Same as MB Legend but much better performance!

Despite the terrible advertisement in the picture provided above, Beau Acute does much more than what it suggests.
It is an interesting, light sweet, clean and a bit musky kind of fragrance. It’s versatile, easy to wear, fun and just a bit greenish and woody after a while.
Nothing is offensive in this scent. In fact, I wish it would push a bit further like Rasasi did with Hawas for example.
Beau Acute is not bold, it’s not that complex, but it fits very well in all kind of environment. Forget the colder seasons thouhg. This light sweet aroma tends to lead to a bitter kind of one.
Beau Acute is a great release by Armaf despite the terrible advertisement.
I should also mention the bottle that comes out as pretty unique. It’s high, like, very high. Im not sure why but because of that, you mightput Beau Acute in the back of your collection. Just don’t forget about it (it’s kinda easy to forget about it), and try it sometimes. It’s crowdpleasing, it’s worthy of it’s price and no more synthetic that mostly anything designer on the market.
Thanks for reading my review!

Decent fragrance, honestly reminded me of hairspray at first smell. It’s a fresh, inexpensive option for a casual unimportant event or the gym. Worth the price.

Straight out the bottle, it smells like A&F Fierce plus lavender. Drydown: exactly like A&F Fierce. I don’t get any Egoiste or anything other than Fierce, I think this was a clear attempt at a Fierce clone from Armaf and a good one at that. Unfortunately for me, I don’t like A&F Fierce at all, but I think you’d be happy with Beau Acute, especially since it’s an EDP with good performance.
As others mentioned, the bottle is huge. From the looks and weight of the packaging, you would think it’s a 6.7oz or even bigger but it’s a large 3.4oz.

I originally bought this in hopes of finding a less expensive substitute for Platinum Egoiste. To be honest, it smells nothing like PE.
However…I can’t get enough of it. IT SMELLS SO FREAKING GOOD. Weird name, tacky bottle, incredible fragrance. Sweet, juicy, fresh, and maybe just a tiny but sexy. Mostly just fun and uplifting. Perfectly safe blind buy.
As a side note, this one is almost identical to Ajmal BLU. I arrived at the office the other day and my coworker asked me if that’s what I was wearing. He brought the bottle in the next day and we tested then side by side. Not exactly the same, but very close. BLU is a little harder to find online and seems to be a little more expensive overall.

If you purchased this thinking you would be getting a very spot on clone of Chanel Platinum Egoiste, you would be disappointed. No more than a 50% clone to me.
Don’t get me wrong, they have similarities however Platinum Egoiste has more layers, noticeably changes throughout the scent life and has a slight outdated smell to it.
Beau Acute takes the Petitgrain and citruses from Platinum and makes them the STAR – like you barely get anything else, especially if you sniff it up close. The smell you get in the entirety of Beau Acute, you only get for like 15min to a half hour with Platinum before Platinum moves on to other stages – so keep that in mind when you’re thinking this is a spot on clone.
Also think this fragrance smells MUCH better in the air than it does if you smell it up close.
SUMMARY POINTS:
– a tart,sharp but very fresh and classy citrus-dominated fragrance with slight undertones of vetiver+jasmine; I have not tested Petitgrain in any fragrance other than Beau Acute and Platinum Egoiste so I’m assuming it is this note that gives this citrus freshie a different twist than most other citrus-fresh scents
– PERFECT all-year scent for the office and can be used to freshen up before and after the gym
– on my skin, if you spray 2 to 4 times on exposed skin (neck + wrists) projection will be more pronounced – but still projects for like 1 to 1.5 hours before becoming a skin scent that lasts for 7 hours max.
– I wouldn’t call this a romantic or sexy scent. Any occasion that is not calling you to be romantic or sexy, this will definitely do.
3.75 out of 5 stars

Got it in the mail today for $20 on Amazon. Huge bottle!! It’s kind of tacky but cool at the same time if that makes sense. Seems like good quality glass. At first sniff, it smells like AF Fierce or Dior Homme EAU. It surprised me that people were comparing it to Platinum Egoiste.
Then the dry down. This is where the similarities come into place. But it has its on smell so I definitely would not compare it to Chanel. Overall it smells great for the price and lasts a good while so I think it would be a great match for the office.
I would give it a 7.9 out of 10. Not quiet a 8 but still a great buy!!

Not Chanel Platinum Egoiste, could be a distant cousin I suppose. But make no mistake: it’s very good. Sweeter than PE and less harsh than AF Fierce, this is another excellent (and inexpensive) release from Armaf.

I own about 60 colognes and this is in my top 3 easy.. I love the way I smell in the car with the ac blowing.. have only worn it for two days and cant wait to put it on tomorrow.. I wish I can swap out my other bottles and wear this for the rest of my life… although I’m not surr how it will preform in the winter

not quite egoiste but the dry down smells soooooooooooooooooooooo good.. I just cant stop smelling myself.

This one resembles Versace Pour homme to me. With that one’s price, this one is only marginally less expensive. It’s not an exact copy, but it’s the closest frag I have in my collection to this one.
It’s really a beautiful summer light frag. In the realm of light and fresh. I really love the bottle. Longevity is about same as Versace. There’s a spice in Versace that I don’t get here, but it’s very close to my nose.
belaz345 – :
I have bought Beau Acute after a few reviewers claimed it’s a clone of Chanel platinum Egoiste.
Let’s make that clear : IT IS NOT A CLONE of Chanel PE !
If I had to choose – I would choose Armaf Beau Acute !
It’s mouth watering fresh and energetic . PERFECT FOR SUMMER.
Edit : I also own ICON EXPLORER by ga-de and they are very similar.

This was a blind buy having read and watched several reviews of Armaf frags and I am very pleased with it.
I know some reviews have said this is a PE clone but on my skin the similarities only come out at about the 4 hour mark, up till then it’s more like my vintage bottle of Eternity (albeit watered down) which really surprised me in a good way.
Projection is subtle on me, maybe an arms length, certainly not a beast like Lapidus PH or Bogart PH, but that suits this scent.
Longevity is high as I get 10-12 hours out of it, so again that ticks the box.
Light, fresh, unassuming but pleaaantly hanging round in the background.
Well worth the £16 I paid for it.

Crisp white shirt, boat shoes, french frames with french names, and a smile wide as all outdoors. Why? Because you know you have on a scent that appeals to all ages. It is not ground breaking, but a strong “dumb reach” when you can’t make up your mind what to wear or you don’t want to waste sprays on your more expensive juice.
Is this Platinum Egoiste? NO, but they have similarities. Basically, it is enough to say that this is copying it. However, do not buy this because it is a clone or alternative. Instead, try it because it fits the scent profile of a fresh citrus that is great for work situations and general work horse fragrance. It fits all situations.
Is works best in the warm weather. This is not a beast of a fragrance, but you can get a 3-5 hour longevity from this.
So what do you get from this? Petitgrain, bergamot, orange, lemon, with a splash of vetiver–MOSTLY. The performance is lacking, but well worth the price for the warm weather rotation. VERY inoffensive and safe.
