Le Beau Parfum

I bought a $16 4-sample set from MFK just to smell Baccarat Rouge and this was one of the other 3 I chose because I saw that many people love it. I think that if I had had the opportunity to smell all of the MFK fragrances and pick out the 4 sample ones instead of blind buying them, I would probably not have picked this one. But I'm very glad that I did! Otherwise, I would have missed out on its beauty! I lean toward floral *orientals*, not pure florals, so I took a big risk here, haha. I have to say, I don't regret it one bit! It's very very different from the fragrances that I'm used to wearing and that I gravitate toward. Le Beau Parfum is a very very beautiful and classy scent. It's spring sunshine happiness in a bottle. The woman who wears this is charming, sensual, lovely, and lively. If Blake Lively (I SWEAR, no pun intended) were to walk past me, this would be the trail of fragrance emanating from her hair. This perfume, however, is not light or dainty. It has weight and depth to it. It has presence. A little goes a long way with this perfume. Update (06/14/2022): I'm very sad that this perfume was discontinued. I rediscovered the sample today and smelled it again after a long time and I simply love it so much. I can smell some creaminess and a slight powderiness to it that I hadn't picked up on before. It's simply gorgeous. It's incredible that such simple notes can lead to such a rich scent... it has depth, but it's simple enough that you can identify the notes and that makes this perfume shine. There is nothing dark or mysterious about it. I second whoever called it a wedding day scent. I imagine an elegant bride in a delicate white dress. She has her hair down, jasmine in her hair, in her hands a tuberose bouquet. She has a dreamy smile, feeling the spring breeze as she strolls down the aisle, in a garden of white flowers in bright sunny weather. Only those closest to the couple are in attendance. I don't know why but I don't smell the syrupy/honey-like sweetness a few people have mentioned. It has a little bit of warmth, but I wouldn't call this a traditional gourmand fragrance. Perhaps I'm biased because I tend to love very gourmand fragrances, so maybe in comparison this doesn't seem close. I think that any perceived sweetness is all coming from the florals. If I could personify this perfume, I would say that at the very least it doesn't seem to be trying to be a gourmand fragrance. I don't smell any fruitiness either or any cinnamon, no matter how hard I try. It's fascinating to me that other people do. I can imagine a lotion smelling like this and, like the perfume, it would be lovely.

The first review: 'I was going to begin my review with "[This is a] very sweet white floral", but then I saw that JoeMacchiato had already written the exact same words below. Well, they are certainly true! But now I'm gonna have to be a bit more creative with my review. So, as those of you who may have stumbled upon my other reviews already know, I love Francis Kurkdjian's creations, but I detest tuberose (and white 'n' yellow florals in general). I have tested numerous tuberose fragrances, including such fan favourites as FM Carnal Flower, Diptyque Do Son, Cacharel LouLou etc. but none of them work for me. Moreover, I don't wear sweet, fruity and gourmand fragrances, because on my skin they seem to become even sweeter than they already are! Now, I was hoping that perhaps Maestro Kurkdjian might have created a sweet tuberose fragrance that I could actually enjoy. Alas... no. In spite of the name 'Le beau parfum', the combination of tuberose, ylang ylang and jasmine was so unpleasant to me that I had to scrub it off immediately. In addition to this, although the scent description does not mention any sweet notes, I swear to god that I could smell some sugary/fruity notes that further enhanced this already sweet floral combo. Maybe it's a fixative or something, but it reeks of those vanilla/pear/peach/cotton candy sugarbombs that I simply cannot handle.'

Le Beau is a happy and romantic fragrance that takes you down a warm yellow-lit path of ylang ylang and gentle tuberose. This is a warm yellow sun-kissed blonde of a fragrance. Le Beau is sweet and feminine and yet not mature or immature. I believe any woman can wear it and it can only add more grace and humble sophistication. This is ideal for a Spring wedding as a bride or a guest. It is not overwhelmingly heady and the projection when I wear it is about 2 feet. It lasts about 4-6 hours but longer on my clothes. The dry down becomes warm and the Jasmine almost fades completely, leaving you with a honeyed floral skin scent. I will only ever have one Tuberose fragrance and for me, this is the one. I do not smell any coconut thankfully, I cannot abide tuberose and coconut together. I also own the following Tuberose Fragrances Gucci Bloom, Tuberose & Gardenia Estee Lauder Private Collection & Florence Tocca. Once they are gone they are gone as this one is so much lovelier. This is a fragrance that leaves the wearer feeling pretty and happy.

My first impression of Le Beau Perfum wasn't so great, as testified by my original review of this fragrance, which has since been downvoted and removed (but it's still visible on my profile page). However, I decided to give Le Beau Perfum another chance, since I received a generous sample when I purchased MFK Absolue Pour le Soir and didn't want to throw it away. Guess what happened next: the compliments came flooding in! First it was my husband: 'Ooh you smell so good, what's that perfume?! It's wonderful!' Next up was my 12 yrs old son: 'Mum, you smell like a magic garden!' Then, my dad: 'Oh, finally you're wearing a perfume appropriate for a woman your age!' (Thanks, dad!) And then, my male friends (both straight and gay), random people in the street, an elderly taxi driver... they were all enchanted by this fragrance. Looks like this sweet tuberose works its charm on everyone but me! I'm definitely gonna give it some time - one never knows, it might eventually grow on me.

