Hayaati Beau by Fragrance World

I bought it over a month ago and after several tests, I’m sharing my experience. I own the original fragrances (JPG Le Beau and Le Beau Le Parfum) for comparison. Scent and evolution: There is a subtle difference upon spraying; the coconut note isn’t as creamy or prominent as in the Gaultier DNA, but after 3 to 5 minutes it settles and the resemblance is astonishing. It achieves 90% to 95% accuracy in its dry down. Performance: On my skin, it lasts a maximum of 4 hours. Although the performance is moderate, the quality-to-price ratio is unbeatable: paying $16 compared to the designer’s $100-120 justifies it completely, allowing reapplication without guilt. Rating: Scent: 9.5/10 (almost identical in dry down). Longevity: 6/10 (requires reapplication). Sillage: 4/10 (stays close to the skin). Price: 10/10 (excellent budget option).

As a dupe for Le Beau, there are better options. It was a blind buy and initially didn’t last more than four hours, but after letting it macerate for two months, it now lasts about six. It smells sweetly of coconut, not too creamy, but what I love most is the dry-down: I detect a light cardamom note with sweet, soft woody touches. Longevity (macerated): 8/10, Sillage: 5/10, Scent: 8/10, Price in Chile: 20/10.

For its price, you can’t ask for much, around $15. The scent is well-crafted from the opening; you can feel the best part of the JPG, but the only flaw is that it lasts a mere breath, literally. I carry the bottle when I go out to spray myself 10 times and they last at best 30 minutes; due to its terrible performance, I use it as an indoor ambientiser, haha. Apart from that, the scent is very well done, not alcoholic or synthetic, quite creamy. If you like smelling good in your personal bubble, buy it, but if you want to project, look at better Arab dupes 🤙.

In my opinion, it’s worth it; it seems like a decent clone of Le Beau with creamy vibes. The opening is heavy on the pharmacy alcohol smell, but gradually the similarity reveals itself. It’s strange to accuse it of being extremely synthetic when the JPGs aren’t very natural. Note: this perfume doesn’t aim to resemble Le Parfum.

I don’t understand @Kouzy’s comment. It’s a scent very close to Le Beau with a beachy vibe. Projection, trail and longevity are normal for today’s standards (1 or 2 hours plus 4 on the skin). Synthetic? Probably at the same level as JPG’s ingredients.

I don’t understand @Kouzy’s comment; it’s a perfume very close to Le Beau, with a beachy vibe. Projection, sillage, and fixation are normal for perfumes of today (one or two hours plus four hours on skin). Synthetic? Probably at the same level as the JPG ingredients.

None of the Le Beau Le Parfum dupes reach the mark; they always fail to capture the creamy pineapple accord. They tend to be juicier with lighter dry downs, more citrusy and less woody than the original EDP. They would make a decent dupe for the EDT but never quite nail the similarity.

In my view, another poorly executed dupe of Le Beau. The perfume isn’t bad, simply it doesn’t reach what it sets out to be. This fragrance is a midpoint between Le Beau and Asad Zanzibar.
