How different from the others by Gaultier. It’s exciting at first, smelling like something pleasant, but after a few minutes, the absinthe destroys my nose. 🙁
At first, I didn’t like it. After a while, it smells like flowers starting to rot. In the dry-down, there’s a smell of shaving cream. Definitely not the best from Gaultier, or at least not for me.
How many copies of Le Male are there? I don’t know what else to say. I’m surprised JPG is still obsessed with exploiting a scent from 19 years ago. We know Kokorico failed, but instead of innovating with quality, they’ve returned with another copy, Le Beau Male. It’s synthetic, terrible, and forget about the longevity. The original, though overexposed, is a landmark thanks to Francis Kurkdjian.
I’d say it doesn’t resemble the traditional aroma. In fact, this is more intense; the absinthe gives it a dry, nothing-sweet smell, unlike the traditional version. I liked it.
I couldn’t say about the trail, but I loved it. Exquisite herbal scent, very pleasant. Clearly more for summer in my opinion, I recommend it.
I couldn’t say about the trail, but I loved it. It’s an exquisite herbaceous scent, very pleasant. Clearly more of a summer fragrance in my opinion; I recommend it.
How long will Gaultier keep making the same glass torso? Someone should tell him it’s time to stop… to invent another bottle and a more original name. I’ll stick with the original aroma; this one is synthetic, heavy, and boring (more than the bottle, which I’ve found everywhere).
This perfume clearly shows its phases, but generally smells of herbs. It’s not my thing, but I found it interesting due to its constant changes. I don’t think it’s a copy of the original Le Male; it’s a different scent, just like La Fleur; neither resembles the original, the only similarity being Le Male Terrible. Instead of keeping the same name, they should release perfumes with different names and bottles, because honestly, seeing the same thing gets tiring and you don’t even get attention anymore.
They showed me this alongside the classic Le Male, though I leaned towards the latter. They gifted me a card impregnated with this, and I must say, I loved it. While the original is sweet and vanilla-like, this feels fresh, slightly herbal, and very masculine. The only similarity is the bottle, which is actually even prettier. I didn’t test it on my skin, but judging by the sample, I’d say its longevity and projection are excellent, as with all Gaultier perfumes. I think I know what my next purchase will be.
A scent that overflows with freshness at first, then becomes drier but very pleasant. I wore it today and it lasted over 10 hours with good projection and trail. Ideal for spring, summer, and non-freezing autumns. It’s not sensual, but it does the job.
After Fleur de Male, for this unconscious nose, Le Beau is a worthy flanker of the classic Le Male. To understand why JPG has so many derivatives, one must see how they squeeze maximum profit from the packaging’s success. Perhaps that’s why Le Beau was born… The opening disrupts the classic base, balancing mint and absinthe in the top notes, reducing their use to hot days and seasons with a synthetic touch that feels more conceptual than aromatic. The white flowers justify the ensemble as a summer garden with sweet bergamot in a subtropical zone. I liked it: solid presence and semi-linear for outdoor commitments or night in polluted environments, where its arrogance goes unnoticed socially. Fresh and slightly green, like a sweet mint tablet, it settles on white flowers similar to Fleur at 3 hours, with short and long evolutions until the skin at 9+ hours. It sits right between Le Male and Fleur de Male, which is why it adds to the collection. 🙂 9.6
The original Le Male hit me hard, but all its flankers have left me indifferent. La Fleur isn’t for me, Ultra feels like a forced-upped version, the summer ones vanish in an hour, and this Le Beau I tried a few days ago… neither here nor there. It starts with a hint of the original, but then transforms into something herbal that reminds me of CK’s Eternity; since I don’t like that, I don’t like this either. Longevity and projection are nothing special and don’t compare to the original. A pity, I expected more.
After La Fleur, Le Beau is, for this unconscious nose, a flanker worthy of the classic Le Male. To understand why JPG has so many derivatives, you need to know that when they revolutionised the packaging, they realised they had to squeeze every ounce of benefit out of it. Perhaps that’s why Le Beau was born, to the fortune of those of us who enjoy it. The opening disrupts the classic base, emphasising mint and absinthe in the top notes, reducing their use to daytime and hot seasons with synthetic touches whose freshness is more conceptual than aromatic. The white flowers justify the whole as a summer garden with sweet bergamot in a subtropical zone. I liked it because it allows a solid, semi-linear presence for outdoor commitments or night out in polluted environments, where its arrogant nature hardly becomes socially transparent. It’s fresh and slightly green, a green like a sweet mint tablet, resting over white flowers similar to La Fleur at 3 hours, showing both short and long evolutions until its skin trail at 9+ hours. It sits right between Le Male and La Fleur, which is why it adds to the collection. 🙂 9.6
Le Male original made a huge impact on me back in the day, but all the flankers tried afterwards have left me indifferent. The Fleur is definitely not my thing, Ultramale seems like an anabolised a*men, the summer editions vanish in under an hour, and this Beau Male I tried a couple of days ago… neither here nor there. Opening with a hint of the original, then after a few minutes, on my skin, transforming into a herbal fragrance that reminds me of CK’s Eternity. Since I don’t like Eternity, I don’t like this either. Longevity and trail are nothing special, not comparable to the original Le Male. A pity, I expected more.
