Glacier Bold

this is one of the most delicious fragrances i've smelled on my skin. it's fresh, sweet, and a bit tropical, with a noticeable pineapple note that isn't overly juicy but never feels artificial either. honestly, calling scents "synthetic" is overrated, especially since le beau edp itself has a slightly synthetic vibe. as a dupe, glacier bold does resemble le beau edp, but it also reminds me of the edt, sitting somewhere perfectly in between, it feels like the best way to describe it. beautiful, versatile, and likely my new signature scent. my husband, who usually dislikes masculine fragrances, finds it pleasant and easy to wear, even if it doesn't surprise him much. it feels very youthful, maybe even too youthful, making it perfect for a twink or someone who enjoys playful, casual, and seductive scents. i wouldn't recommend it for formal settings or if you consider yourself mature or are over 30. this is for carnal, informal moments where you want to feel attractive without trying too hard. overall, it's an incredible fragrance (and i haven't even let it macerate yet).

I'm gonna give you the facts with no BS since i figured most of the people in here haven't even tried LB/LBLP or own it... i do. 1. This is a hybrid scent, it is trying to emulate the Le Parfum dna but ends up being Le Beau EDT + Pineapple. Le parfum has this hard candy like sweetness that is not here, instead, you get a powdery, citrusy coconut, just like the EDT. I'd say 80% LB 20% LBLP. Side by side, the quality is like 15% worse in the Maison Alhambra, but definitely not that different. 2. I had reviewed this before, my older bottle was kind of a bad batch in terms of performance, plus, i go noseblind to this scent profile easily. I sold it and bought it again, this one performs way better. I get 5-6 hours of decent projection and sillage, stays on skin for about 8 hours. 100% beats my LB edt, but not a good performer as the Le Parfum, which easily gives you beast mode results. Spring, summer, fall and winter appropriate. Worth it 10/10 if you love JPG, overall an 8.5/10 for the average person, I'd see why would someone not like this, try it before purchasing.

I bought a 10mL decant of this stuff since I'm pretty uninterested on all of JPGs releases (I only enjoyed UM but hated og Le Male and Le Male le Parfum) but le beau le Parfum and elixir seem to get all of the hype, and I wanted to try either of them out. Although this is not an exact clone, most reviewers say it is like 95% close, and with me owning several Maison Alhambras I can definetly say that they are so good at cloning the real deal, some of them are undistinguishable from their inspiration. I've never smelled Le Beau LP but if it's this but better quality I need to get me a bottle of it. This is sweet, ambery and lactonic, I like the opening, but the mid dry down really clicked with me and my skin. I get 10 hours on skin with 3 hours of pretty loud projection. Quality is decent for a clone and I like how in my skin I can detect a smoky aspect, which I don't see anyone else mention. Great buy for a beginner, I might get a full bottle of this or the og both are probably excellent designer fragrances. 8.9/10

I rarely review but I must say this is by far and away my favorite of all the 22 fragrances I own. I am in love with the coconut and pineapple. However, it slowly fades into a powdery tonka bean scent. The presentation is awesome and the smell is even better. This scent is probably best used throughout spring, summer, and fall. It might cloy a little during the summer months but less sprays would remedy that. The only critique that I can say is probably the longevity. While, it does last a while, about 4-6 hours for me, I would've hoped it would have gone for longer. But its a $21 clone so I really can't complain. Especially since, everyone around me also agrees that this is my best cologne. This is my first review and for good reason. This is a summer-MUST 10/10.

This is a quintessential layering perfume, perfectly unisex and addictive on its own. The tonka really stands out to me, and only after it greets me does the coconut and bergamot hit. This is a rare instance which bergamot doesn't smell purely of fabric softener, but actual citrus. Rare being... this is the only time this has ever happened for me. For that alone it gets high marks. My only critique is a minor one I half-expected: it's just shy of arm's length. For a perfume I intend to layer with, that's not terrible. Hardly something to complain about. Because the tonka is so rich to me, I think this is a solid year-round fragrance. Especially if you live closer to the equator, it just makes sense. Coconut doesn't have to be restricted to one season.

The opening is a bit alcoholic, stronger than LBLP. I bought it as an everyday scent so I can save LBLP for special occasions. After 30 minutes, it’s almost indistinguishable from LBLP. The only difference I'd highlight is that LBLP has a slightly stronger powdery vibe and a richer tonka bean note overall more richness, which are less noticeable here. It definitely delivers on the coconut, and the pineapple gives it a subtly stronger top note. It gets a bit synthetic in the drydown and weaker, but it’s extremely close to the original—just a bit less smooth and creamy. I'd give it a 80% similarity. A perfect clone for me. Worth the money. Update, after 6 hrs it is almost completely gone, the LBLP is still there after 8 hrs.

