The review
Strong contender. That is where Glacier Bold lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Le Beau.
Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Beau's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an eau de parfum, the strength most designer originals are sold at.
At $30 it costs 75% less than Le Beau.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: coconut water up top, immortelle and Tonka Bean in the middle, Ambroxan and musk underneath — the shape of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau.
Top
- coconut water
Heart
- immortelle
- Tonka Bean
Base
- Ambroxan
- musk
Creamy coconut and immortelle over radiant ambroxan — flirty and easy to love.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