I bought it yesterday on offer at a local pharmacy and it won me over straight away: fresh, masculine, with heavy longevity and projection. It’s my first JPG fragrance and I thought it was a brilliant introduction. I agree with Marcus: if it works, why not go all out? If they didn’t sell as well as they hope, they wouldn’t keep making the classic man/woman bottle. It’s more of a summer scent, but in my opinion, you can wear it all year round thanks to its notes. If you’re thinking about it, don’t hesitate; it won’t disappoint.
Just adding to my previous review: I use it daily now since I’ve run out of 212 VIP. The longevity is superb; you can even smell it on clothes. I washed a hoodie that only had two sprays of Le Beau, and it still clearly scents after washing. Cheers!
It smells like an old catalogue aftershave cologne. This is one (if not the most) of the most synthetic perfumes I have smelled in its class (mid-range Designer), so much that suddenly my mind relates it to bathroom air freshener. I was going to buy it because the 200ml version is affordable, but I’m glad I ordered a sample first. An apology to those who like this fragrance, but personally I would never buy it nor recommend it.
Good start at 2 minutes, something repulses me, the pituitary saturates and I get a headache. Once in the dry-down it becomes a very good fragrance. It’s an herbal, stinky aroma, with an old smell similar to Paco Rabanne XS, it has that characteristic barbershop touch of the house. I like that it doesn’t lose its essence, but I’m scared by its synthetic side and it makes me not want to buy it. Good performance as all from this brand, the aroma is not bad, but it’s cheap composition for a high price. Discarded.
Well, I bought it blindly due to a good offer (that bad habit of buying without seeing or smelling) and here I am debating the pros and cons of this ‘Handsome Lad’. Absolutely green, aromatic, ultra-fresh mentholated, very fresh and traditionally masculine, seeming to improve as it dries. Its opening is potent, with dry and strongly herbal absinthe and mint. In the heart, lavender and bergamot mix (excessive); that’s the unpleasant point, smelling of dead flowers. Perhaps sage and some flower mix to generate vegetal aromas that finally harmonise well in the dry-down thanks to the saving musk. Refreshing, masculine, clean, slightly formal due to old-school fougère aromas, with little sensual intent. That’s it… Use it as you can. Ah… It reminds me of CK’s Eternity.
Wow, the aroma is unparalleled. I have been immersed in perfumes of different trends, always leaning towards CK or CH for men, although lately with CC. I am looking for who originated basic perfumes that are now the base for others. JPG catches my attention; I already tried Le Male, a vanilla masculine aroma that was the icon of a moment, a perfumed smile. I eventually finished with it. Then, immersed in niche like Jazz, I found Le Beau Male. An aroma for few, not for all. Perhaps the most refined won’t like it, but for someone seeking beauties like Dior or Chanel, this stands out over how powerful and magical an eau de toilette can be. It harmonises spiritual energy, stimulates libido, and gives a real hypnotic effect, a love spell. It’s not for many, only for few. The careless will say the toilet water is bad, without projection. I recommend it for people with brown or olive skin; if you are white or blonde, perhaps due to pH it won’t suit you. Use with a prior infusion of mint tea. At 10 minutes, I smell fresh mint and fine violets with light rose touches. At 20, lavender with sweet and delicate bergamot flower, it seems to disappear and peeks out at the skin with childish innocence. In the middle phase at 30 minutes, dominant mint and jasmine, I get the impression of YSL Jazz, with the absinthe or wormwood of its hypnotic image. After 8 hours, an increase in matured lavender and mint with sap and musk, to adorn ourselves with luck and passion of the bergamot flower. At 24 hours, it smells of nutmeg with tendencies to Polo Sport and Hugo Boss Extreme, followed by violet, jasmine, a strong hint of geranium, and an exquisite Lima-orange citrus that explodes delicately at the end. Every time I parked the car at the club, there was always a beautiful woman praising how rich I smelled. From being a normal boy, I passed to having a complex and rich group of women dying for the scent. It’s not for everyone, only for few who notice. One girl told me she felt the CK Eternity but in a more striking version. This is part of the magic. Greetings. Highlights projection 10/10, longevity 10/10, hypnotic power 10/10.
