Le Beau Narcisse

I've never purchased a single JPG fragrance up until now because they're typically too sickeningly sweet, loud, or simply have notes that aren't my style. I passed by this bottle of Narcisse at Sephora and the design caught my eye. While normally I wouldn't give it a second thought, I sprayed some on a tester and immediately was enamored by it. Sweet, but not overwhelmingly gourmand like vanilla icing. Powdery, but not like lipsticky iris. Fresh, but not green or aquatic. And finally the best part: the tremendously clean and addictive musk. I sprayed it on skin and it got even better. Over the next 30-45 mins as I walked around, the powdery creaminess remained, but some of the sweetness faded away. It morphed into something even better as hints of white flowers (the orange blossom) and a base of silky tonka bean vanilla are pulled together by soft skin musk that dominates the fragrance. I happen to think it's unisex on a test strip and could see why some may even say it leans slightly feminine; however, on *my* skin it seems to lose some of the sweet powdery notes and actually gets a little more masculine. That musk works magic and serves to create a fragrance that I couldn't stop myself from smelling. I must have sniffed my arm 80 times in the next hour. As an aside, I get absolutely zero coconut from this and really have to make a stretch to say I smell even the slightest hint of bergamot. What is left is a simplistic, yet incredible package of notes. I purchased a full bottle two days later. In terms of longevity, this stuff is nuclear for me: I put three sprays on my forearm at 5 PM yesterday and can still smell it now at 10:30 PM the next day.

I don't get the hate here. Although it is very much different from any other Le Beau scent. I haven't smelled flower edition yet, but the rest I have. This scent starts off as powdery as everyone says it does although I'm not sure why people associate powder with baby powder every time something is powdery. It's got more of a sweet creamy scent that blends in to make the opening very nice in my opinion, however it can be perceived as feminine due to the overall sweetness with the powder. After that the dry down turns less powdery and more laundry detergent smelling with the sweetness being toned down a bit. Performance with this stuff is actually very strong on my skin. Very strong projection after 4 sprays and it last throughout the entire day for about 9-12 hrs. Le Beau Narcisse in my opinion is a good scent and I personally love it. It starts sweet, creamy and powdery. Then turns clean, musky and still a little sweet, its got some appeal. However this is not blind buy safe at all if you dislike powdery scents or if you're expecting traditional Le Beau DNA, that's not really there at all imo. Overall I'd say this is an 8/10 for me, its got its own weird charm and I can respect that.

First off Ignore any of the comments saying it smells like baby powder or urine (it does not). I blind bought this with no prior idea of what it smelt like, but the best way to describe it is, imagine orpheon edp by diptyque, but replace the bubbly element with creamy tonka, its a powdery floral with a beautiful creamy tonka dry down, thats somehow just creamy enough to still be classed as a summer scent. Imagine orpheon fused with fleur de peau. Only notes would be - summer scent but wouldnt wear it in any temp higher than 30 celsius to be fair. - is quite feminine if youre used to very masculine scents. - perfect amount of powderiness. MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: - if you like any of this frags listed below, im willing to bet you will love this frag. - Orpheon edp ~ Diptyque - Fleur de peau ~ Diptyque - Narcotic Venus ~ Nasomatto - Guilty elixir ~ Gucci - Reflection man ~ Amouage 1 Day later (edit) After a few wears I have to say it really shines on the dry down after 2-3 hours, it smells so beautiful. Definitely JPGs most artistic release when compared to mass appeal monsters like the le males and other le beaus

I love love love this. As soon as i tried it on skin I brought it home, immediately yes ! Definitely leans powdery and feminine i wear it successfully as a woman and its magical on me. It's floaty like a light blue cloud of feminine dust 💙 yet still also perfectly unisex. But it's amazing as well on a refined elegant man, a European man with a tailored summer suit and crazy amazing design sunglasses. Any man that understands this has a healthy sense of masculinity and it's incredibly sexy, while also exquisetely elegant. I love love love ❤️ To me its a more unisex and summer variation of Shalimar l essence by Guerlain. Chic elegant, powdery, airy, sweet, fresh. Can't get enough of it. Bottle beautiful, the perfect shade of calm blue exactly what the scent profile inspires. 10/10 Beautiful. Safe as a day scent, nights, dinners, work events, flights & airports, romantic dates ( just intensify the sprays) and it leaves a trail of pheromones that would make anyone feel hypnotized wondering what they smell in the air . Leave a trail like this in his car, or pillow it will be like a magic potion.

The Fleur du Male comparison is apt. Not perfect, but apt. I know chamomile isn't a listed not but it has that same sort of whiff of hay bale thing that Fleur du Male had going on. As it dries down, the comparison to Body Kuoros is also apt, mostly that camphor like resinous quality. I also kind of get the Tom Ford F*cking Fabulous vibe. Suffice to say, this smells like nothing else in the Le Beau line, for better and worse. It doesn't even smell like anything in the Le Male line (at least not anything currently in production). I never smelled the Fleur du Male Cologne flanker so I am unable to draw a comparison there. I could see this as being a pretty solid work scent. Doesn't seem like it's trying to drop anyone's drawers. Just maintains an interesting, clean demeanor for the longevity (which as it still projects off skin 6 hours later is pretty impressive). The best description I could give it is a more crowd pleasing Fleur du Male. Hope this helps and doesn't just add to the static.
