By the editors · 2 min readBeau Acute opens classic — a four-citrus stack of petitgrain, orange, lemon, and bergamot that reads like a textbook fougère opening. It's bright and short-lived, fading inside fifteen minutes.
The heart steps into the herbal canon: lavender at center with rosemary, sage, and clary sage layered around it, plus a thin floral sweetness from jasmine and rose to keep it from going purely barbershop. The lavender is dominant but not soapy.
The base lands woody and clean — sandalwood under cedar with vetiver and white musk. The drydown is a familiar shape, the kind of scent that reads polite and traditional rather than ambitious. Solid spring and summer wear for office or casual settings where a fresh aromatic does the right amount of work without drawing attention.