I bought it blindly for a good offer and here I am debating pros and cons of this “Bello machito”. Absolutely green, aromatic, ultra-fresh mentholated, very fresh and traditionally masculine, which seems to improve as it dries. The start is potent, with dry and strongly herbal absinthe. In the middle, lavender and bergamot mix (excessive); that is the unpleasant point, smelling of dead flowers. Perhaps sage and some flower mix to generate vegetable aromas that finally manage to harmonise for good in the dry-down thanks to the saving musk. Refreshing, masculine, clean, somewhat formal due to old-school fougère aromas and with little sensual intention. That’s it… Use it as you can. Oh, it reminds me of CK Eternity.
Without being a fan of Le Male due to saturation (I know someone who wore it everywhere and I ended up hating it), I like this Le Beau Male today. It moves away from the original offering something more herbal and fresh, without losing the original imprint. At first, it shows its DNA: lavender, mint, and a bit of absinthe that reminds of the original, but less sweet and more green. Then, bergamot and sage take shape over musk, creating an herbal and fresh illusion, soapy and with pristine cleanliness. In the dry-down, the musk wins, enhancing that sense of aromatic cleanliness until it fades to the skin. I like it; it starts similar to the original before taking a different path, much fresher. However, it gives me the sensation of wearing a bad imitation of any house that tried to copy Le Male; my brother bought a franchise imitation and it resembles this more than the original. The performance is moderate, 6 or 7 hours on skin, with notable sillage for the first half hour and then it drops. Appropriate use between spring and summer, or the warm part of autumn. Honestly, if you are a Le Male user, this work seems redundant and dispensable to me, despite liking it.
Without being a fan of Le Male due to saturation (I know someone who wore it to the gym and I ended up hating it), today I’m wearing Le Beau Male and I like it. It moves away from the original, offering something more herbal and fresh, without losing the imprint that lets you know what you’re wearing. The opening presents its DNA: a mix of lavender, mint, and some absinthe reminiscent of the original, but less sweet and more green. Gradually, bergamot and sage gain body over a bed of musk, creating an herbal and fresh illusion, soapy and pristinely clean. In the dry-down, the musk wins the battle, enhancing that sense of cleanliness and ending by fading slowly against the skin. I liked it: it starts similar to the original before taking a different path, fresher. But I have a strange feeling: being a flanker of one of the most copied perfumes in the world, it smells like a poor imitation of any house that tried to copy Le Male. I’m not taking away its merits; it’s just an impression. In fact, my brother bought a franchise imitation and I think it resembles this Le Beau Male more than the original. Moderate performance, 6-7 hours on skin, very noticeable trail in the first half-hour, then drops to moderate and stays there, declining until it fades. Appropriate use: spring-summer, warm autumn. Fresh and daytime. Honestly, if you’re a Le Male user and want to keep using it in summer with the current reformulation, you have enough. This piece seems redundant and dispensable, despite my liking it.
I had never tried the Critters family that emerged after the success of Le Male. Someone gave me a sample and I tried it without prejudice. It seems like an imitation, so bad and self-conscious that it looks like it was made by a copycat. It’s like when Almodóvar made *Paisans*. Le Beau Male is a watered-down Le Male with the same militant fougère of phosphorescent barbershop, but foamy, green, and with clean roughness. It evolves well: starts watery, moves through creamy and chav-style, and dies aromatic and old-school. The problem is that artificial aftertaste that makes you think of a five-euro imitation cologne. I’ve tried better things at Zara. I don’t dislike the dry-down, which is to my taste: rough freshness and white soap with sweetened lavender that doesn’t quite convince me. It smells low-key but present, with a whiff of camouflaged ambroxan, Eros-style. It’s not a disaster, but it’s a decaffeinated product that deserves to be in high perfumery.
