Le Beau

I love the JPG le Beau le parfum, but this just feels like a shorter lasting, more feminine and one dimensional/basic version with limited projection. Le parfum version is a little deeper, richer and a little more complex with the brilliant coconut and pineapple opening. Yes, this is cheaper but I do feel that that really does represent a less brilliant product by comparison. My girlfriend wears the JPG le Beau regularly and I genuinely feel it suits her far better. Get a sample instead of blind buying as you may be dissatisfied if seeking a summertime fruit/floral purchase. If so, go for le Beau le parfum if keen on a JPG scent. I think this or both can be used year round honestly, rather than a dedicated warm weather scent.

There are many myths out there that say, “the higher the concentration of perfume oil, the better the longevity,” and I’ve heard them many times and ended up believing them all. As a result, I didn’t find EDC very attractive because EDT was better. Similarly, when I looked at EDT, I hesitated to buy it because EDP was far superior, and so on. But it turns out that this is not true, based on my own journey in looking for perfumes. Let’s take Jazz Club, By The Fireplace, Dylan Blue, Sauvage EDT, and Le Beau as examples. Their longevity is excellent, and their projection is just as good. For that reason, I don’t think you need to get hung up on whether it’s an EDT, EDP, or “pure perfume.”

This stuff is sneaky good. I prefer it over the le parfum, against popular opinion it seems. A little less sweetness. I know officially only three notes, but it seems much deeper than that. I cant stop sniffing it throughout the day. Refined, smooth, sophisticated, but yet fun, a vibe. I would say this can be worn anytime with exception of maybe really cold temps or very formal events. Not that it couldnt, but I would likely reach for something else in those situations. Performance for me is prob about 8-10 hours, with projection being moderate for about 3-4 hours. A+ and solidly in my rotation.

lighter, cleaner, and fresher than the edp. very simple with only three notes but it works so well. i find it perfect or both summer days and nights with that strong coconut dna which is mass appealing. it obviously isn’t the strongest, which is expected for an edt but it still projects with enough sprays. the tonka base adds a nice creamy warmth once fully dried down, which i like for summer nights. an easy to wear fragrance with a great bottle design too and really feels like summer. got me a compliment in a horror escape room from a live actor so it clearly must be doing something right 🤷♂️

A light and sweet creamy coconut fragrance. It is a bit synthetic but not in a bad way, the smell reminds me of one of those Barras de Coco cookies. Longevity is 6 hours on my skin which is to be expected with an edt. I prefer this over le beau le parfum because it’s alot easier to wear and the le parfum has this funky drydown that I don’t like. This is my 3rd favorite fragrance in the jpg line and it is one of my favorite summer fragrances. I'd recommend getting this fragrance over any of the le beau flankers especially if you like sweet coconut. 8/10
