Best Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Paradise Garden Dupe
Hawas Tropical is one of the closest interpretations of Le Beau Paradise Garden at its price point. The coconut, marine, and green mint opening is nearly identical in character, and the tropical-aquatic heart is well-executed. The base is slightly more woody and less ambergris-forward than the original, and the projection is a touch heavier, but the overall DNA is unmistakably similar. A strong choice for warm weather wear.
The coconut and green mint notes are faithfully rendered, but Hawas Tropical projects more boldly than Paradise Garden's elegant restraint. The base leans woodier with less of the original's smooth ambergris finish. Longevity is slightly better, partly compensating for the price difference.