I’d never approached the family of critters and parasites spawned by the success of Le Male. The other day someone gifted me a sample, and I wore it without prejudice. This is for peeing without spilling a drop; Gaultier itself has created a perfume that seems like an imitation. Like when Almodóvar made ‘Paisajes de los amantes’: so bad, jumpy, and self-conscious that it seemed like the work of an imitator. Le Beau Male is a watered-down Le Male with the same militant barbershop fougère spirit, but in fizzy, green, with a touch of clean roughness. A light summer cologne with marked evolution: it launches like watered-down Le Male, transitions like creamy, chavvy Le Male, and dies as aromatic, absinthe-heavy, old-school Le Male. Well. The issue is that it has an artificial aftertaste in all its phases that makes one think of a five-and-a-half-euro imitation cologne. I don’t know if it’s a disaster, but it is a decaffeinated product that adds nothing and deserves no place in a high perfumery stand, not because it’s an evolution of Le Male, but because of its five-and-a-half-euro cologne finish. I’ve tried perfumes at Zara with more quality and refinement. And look, I don’t dislike it; the banal dry-down suits my taste: rough freshness and white soap, though with a sweetened lavender that doesn’t quite convince me. Am I the only one smelling a very low but present camouflaged ambroxan whiff, like Eros and co.?
They gave it to me last year and it’s one of the ones I wear most on my clothes. It has long-lasting power and a savoury herbal scent, very fresh for summer. At first, it didn’t convince me, but afterwards I let myself be carried away by that freshness and by what people told me when I wore it. It’s for any age, something classic in my opinion.
I like fresh, light, and citrusy aromas. I tested this perfume several times in the shopping centre and always liked it. When I bought it, it wasn’t what it smelled like; I admit that at first it reminded me of cat urine. Over time, I grew to like it, although it disappointed me because it didn’t smell like it did in the shop. Its aroma is light and pleasant, though it smells a bit synthetic.
“Le Beau Male” is a shock of freshness that later warms you up, giving you energy and an indestructible mood. I bought it when it was new and it characterised me; it’s one of my favourites alongside Cool Water and Carolina Herrera’s 2B. I only buy what speaks to me, to feel comfortable with my tastes. Upon application, I notice fresh mint, lavender, jasmine, and soft green notes, finishing with musk. Many find it synthetic, but on taste, there is nothing written. I regret it being discontinued; I searched desperately for old editions and this 2013 batch is as I remembered it: fresh and long-lasting, without letting you down. A great unique perfume from Gaultier that should have stayed in his collection.
Certainly a controversial perfume. A fresher version than the original, also kinder. It doesn’t slap you in the face or perfume rooms, but it’s nice. On my skin, the white musk with mint stands out, making it sweet but not cloying. How well perfumer Francis Kurkdjian works with musks. In my humble opinion, it’s the one that best fuses musks with other notes without becoming vulgar. He always adds class. A refreshing mint with musk that makes it wearable for moderate temperatures and daytime. It’s young, nice, and extroverted. Plus, at a reasonable price. I bought it when it launched and loved wearing it to work. It goes everywhere. Better with informal style: jeans and polos or t-shirts. It will make a very good impression. A synthetic perfume that shouldn’t necessarily cause rejection. It’s well-made.
It’s a polarising scent, yet fresher and kinder than the original Le Male. It’s not aggressive or designed to fill a room, but rather charming. On my skin, the white musk with mint makes it sweet without being cloying; Kurkdjian knows how to work with musk so it never sounds vulgar, but rather sophisticated. The refreshing mint paired with musk makes it perfect for mild days: youthful, friendly, and extroverted. At a good price, I loved wearing it to work and it performed well everywhere. Ideal for informal style: jeans and t-shirts. It’s synthetic, but well-crafted and unobjectionable.
What a great fragrance, unique and with few alternatives currently, and apparently discontinued. The musk, the herbal part and that floral citrus note combine so well and enhance each other, without any one taking precedence. One cannot say it is floral, citrus or sweet; simply it is clean, fragrant and jovial.
When I bought it and saw it was BPI, I thought it would be something super monstrous. Mistake; I believe it has been reformulated because the scent lasts only one or two hours. It is not bad, but to last a minimum of five hours you would have to apply the entire contents. It has an herbal aroma that does not remind me of anything… It stays there, going neither forward nor backward. I feel nothing of the classic Le Male. Is it worth it? Only if you collect the brand and the JPG Le Male flanker. Very expensive for what it is.
@hiom84 being BPI does not mean it is a beast. This is a Le Beau Male edition; it has nothing to do with a Le Male. It was not reformulated; it was simply like that. Later, years afterwards, Puig released their Le Beau version which is what is sold now, but although they share the torso, they are different collections: Le Male and Le Beau. And yes, this is a very soft cologne, like the summer editions of Le Male, suitable only for collectors.
