@ i don’t think that’s very fair. The amount of work that he puts into his videos are great, he’s not just a talking head. The fact that he’s not constantly flogging middle eastern clones and rating everything a 10/10 tells me he has an integrity to his reviews
In my nose JPG’s Le Beau Flower Edition is somehow similar to Guerlain’s L‘Homme Idéal EDP ("cherry“), which I love as well. And the longevity is 8+ hours on my skin. My wife and I are enchanted - A true masterpiece. De gustibus non est disputandum.
Based on the note breakdown I could really enjoy this, and as someone who is quite fond of unisex, maybe femme leaning freshies, like Soleil di Capri from Montale, this might be for my taste, but again, I'll have to try it first :)
Appreciate this Chris. A straight-up take is how we like it. 👌 Don't even remember the last time I sniffed a Le Male flanker. Le Parfum maybe? So yeah, it's been a while. 😬
I have never bought direct before, but just bought directly from CH for the new Bad Boy and was shocked with all the freebies they included. Even let me pick a few of the samples.
Sounds like they would have been wiser to bring back Fleur du Mâle. That was a bolshy fragrance that took out bystanders at the nostrils and was still going strong after a whole dusk to dawn London dance club tour.
Le Beau Le Parfum is a compliment beast and one of the best fragrances I own and I own Kilians, Manceras and expensive Tom Fords but that one is tight up there
Does this smell anything like Jean Paul Gaultier “Le Fleur? “Le Fleur” was and is still my favorite JPG fragrance. I still have half a bottle - nothing has ever come close to it. I’ve been wearing ROJA Lost In Paris now as my daily parfum. The short time period you explain makes me afraid to buy this. I buy every scent JPG makes, but this is one I can’t even find at my local stores to sample.
Disappointing, but probably for the better for my bank account. I loved and got Le Beau Le Parfum but haven't experienced the other Beaus yet, was hoping this would at least be unique. Thanks for the honest review, I'll still try and catch a wiff of it though.
You saved me some cash. My likings run very parallel with yours, so I'll take it as I will not like it. I've been putting off the Paradise Garden since I own LBLP... but I think I'll pick it up now.
Thnx for honest opinion, love the in depth detail, iam not a frag snob though i love Le Male elixir regular rotation, this line is pretty good but sceptic of this nee flanker
Performance issues probably down to it being brand new. I first got dylan blue it wasn’t too beast, after 3-4 years, that bottle is a monster lasts all day
I’ve tried it yesterday , and my first thought was : “ I can’t even smell it “ After a while could hardly smell it on my sleeve but still was a “ meh “ feeling … I’m a fan of JPG but this one definitely is a miss for me as well , I much prefer my le beau le parfum , and my fiancé adores it so it’s a win win
i just got ultra male it’s my first jpg and i’m in love it was a blind trade so i had no idea what it smelled like, i lean towards floral n woody scents so i think i might blind buy this one 🤷
I think this might be one for me. 🤔 I understand Le Beau wasn't a big hit, but it's so far my favourite JPG fragrance along with Paradise Garden. I prefer both over the Le Male Élixir too.
I think it’s only a matter of time before these unisex fragrances go out of fashion for ultra masculine smells. I’ll have a reason to buy something new then
The new Bad Boy Elixer is so far my favorite of 2025. That and Gucci Love Edition (if you count that one as 2025). I’ll try sampling this, but doesn’t sound like it’s for me.
It smells good. The longevity and sillage are the weak points. I feel like I'm only getting an hour or 2 out of this and this is sticking my nose straight to it.
Agreed, ive sold off a lot and narrowed down to 10 fragrances and a backup of each and I will only buy a new release if its better than any of the 10 Ive kept or I just cant go without it. Im off the carousel 🎠 and wont have a big collection again. Quality over quantity and definitely not both
Shame! I hope Le Male Elixir Absolu is a win instead. I own le male, ultra male, le male elixir and le beau paradise garden. JPG is an amazing house even though they release the occasional dud.
In the youtube world of hype and freebies it’s great to see your honest opinions on fragrances, whether positive or negative
He has too . Their run is over

I appreciate that you made the distinction between you not liking it and others, potentially, liking it.

