Well, well, well, look what we got here, Le Beau Eau de Toilette. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But what in tarnation is it? Seems like some kinda smelly water for fellas, I reckon. This here thing, it’s s’posed to be somethin’ special, make ya smell all good and stuff.
They say it’s from this fella, Jean Paul something or other, sounds French. Got this whole garden thing goin’ on in their heads, I guess. Dense vegetation, they say. Makes me think of weeds! I spent my whole life pullin’ weeds. Don’t need no smelly water to remind me of that!
This Le Beau, it’s the first man, they claim. First man in this here garden. Sounds like Adam in the Bible, don’t it? Causing a stir, they say. Probably eatin’ apples and gettin’ in trouble. Men! Always up to somethin’.
And get this, they got it all figured out how to use it. Spray it on, they say. For long-lasting effects, they say. Like it’s gonna last all day long. My John, he used to just splash on some Old Spice after he shaved. Smelled like a man, he did. Not like no garden.

- 4.2 Fluid Ounces
Now, they call this one Le Beau Male. Like, the good-lookin’ male, I suppose. Intensely fresh, it says. Well, I like a man who’s fresh, that’s for sure. Don’t want no stinkin’ fella hangin’ around. But 4.2 ounces? That ain’t much. John’s Old Spice, now that was a big bottle. Lasted him a good long while.
This here, Le Beau Le Parfum, sounds even fancier. Addictive, they say. Like you can’t get enough of it. Got some kinda wood in it. Coconut wood. Never heard of such a thing. We used to burn wood in the stove, kept us warm in the winter. Never thought about wearin’ it, though. And amber, like that pretty stone? Woody-amber, they call it. Lordy, these folks and their fancy words.
You can buy it at some fancy stores, sounds like. Dillard’s, they say. Never been to one of them. We just had the general store in town. Had everything you needed, from overalls to flour. Didn’t have no Le Beau Eau de Toilette, though, I can tell ya that much.
This Le Beau stuff, it’s mouthwatering, they say. Makes my mouth water thinkin’ about apple pie, not some man’s cologne. And again with that coconut wood! What’s the deal with the coconut wood, I wonder? Maybe that Jean Paul fella likes coconuts.
They got somethin’ called Tonka bean in it, too. And bergamot. Sounds like somethin’ you’d put in a stew. All these things mixed together, supposed to make a man smell fresh and powerful. My John, he was powerful alright, workin’ them fields all day. Didn’t need no fancy Le Beau Eau de Toilette to be powerful.
Now, this part is interestin’. Someone asked if it was discontinued. Like, they ain’t makin’ it no more. And this other fella says no, it ain’t. You can still get it on that Jean Paul’s website, he says. And it leads ya to some local stores. But they sell out quick, he says, ’cause of the hype. Hype! Like it’s some kinda big to-do. All for some smelly water. I swear, people got too much time on their hands.
And the skin? Don’t know about that. Probably makes your skin all soft or somethin’. John never worried about his skin. Too busy workin’. This Le Beau Eau de Toilette, maybe it’s for them city fellas who sit at desks all day.
They are all talking about this Le Beau Eau de Toilette. Seems important to them. Like that woody-amber thing. And the coconut. It’s all a big mystery to me. But if it makes a man smell good, I suppose that ain’t a bad thing. Just don’t know if it’s worth all the fuss. John always said, a good day’s work and a clean shirt, that’s all a man needs. Maybe he was right.