It is strange to try a Le Male flanker that is not absolutely sweet. This Le Beau Male has, in my view, one of the most beautiful bottles in the entire collection. Do you use Le Male all year round but find it heavy in summer and want something similar yet fresh? Then this is not your perfume, because it bears no resemblance to Le Male. If it had been called Polar Blanche by JPG, nothing would have happened, because really, I emphasise, they are not alike, like an egg to a chestnut. This Le Beau Male has an extremely fresh character that achieves its aim correctly: when you wear it, you have the same sensation as when you brush your teeth with minty toothpaste. Very well done, thanks to the absinthe and mint which give a refreshment comparable to tonics. There is lavender and it is perceptible. The problem is that it fades in minutes; when that green and bitter freshness goes, so does the potency. At skin level, only a slight bitter trace and a well-treated musk remain, as is usual with Francis Kurkdjian. In the end, that musk dominates with a sharp floral note that can give a sensation of cat urine, but it is no more than the bergamot or jasmine of the dry-down. Clearly a perfume for hot summer days, not mild ones, but those August days when you would bathe in ice. For as long as it lasts, it will give you that desired freshness. It compares to SMW by Creed, and yes, it reminds you of it at ten minutes due to those green tones with a metallic or ink aura, typical of Creed’s white fragrances. Beyond that, they are green and aromatic but do not look for similarity or a substitute, because you will not find it and will be disappointed. It lacks versatility; although the scent could be worn in any situation, its longevity and type of aroma restrict it to days of intense heat, knowing it will not last long and we will only perceive it in bursts. In terms of scent, I believe it has an unjustly low reputation. It is true that for current times it is rare; we have been accustomed to sweet perfumes and only seek those, or the fresh aquatic or citrus ones. But there was a time when greens dominated, and it is not a bad thing that occasionally a launch reminds us that today one can still wear them with taste. I recommend trying it before; it is difficult to find but give it a go. I wish Puig would bring back a Le Male along these lines.
Another fragrance they pulled from the market. This one is not easy; it is not pleasant at first, it comes out very potent and green but softens and ends up clean. It reminds me sometimes of CDNSillage which I also owned, but I think I am the only one who feels that way. Performance is normal/low and very suited to hot or mild climates. It would be a good option if they continued to sell it; it is still in the line but you cannot test it and you should not buy it blindly. Best wishes friends.
SHORT REVIEW: I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT, NOT BECAUSE IT IS BAD BUT BECAUSE IT IS UNNECESSARY. FULL REVIEW: Le Beau Male when first sprayed is 100% herbal; it smells natural but I don’t think it is for everyone. As it dries down, a delicious aroma emerges, like pear with caramel, very rich and sweet. In my opinion, it is sweet but not annoying; you always want to smell more (like many JPG fragrances). The problem is the longevity; it does not last more than 3.5 hours for me. That is why I say it is unnecessary; there are many perfumes with a better scent and performance. If you do not buy this, you miss nothing; that money could be spent on something better in your collection.
LE BEAU MALE: I don’t know why they have given it a bad reputation (which has nothing to do with the LE MALE line). It is true! But for me, that makes it wonderful. It is a very pleasant fougère; it doesn’t smell like the old days, it has something modern. It is a wonder for summer. I understand the complaints about longevity, what do you expect from such a fresh perfume? It has no oud or amber, nothing cloying. It is fresh and all perfumes like this last a short time, but it invites you to reapply it three times a day without getting bored. What is it like? To my nose, it is like smelling ULTRAMALE by JPG but a fresh version, without that candy-like sweetness. It has the same DNA but is ultra-refreshing. LONGEVITY: To be a fougère, it lasts a minimum of five hours, projecting excellently for the first hour and a half. RECOMMENDATION: If you are looking for something different, you have the JPG collection, you like Ultramale but find it too sweet, then yes. It is a filler in the collection and I believe it is already discontinued, so getting it is a treasure.
Le Beau Male launched as a super fresh version of Le Male. It lists eight notes, but I only detect mint, lavender and bergamot; I can’t catch the rest. It isn’t original; I expected something sweeter from Gaultier, not just a fresh summer cologne. It smells clean and summery, but that is all it says. I love its promotion with the glacier posters and the model melting the ice, because they sold us the idea that ‘this fresh scent warms men’. The longevity is decent, around six hours, but the trail is poor. The bottle is one of the most beautiful in the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male collection.
It is a wonder—fresh, aromatic, seductive and clean… In my opinion, this is a thousand times better than the new Le Beau fragrances.
I picked this up in 2016 and it is a scent I occasionally find myself missing. It transports me back to the past; it is a shame it is no longer available.
