Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Paradise Garden - real world fragrance review

[@joegreen5564]

Love the fact you wear it on skin in he video, always makes the review feel a more genuine. Happy to give you a sub 🙏

Thanks! I’m a big advocate of skin wearing and testing, some stuff smells completely different on paper.

Very much at the level of a gym scent, I’ve worn it and find it suits that really well. Cheers mate, hope you’ve had a good weekend!

[@SeldomlyOften]

Thanks for the comments as usual. Yes, it’s a harmless gym scent and there is nothing wrong with that 🙂

I am moving countries so I had a lot of Sephora points and I just wanted to buy some cheap fresh stuff to wear in Argentina's summer where I'll be living from now on. Since I love dark stuff I barely have freshies. I have Agua de Loewe, Paula's Ibiza from Loewe too... Ego Stratis from Juliette has a Gun... and a couple of common stuff like cool water and CK one... I bought Paradise Garden for the gym and just in general to spend the summer smelling good...

@@iluvj00 great gym frag, haven’t found anything quite as good since 👌

Thanks, great review. Subscribed. Just as a somewhat technical comment and AFAIK, all fig notes in current perfumes are synthetic and usually created as accords of coconut-type lactones with fruity or green aromachemicals such as stemone. While this type of accord is fairly robust, its balance depends on your perception limits, and you may notice the "coconut" sticking out more than people who get more of a fig fruit or fig leaf impression. I myself also got mostly coconut (gamma-octalactone?) when I tried this in store.

Interesting! I did not know it this but it makes sense 🙂

Ha! Yes I thought the tin can was a bit silly. More than one person ended up using a tin opener to open it 🤣 This made for a cracking good review though!

[@SeldomlyOften]

I get the novelty and the brand identity but it segregates the scent to a very young audience

[@boyetpogi]

would you use it on a date night?

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@boyetpogi depends on your age and season, but yeah, it’s an appealing fragrance and very safe for a date, not too invasive and relatively unique (most people don’t wear this version).

[@boyetpogi]

i’m thinking of summer night out with my gf, i’m on my late 30’s.

[@SeldomlyOften]

@@boyetpogi yeah it would work well for that scenario :)

@@SeldomlyOften i appreciate you thank you
