Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here thing, this “j.p.g le beau,” whatever that means. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city folks would say. But I reckon I can tell ya if it’s any good or not, just like I can tell a good melon from a bad one.
First off, they say it’s a fragrance for men. Now, I ain’t no expert on men’s smells, mind you. My old man smelled like dirt and sweat most days, and that was good enough for me. But this here “le beau,” they say it smells like… well, all sorts of things.
- Some folks say it’s got coconut in it. I like coconut, reminds me of them fancy cakes they sell at the county fair. Sweet and kinda… milky, I guess.
- Then there’s pineapple. That’s a fruit, y’know, kinda prickly on the outside but sweet and tangy inside. Growin’ up, we only had them on special occasions, like Christmas.
- And ginger? That’s that spicy root, ain’t it? My grandma used to put it in tea when we had a cold. Made ya sweat, but it cleared ya right up.
They call it “radiant” and “easygoing.” I ain’t sure what that means for a smell, but I guess it means it ain’t too strong, not gonna knock ya over when you get a whiff. And “delectable?” That just means it smells good, I reckon. Like somethin’ you’d wanna eat, maybe. Though I wouldn’t go around eatin’ perfume, that’s for sure.
Now, some other fellas, they made another one, called “le beau le parfum.” Sounds about the same, but they say it’s stronger, lasts longer. They give it a real high ratin’, almost a perfect ten. Said it smells like wood and… somethin’ else, “oriental” they call it. Don’t know much about that, but I guess it means it’s got some spice to it, maybe like that ginger again.
They keep makin’ new ones, seems like. There’s this “paradise garden” one too. But folks say it ain’t as excitin’ as the others. Just “good,” nothin’ special. Like a plain ol’ biscuit, nothin’ fancy added.
One fella was complainin’ that it don’t last too long, the smell fades away too quick. And he said it smells kinda fake, not like the real thing. Like them fake flowers they sell at the store, look pretty but don’t smell like nothin’. He said it’s “average” at best.
Now, listen up, this is important. If you’re gonna go buy this stuff, make sure you ain’t gettin’ ripped off. They make fake ones, ya know, look just like the real thing but don’t smell the same. You gotta check them numbers on the bottle and the box, make sure they match. And the numbers on the bottle should be carved in, not just printed on. Use somethin’ sharp, like a nail, and see if you can scratch it. If you can’t, it might be a fake!
And get this, they even stopped makin’ some of ’em! This one fella said the whole “le beau” line is done for, discontinued. So if you find one, it might be old, or it might be fake. Gotta be careful, these city slickers are always tryin’ to pull a fast one.
So, there ya have it. That’s all I know about this “j.p.g le beau.” Sounds like it smells alright, if you like coconut and pineapple and ginger. But make sure you ain’t gettin’ a fake, and don’t expect it to last all day. And if you ask me, a good ol’ bar of soap and some clean clothes is all a man really needs. But what do I know? I’m just an old woman who likes things simple and plain.
