Le Beau Le Parfum, the new fragrance by Jean-Paul Gaultier On the perfumery side, at Jean-Paul Gaultier, it all began in 1993. Indeed, it was in that year that the couturier launched his first perfume. It was a feminine essence named Classique. Then, this fragrance saw its masculine version appear two years later.
Remember: in 2019, Jean-Paul Gaultier presented Le Beau, a flanker of the timeless Le Mâle, itself born in 1995. Once again, in 2022, history repeats itself. This time, Jean-Paul Gaultier does not opt for the lightness of an Eau de Toilette. He favors the sexy intensity of a Parfum. Presented in a new bottle with a green-to-black gradient, Le Beau Le Parfum is considered one of the most intense olfactory variations in the entire collection. A breakdown of its composition follows.
The highly contrasted top notes of Le Beau Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier
Le Beau Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier is a very rich perfume, owed to the talented perfumer Quentin Bisch. Here, he sought to reveal the portrait of a seductive man, using multiple assets to win over hearts. And it is precisely this diversity that is found in this perfume, in terms of scents. Le Beau Le Parfum opens on a very nuanced note. On one hand, it relies on the tangy, fruity freshness of pineapple. On the other, it also signals that the man wearing this perfume is a refined being. Indeed, Le Beau Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier contains iris, one of the noblest and most expensive raw materials in the perfumer's entire palette. Its powdery breath is paired with a woodier freshness of cypress. This ingredient reinforces the virility of this fragrance. Finally, a touch of ginger is added to the whole. Here, the untamed character of the man is revealed in its peppery breath, while this ingredient suggests the aphrodisiac character of this essence.
Le Beau Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier, an exotic and woody heart
The man who wears Le Beau Le Parfum is bold and unafraid to reveal his personality (nor his bare body) to all eyes... Thus, he is proud of his masculinity and his attributes of virility. This natural charisma unfolds in a woody, dark and lasting accord. To this, however, coconut is added. This exotic raw material helps transport the senses. What is more, it should be recalled, it was also the star ingredient of the previous Le Beau by Jean-Paul Gaultier, from 2019. Here too, then, the aim is to preserve a certain creative consistency.
The wild and animalic sensuality of Le Beau Le Parfum by Jean-Paul Gaultier
Finally, little by little, the drawing power of this perfume intensifies. Gradually, in its sillage, it becomes extremely addictive. For this, it relies on the enveloping aspect of amber. Ambergris, for its part, reinforces its animalic breath. Indeed, as a reminder, this is a raw material directly expelled by the sperm whale into the ocean. Carried along by the currents, it preserves its suave side, while enriching itself with a salty, marine and sun-kissed scent. Finally, this composition ends with the more enveloping, toasted and milky scent of a duo of sandalwood and tonka bean.
