Longevity on skin
It lasts a medium time, about 3 to 6 hours on skin. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Xerjoff Torino 21 lasts longer, if that matters to you. If you want more hours, Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Eau lasts about 6 to 9 hours. Base notes like musk are the part that stays longest on the skin.
What Le Beau Male costs
The usual price in Europe is about €146. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Prada Luna Rossa Ocean but less than Tom Ford Mandarino Di Amalfi and Xerjoff Torino 21.