Le Beau Parfum by Maison Francis Kurkdjian smells of golden, honeyed ylang-ylang, fresh bundles of tuberose, sweet blossoming orange flower, and a touch of jasmine. Le Beau is blended perfectly, the notes develop into this beautiful spring bouquet that surrounds you in the most divine floral aura. I blind bought this and I can honestly say that I do not regret it, it is exquisite! On the back of the bottle label it says “Au Printemps” which translates to “In Spring” which accurately describes the season in which this fragrances makes you feel your experiencing. Makes me think of the song La Complainte De La Butte when I smell this! Le Beau Parfum was aptly named as I do think this is a beautiful perfume, I love wearing this and I get loads of compliments from everyone every time I wear it!

This is happiness in a bottle, the sunniest perfume I have come across. Makes me feel like I'm on a cloud sipping an orange blossom milkshake! I can actually feel the orange blossom and ylang ylang (I'm not sure I know what tuberose smells like, it could be tuberose I'm smelling) together with something ultra creamy and sweet, yet at the same time airy and somehow not gourmand. This is not a simple or simplistic perfume, despite the notes list being short. Therein lies Francis' artistry - it's done exactly right. I must admit that I've never come across a mediocre MFK perfume. I might not enjoy all (or most) of their offerings, because they're not really my style, but they seem to me of exquisite quality.

Wearing it now, feel compelled to write a review. I was so lucky to get a preloved bottle - MFK had stopped shipping to my country, and now they've discontinued this scent. Le Beau is a gorgeous, gorgeous white floral. A big, bold, warm white floral... Very sophisticated, charming in a typically French way, masterfully blended. As much as I love Amouage, Le Beau beats Amouage Honour for me (which is another beautiful, big white floral). I'm clueless why MFK would discontinue it; Le Beau is so French, so Francis K. I'll cherish my bottle.

I first smelled this in 2018 when I received a sample from the MFK store in Paris. So potent, so beautifully elegant yet charming, so different from anything I’ve smelled before. I wanted to buy it but the heavy pricetag made me wait for a special occasion to treat myself ... TOO LATE. This has been discontinued sadly and I am devastated. If anyone knows of a dupe for this I’d be elated.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris - Le Beau Parfum Eau de Parfum The elegance of flowers gilded by the sun's rays. Tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and orange blossoms seamlessly blended to perfection. This perfume reminds me of all the beautiful moments in life, such as my first romance and my first kiss. A signature scent of mine, to be worn only on the finest of occasions.

a really underated perfume! i think this is a true beauty! Feminine , clean, elegant , classy. What we think when we say "white floral" perfume. the Jasmine is the first thing i smelled when i sprayed it , after 5' it got more creamy from the tuberose and the ylang. I smelled devine for 5hs - i completly recommend it and it is on my list for a fyll bottle.

Youthful and springy tubereuse, not the tubereuse you know. It's not too bold, not powdery, not aged or musky, but quite the opposite. There is sweetness and a delicate body of light. Beautiful floral, great longevity. 8/10

Beautiful scent💗 very pleasant and warm. Good performance. I love to smell like Le Beau Parfum. I am enjoying my sample and will definitely purchase full bottle😇🥰 totally agree with Inenell😊

Simply beautiful! I am loving this more and more. I can't stop wearing it! And I only have a little sample! I think I will hav to buy a full bottle for summer..

masterfully blended. I don’t get that stinky tuberose aroma, it feels clean and pleasant. honey-like yellow florals with a bright jasmine. very enjoyable.

Please Mr Kurkdjian bring it back! In a world of fake superambered molecules called "perfume",:this is what can really be named this way

Wow... this is beautiful... creamy, sweet floral. Would be perfect as a wedding day scent! Extremly feminin.

Three words. Beautiful, Sunny and Sensual..... The perfect adornment for a smiling and warm woman.

If anyone is selling or swapping a bottle please PM me. One of my unicorns

A beautiful take on the classic theme of white and tropical florals. So warm, sweet and creamy and dense, almost like a caramel cream or a custard, but not quite gourmand. To my nose ylang-ylang is the main note, even more so than tuberose, and I always love how this flower manages to smell sunny and airy and at the same time classical. But the white florals are also noticeable and make the scent a wonderfully fluffy bouquet. For some reason I get a spicy undertone on my skin that reminds me of cinnamon which gives a nice contrast to the summery flowers. So, this is really pretty, but there is a downside. I usually don't care too much about sillage, I think it's fine that some scents don't project much, especially for daytime use. I also rarely have problems to detect a scent around me. But this is so extremely close to the skin that I never got a single waft the three times I sampled it, I always have to put my arm directly under my nose to smell it. That's just too weak, especially for that price.

Beautiful The first time I sprayed this, I thought to myself aww I have something like this already and I didn’t give it much thought. I then decided to test it again and I must say it’s a very beautiful fragrance. It seems not to last that long on my skin though (sadly). It lasted much longer when I sprayed it on the clothes; it lasted the entire day. I really like it and I would buy it but then I don’t 265 € like it;) if that makes any sense. I have another perfume which I got from all beauty, “Agatha Paris Perfumes, Ballade Champs Élysée “ and there is a very similar DNA there. There are some similar notes in both perfumes and that could also explain the similarities. I would suggest trying that one out before going all out on the MFK Le Beau.
