“JPG Le Beau - Maison Alhambra Glacier Bold”
reddit post ↗“Maison Alhambra's [Glacier Bold](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Maison-Alhambra/Glacier-Bold-93645.html) is also extremely solid.”
reddit ↗“Scent is amazing like a slight coconut tropical, blue fragrance that still feels fresh, very close to Le beau”
reddit ↗“maison alhambra glacier bold, it's a JPG le beau copy, smells just like the original, lasts very well and is 5x cheaper for the same quantity”
reddit ↗“The maison alhambra one is fantastic and has great performance for me.”

Where people disagree
“Glacier Bold: I would recommend staying away from this one unless you're trying to see what Le Male Le Beau smells like. It smells 1 to 1 with the OG but lasts for around 10 minutes and doesn't project at all”
reddit post ↗“The two I didn't care for btw were Al Nashama Caprice (YSL LNDL Bleu Electrique) and Glacier Bold (JPG Le Beau EDP) which were both too overpowering to wear here in Hawaii's heat.”
reddit ↗“It’s really lackluster almost doesn’t smell like le beau edp at all”
reddit ↗“Glacier Bold (smells like Le Beau, but it is too powdery and it doesn't belong here)”
reddit ↗“it was very bad, it smelled more like a JPG le beau EDT than an EDP, lacked proyection and silage, there's better clones of JPG out there”

- Community members generally agree Khadlaj Island captures the sweet, tropical coconut scent profile of Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau.
- Longevity reviews are sharply divided, with some praising its projection and 6 to 8-hour wear, while others complain it disappears within two hours.
- While it is considered a solid budget alternative, some feel its inconsistent performance makes buying the original fragrance a better value.

“Khadlaj Island – 7/10 A solid surprise. A strong and affordable alternative to Le Beau DNA. Better longevity and projection than expected”
reddit post ↗“yes it smells just like JPG le beau. When I went to test JPG le beau to test the comparison the woman behind the counter asked why because she thought I was already wearing it”
reddit post ↗“Island khadlaj (le beau): it's 1:1, a coconut bomb, i smell the OG one week ago at store and it's definitely the same scent,but more powerfull, and it last 6-8h on my skin,he deserve all the hype”
reddit post ↗“If you're looking for a clone of Le beau check out Khadlaj Island. It's 95% there”
reddit ↗“Island is solid. Closer to JPG le beau than any other clone out there. Walked into a perfume shop wearing it, asking to try Le beau just to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Salesperson asked why I would want to test it because she thought I was al”

“Khadlaj is the first Island fragrance (Le Beau clone). That shit was so weak that I was able to get a refund.”
reddit post ↗“Yes smells very similar to JPG Le Beau but performance is almost nonexistent….”
reddit post ↗“What’s the point of buying a 1 to 1 dupe if it lasts like 2 hours max before disappearing completely? At that point, $70 more for the real deal is a no brainer”
reddit ↗“This is 30% Le Beau, Zero longevity, zero sillage, zero projection. Its one of those hype trainsl scents that definitely does NOT deliver.”
reddit ↗“First hour it smells the same, but with worse projection (way worse). Falls off hard afterward. Becomes nothing but a powdery scent during the dry down. I own all 3 of the JPG Le Beau’s. All 3 are noticeably better than this. Still, if mone”
