What wearers say
“Not good at all. Smells like melon florals with hardly any hint of the original DNA. I sprayed it on my hand hours ago and it's making me sick. The coconut is a sunscreen style coconut. Opening is atrocious and the drydown smells like the worst parts of Le Beau. Worst Valentino Uomo. I've been looking forward to this scent for months too, so disappointed.”
“I am enjoying this fragrance. It has a great, realistic coconut scent. The coconut in PM is not synthetic like LeBeau but a sweet and more natural vanilla coconut scent with the born in Roma backbone. Dry down is warm and inviting, very nice. This is a well-balanced fragrance with good projection and longevity 3 sprays lasts 8-10 hours easily. One of my favorites in my summer rotation.”
“Smells almost exactly like JPG Le Beau Parfum. Long lasting for an EDT. Unisex. It’s so similar to JPG LBP it could be a flanker/clone. Expensive for an EDT. Beautiful bottle. Coconut Cardamom Vanilla and Lavender beach holiday scent. Sweet. Summer/Spring. Daytime/Nightime. Age 16+. 8/10.”
