Le Beau

Le Beau is a woody aromatic for men, created for Jean Paul Gaultier by Quentin Bisch and Sonia Constant and released in 2019. It is a short composition and reads that way: creamy coconut at the centre, bergamot brightening the opening, and tonka bean underneath turning the whole thing sweet and faintly vanillic. The effect is warm skin rather than tropical holiday, lactonic and smooth. Both its reach and its staying power are moderate, so it suits daytime wear in spring and summer.