Cool that they changed the box design! Was always so annoying having to use those can openers
just get your fingernails under it and pull...

I enjoy both Paradise Garden and Le Beau EDT.

Great review! Really looking forward to try it out, but I guess the original will be my favourite from the Le Beau lineup forever
This was never on my radar and thank you for making my mind up Chris
I’ll be honest i love the parma violet note so reckon i’m tentatively excited with this one
I want this fragrance, but because it sprays blue will it stain white clothes?

Hahaha the casual can opener got me good
I experienced the same thing with my jpg that just arrived today the projection is horrible the smell is not bad you simply cannot smell it

thanks for the honest review. i own paradise garden and it smells amazing, i feel this one redundant, also i dislike the bottle design, so zesty hahah
Fleur du Male is frankly a beautiful fragrance and a very high bar to compete with!
Disappointing, but probably for the better for my bank account. I loved and got Le Beau Le Parfum but haven't experienced the other Beaus yet, was hoping this would at least be unique. Thanks for the honest review, I'll still try and catch a wiff of it though.
I don’t like le Beau but love the bottle, so this flower version is worth checking out 😊

This is my favorite kind of fragrance review these days: pre-disqualifying things so they never make it to my "wanted" list 😁
Might as well save my money and buy another Byron parfums on your website 👀😎
I think its an ok fragrance, maybe a bit better in the summer. Not aure how they send a scent but dont send a sampler for this particular scent.
I think this might be one for me. 🤔 I understand Le Beau wasn't a big hit, but it's so far my favourite JPG fragrance along with Paradise Garden. I prefer both over the Le Male Élixir too.

Unfortunately I’m still going to buy it. Gotta catch the all lol
The new Bad Boy Elixer is so far my favorite of 2025. That and Gucci Love Edition (if you count that one as 2025). I’ll try sampling this, but doesn’t sound like it’s for me.
Shame, I've enjoyed Le Beau EDT in the summer. Brilliant ASMR unboxing
I hope the new elixir absolute is better.
Le beau le parfum is the best for me.
Thank you Chris.
I was afraid this fragrance would turn out like this. I need to sample le beau le Parfume and paradise garden
in le beau line imma pick up paradise garden
the end
Saved me some money 💰🤜🏼

🔥🔥🔥🔥
Im big fan of JPG. This seems like a pass. Thanks for the honest content! Also, great video work! I also enjoy the added effort.
Glad you enjoy it!
every 6 months a new JPG flanker. Not playing this game anymore. I rather stock up on Creeds, Guerlains, and Amouages.

@Jules_Elixir wise decision. 2024 saw only a handful of bottle-worthy releases. You don't need everything that is new. 3 new designers = 1 Creed.
@ Definitely with you on that 👍🏻 thanks 🤩 Any favourites? Mine are Neroli Sauvage, Millésime Impérial, and Original Vetiver
SMW, Erolfa, VIW, Delphinus, Aventus absolu, Viking
There is no game to play, and if there was no one is forcing you to do anything. Try it if you want and if you like it cop it
Shame! I hope Le Male Elixir Absolu is a win instead. I own le male, ultra male, le male elixir and le beau paradise garden. JPG is an amazing house even though they release the occasional dud.
I hope so too!
My wallet thanks you.
The most tacky bottles ever, actually puts me off. Le male elixer is lovely but I hate the package
Le Beau is okay, Le Parfum is on par, Paradise Garden is (bull)shit. It's like Kenzo repackaged, despicable.
🎉
that bottle is zesty lol
3rd!!!!!!!!!
This all “new “ type of flankers just coming and coming is just a waste of money
Worse than Le Male Lover??
Extremely disappointed... I admire the risks their taking. But they need to get back what amazing fragrances they've come out with.
You never smelled it STFU
1 st
its the woke edition.... this crap needs to stop.. NO THANK YOU