In one word - Wowzies This is amazing, Smells exactly like JPG Le Beau Le Parfum maybe even better. The scent smells very tropical and the notes are very strong for those first hours. Tonka bean, coconut and vanilla are very heavy in this fragrance at the start but quickly turns into a sweet pineapple and coconut smoothie while being very easy to wear. I would say this is about 90% close but it has its own twist which imo is better than JPG. ISSUES - The only issue is its not the strongest and maybe lacks on the longevity. Longevity - 6-8 hours easily with 4 sprays. Sillage - Moderate Overall - i think this is a must get especially if you can grab this for under 25 pounds. 9/10

Had to update this one again after smelling the og. I'm on vacation in switzerland and decided to visit the local perfumery shop, and to my surprise, the entire jpg lineup was on display, including paradise garden. Since tiktok, the hype around jpg has caused them to be out of stock in all the states so l've never gotten the chance to smell anything but elixir, Imlp, and le male. I've worn maison alhambra's glacier bold a few amount of times and I always thought the scent was too in your face sweet, so I thought lblp would be different. To my surprise that powdery sweetness is the exact same as the og. 100% not worth spending the 150$ on Iblp when you could the same for 30$.

i just got one and tried it out on my skin: glacier bold goes a different path from le beau le parfum, more sparkliness and mintiness, the pineapple not as strong, less sweet and coconutty make this frag become little bit shallow, and not much wellblended. anw, its a super affordable frag, versatile and easy to love, just not as good as lblp in my opinion. ill let this frag sit down f a while, and come back for an update. edit: a month passed, not similar to le beau le parfum, much more coconut creaminess and citrus, miss the opening. its good tho, but i prefer lblp.

Upon the first opening it does smell 1:1 to jpg le beau le parfum. But as it dries down I see it a lot more like le beau edt. It's not as strong with the woodyness and amber of le beau le parfum and that's why I see it similar to le beau instead. The sillage it's not as strong, I can tell but, overrall for the price point it's very good clone. I'd say 90% similar to the le beau line, having the weird mix between an opening like le beau le parfum and the dry down of le beau edt

For me it smells about 85% close to le beau le parfum but my scent may not be as well since I have not a big collection but I do have le beau and I can say I really only smell coconut and vanilla from le beau and glacier is more sweet to me and you can defintly smell those three notes in it. I would say it smells better then le beau. but doesnt last very long I get about 3 to 6 hours with 5 sprays defintly would overspray for clubbing or summer. But its great

Writing a second review now that i spent more time with the original, some comments say this has some thing rancid in there and i have to agree, there's something fishy about this fragrance, a friend and i noticed right away but the thing is that the original LBLP also has this eggy fishy kind of smell that ngl smells like s*men. Im gonna guess it's the coconut accord, but if you can get past it this fragrance smells good in the air.

I’ve yet to try the original LBLP.. but here’s my thoughts. Blasts of coconut and pineapple in the opening and as it starts to dry down it becomes powdery while maintaining a solid amount of the sweetness. Creamy and milky.. and may be too cloying for hot summers? Lasts for around 6-8 hours on skin and in the heat, it can definitely project loudly for 1.5hrs. For the price I paid, it’s solid. Just may be a bit too sweet for my taste.

Incredible fragrance. The highlight is the dry down which on warm skin radiates this dense, sweet, tropical vibe. While dense it doesn't last too long and I found myself reapplying every 3-4 hours while mall shopping. It get's a lot better with time so don't be spraying this within the first week and thinking it's bad. Do your first initial 10 sprays, wear it normally and over time smell it evolve into something wonderful.

I have a decant of Le beau le parfum, and it is quite similar. However, the main difference is that glacier bold is a little lighter while the original is more dense and richer. But not comparing glacier bold to anything, it is an addictive coconut with pineapple and the classic JPG tonka bean. It lasts around 6 hours, with good projection. For $20 there isn't really much better you can get 8.2/10

Had this macerating for about 6 weeks. Initial thoughts upon arrival weren't much. But today I sprayed it before popping out to the shops. I had a lady approach me saying, "You smell gorgeous, what is it? "! She then walked past me again making a vocal inhale to get another sniff of it haha. It's a dead ringing banger for LBLP. Tropical coconut summer sensation!

Smells very good. Not sure what all these people in the comments are saying that "it smells bad" because this is probably 90% similar to the original. Bought it in November of 2024 and straight out of the box it smelled soooo good. Very coconutty and tropical smell to it. Highly recommend especially for such a low price.

I have both this and le beau, the similarities are very close, the coconut and bergamot are both very sweet in here, the only difference being that Glacier Bold doesn’t have that JPG DNA. Overall very good if you want a cheap Le Beau get this.

I bought it a few days ago, It is very successful in terms of scent, longevity is good for a summer perfume, I think the spread is not that good or I do not smell it, It is 85% similar to Le Beau Le Parfum. My rating for this is 8.5/10

For me i didn't smell the original one, but i really really like the smell of this one, i spray it on my arm just to smell it from time to time, just to know it doesn't project much it stays very close to you, overall i love it.
