Classique Essence de Parfum
by Jean Paul Gaultier
This intensely feminine fragrance opens with a spark of ginger and citrus, evoking a refreshing, effervescent core. It quickly evolves into a gorgeously creamy and richly sweet composition dominated by orange blossom, vanilla, and whipped cream, balanced by a subtle, warm amber and cashmere wood base. The result is a deeply sensual, opulent, and luxurious scent that feels modern yet timeless, with an aura of elegant sophistication. On cooler days, it becomes a powerful, intoxicating evening fragrance that commands attention, while still a wearable and appealing choice for spring or fall with a careful hand. The gourmand warmth of vanila and cream is never cloying, thanks to the bright citric top and a subtly powdery floral quality that anchors the sweetness.
