Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Le Parfum Review: Tropical Power

A deeper, woodier take on the modern tropical aesthetic for men.

By Vivir · · Updated
In 2022, Jean Paul Gaultier expanded its garden of Eden with the release of Le Beau Le Parfum. This 'Intense' iteration of the original Le Beau Eau de Toilette seeks to bridge the gap between playful summer sweetness and a more mature, woody depth. As a fragrance news reporter for Vivir, I have monitored the market reception of this flanker, which has quickly ascended to become one of the most discussed men's releases in the designer category. Crafted by the renowned Quentin Bisch, Le Beau Le Parfum retains the DNA of its predecessor but adds layers of complexity that were previously absent. The house of Jean Paul Gaultier has a long-standing history of pushing the boundaries of the 'Le Male' lineage, and this release represents a significant pivot toward the 'Le Parfum' concentration trend that has dominated the industry over the last three years.
