What does Le Beau smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is worn most for leisure and daily use, though it also finds a place on nights out. It reads masculine and modern.

It opens with bergamot freshness, with coconut palmwood at the heart. In the base, tonka bean sweetens the scent and gives it a creamy softness. Aquatic, fruity and gourmand accords balance the fresh air against the sweetness, with a woody trace in the background. Its profile is close to Maison Alhambra Bold and Zara C4SHMER4N.
