by Jean Paul Gaultier
Classique Eau de Parfum Collector 2017 by Jean Paul Gaultier delivers a rich, gourmand floral experience that feels both timeless and deeply personal. The fragrance unfolds with a soft, sweet bloom of rose, mandarin, and rum, followed by a warm, powdery heart centered around vanilla, amber, and tonka bean. The base settles into a creamy, boozy vanilla that lingers with a subtle ambery depth, evoking a sensuous, intimate warmth. Though some users find the opening floral notes sharp or fleeting, the scent gains depth and character after the first 20–30 minutes, revealing a crisper, more cohesive version of the original Classique. It is particularly suited for evening wear or colder months, where its sweet, full-bodied projection enhances its sensual presence. The perfume’s sillage and longevity are moderate to long, with many noting it lasts through a full day on clothing and over ten hours on skin.
