much. In summary, this is the best from the JPG Line and arguable the best designer fragrance relative to what it offers and what it brings to the table and really is a tried and tested complement puller.

Coconut fragrance for men
Very good scent. At first I can feel coconut flakes, and after a while the scent smooths out into a sweet and creamy coconut-tonka base, which lasts until the end. Its simplicity is only an advantage for it, a very pleasant comforter with good parameters (clearly noticeable 8h+). The perfect choice for someone looking for a coconut scent clearly on the masculine side.

Bright, sweet but not cloying, with a summery vibe due to the coconut. Good addition to the Le Male collection. Not great but decent. 3/5

After a short fresh-citric opening, this tropical Summer fragrance quickly settles to a sweet synthetic creamy-woody base. Good performance.
