Three different measures

Lasting longer isn’t the whole story.

Longevity
How long you can still detect the scent.
Projection
How far the scent radiates around you.
Sillage
The scent trail you leave as you move.

Bars use the same scale for every bottle. Projection and trail are qualitative ratings from light to heavy; they don’t describe hours at full strength.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Eau de Toilette Eau de Toilette bottle

Le Beau Eau de Toilette

Bergamot · Coconut · Tonka bean

Bergamot, coconut and tonka. The original.

The original Le Beau puts bright bergamot over coconut and a warm tonka base. We get 7–8 hours with moderate projection and moderate sillage. Start here for the simpler citrus and coconut direction, then compare Le Parfum if you want a richer woody scent with stronger projection.

Choose it for The original citrus and coconut signature with moderate presence.

Consider: Its 7–8 hours is the shortest range here, although it overlaps the lower end of the other estimates. Le Parfum and Paradise Garden have stronger projection in our ratings.

#1 for longevity
Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Le Parfum Eau de Parfum bottle

Le Beau Le Parfum

Pineapple & ginger · Coconut & woods · Tonka, sandalwood & ambergris

Richer coconut and woods. Strong projection.

Le Parfum builds a warmer woody direction around coconut, ginger, tonka, sandalwood and ambergris. It lasts 8–10 hours on our skin, with strong projection and moderate to strong sillage. Choose it when you want the fullest trail in this comparison alongside its richer coconut and woods profile.

Choose it for The leading 8–10 hour range, strong projection and a moderate to strong trail.

Consider: Paradise Garden also reaches 10 hours in our estimates, starting at 7 rather than 8. Their ranges overlap. Choose Le Parfum for its richer woody warmth and fuller trail, rather than expecting it to outlast Paradise Garden on every wearing.

Le Beau Flower Edition

Kumquat & lemon · Violet leaf & geranium · Cashmeran, tonka & patchouli

Citrus, violet leaf and soft woods.

Flower Edition moves through kumquat and lemon into violet leaf and geranium, then cashmeran, tonka and patchouli. We get 8–9 hours with moderate projection and moderate sillage. Choose it for a citrus and leafy woody direction when you prefer moderate presence to the stronger projection of Le Parfum or Paradise Garden.

Choose it for A leafy citrus and woody profile with 8–9 hours and moderate presence.

Consider: Its 8–9 hours overlaps Narcisse’s 7–9 range but starts higher. Narcisse has a lighter trail and light to moderate projection; Flower Edition stays moderate for both.

Le Beau, answered.

Which Le Beau lasts the longest?

Le Beau Le Parfum leads our comparison at 8–10 hours on our skin. Paradise Garden overlaps it at 7–10, followed by Flower Edition at 8–9, Narcisse at 7–9 and EDT at 7–8 hours. These ranges are estimates, rather than a promise that one edition always outlasts another.

Does Le Parfum last longer than Paradise Garden?

We get 8–10 hours from Le Parfum and 7–10 from Paradise Garden. They share the same upper estimate, while Le Parfum starts an hour higher. Both have strong projection. Le Parfum has moderate to strong sillage; Paradise Garden has moderate sillage.

Which Le Beau projects the most?

Le Parfum and Paradise Garden both have strong projection in our ratings. EDT and Flower Edition have moderate projection. Narcisse has light to moderate projection, between those two qualitative levels.

Which Le Beau has the strongest sillage?

Le Parfum has the fullest trail here, rated moderate to strong. EDT, Paradise Garden and Flower Edition have moderate sillage. Narcisse has light sillage. Sillage is the trail as you move, separate from projection around you.

How does Narcisse compare with Flower Edition?

Narcisse lasts 7–9 hours with light to moderate projection and light sillage. Flower Edition lasts 8–9 hours with moderate projection and moderate sillage. Narcisse follows bergamot, powdery musk and tonka; Flower Edition has citrus, violet leaf and woody notes.

Is Le Beau Le Parfum a pure parfum?

The brand sells Le Beau Le Parfum as Eau de Parfum Intense. Le Parfum is its edition name. It is a separate fragrance from the original Le Beau Eau de Toilette, and the name alone does not establish a guaranteed number of hours.

Are these performance ratings guaranteed?

These are our wear estimates for this comparison. Skin, weather, application and perception affect the result. Longevity describes overall detectability, rather than time spent projecting at full strength.

Where can I compare Le Beau prices?

Use the retailer options beside the edition you want. Matching eligible catalog offers display tracked prices when available. Flower Edition and Narcisse use reviewed unpriced listings until eligible tracked offers are available.

How to read this comparison

Longevity, projection and sillage are our wear estimates for this comparison. Longevity bars share a closed 0–10 hour scale. Rankings compare the displayed upper endpoint, then the lower estimate; identical ranges tie. Le Parfum’s 8–10 ranks above Paradise Garden’s 7–10, and Flower Edition’s 8–9 ranks above Narcisse’s 7–9. These ranges overlap and do not promise extra hours on every wearing. Projection and sillage are separate qualitative ratings. Light to moderate and moderate to strong sit between adjacent bar levels; the positions are visual guides, not measured percentages. Pyramids combine catalog tier details and selected Jean Paul Gaultier scent highlights to show the overall character rather than a complete formula. Narcisse’s three-part pyramid follows the brand’s bergamot, powdery musk and tonka highlights; musk artwork is representative. Prices come from eligible matching catalog offers when available.
