Mafioso’s Retreat Splash

It was so much fun working with the gang from The Canadian Mafia Show. When we spoke about this project,  BLou suggested a dupe of Le Beau from Jean Paul Gaultier. I never smelled this frag, but trusted Ben’s judgement on this. This is a relatively new fragrance from JPG and explains why there’s really no dupes of this. We found one trusted source, however, they wanted an astronomical price for a kg. I’m talking 5-6 times traditional pricing. So that what a quick no go. However,  I was intrigued by the notes, so I decided to visit Macy’s in hopes of finding this in stock. Thankfully they did and I purchased a bottle of this wonderful juice. Based upon the published notes and now having the fragrance, I knew I can recreate this from scratch. I previously did this with The Novelist (Histories de Parfums 1899), Emerald Moss (Sir Irisch Moos) and a couple others. The oils used are perfumers grade. The composition consists of essential oils, resins, absolutes, scent molecules and fragrance oils. I used Bergamot essential oil, real tonka, vanilla absolute, Spanish Cypress essential oil, real coumarin, Himalayan Cedar essential oil….you get the idea. 

Scent Notes: Bergamot, Pineapple, Iris, Spanish Cypress, Marine/Ozone, Salt,  Ginger, Coconut, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Coumarin, Australian Sandalwood, Amber and Himalayan Cedar.
