Smells Like — Like squeezing a tangerine over a bowl of whipped cream surrounded by jasmine flowers

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Essence de Parfum is a 2016 women's Eau de Parfum that takes the beloved Classique and amplifies it into a richer, more indulgent experience. This is Classique at its most luxurious and gourmand, wrapping the signature orange blossom in layers of vanilla, whipped cream, and warm cashmere.

It is sweet, feminine, and utterly irresistible. The opening features tangerine, aldehydes, and ginger.

Tangerine brings a sweet, bright, almost candy-like citrus quality. Aldehydes add their characteristic sparkling, soapy effervescence that gives the opening a clean, radiant lift.

Ginger provides a warm, spicy kick that adds energy and prevents the sweetness from becoming flat. Together they create an opening that is both bright and sophisticated.

The heart of orange blossom and jasmine sambac is pure floral indulgence. Orange blossom is the soul of every Classique fragrance, bringing its honeyed, slightly narcotic, creamy beauty.

Jasmine sambac deepens the floral experience with its rich, tea-like, intensely sweet character. These two white florals together create a heart that is lush, feminine, and deeply sensual.

The base is a gourmand dream of whipped cream, vanilla, benzoin, cashmere wood, and woody notes. Whipped cream is the standout ingredient, bringing an airy, lactonic, dessert-like sweetness.

Vanilla adds rich, creamy depth. Benzoin contributes a warm, balsamic vanilla quality.

Cashmere wood provides velvety softness. Together they create a base that feels like the most luxurious dessert you have ever tasted.

Essence de Parfum is perfect for fall and winter, ideal for evening events, romantic occasions, and moments when you want to feel wrapped in sweet luxury.
