Jean Paul Gaultier reinvents his most popular fragrances Le Male and Classique, turning them into “Belle Parfumerie” creations with a new touch of sophistication. Updated from our original story in June 2016…
Les Essences de Parfum include new compositions in Eau de Parfum concentration, offered in new bottles still in the shape of the male and female torso.
The range is available now in European travel retail before rolling out to the Middle East in October and the Americas and Asia Pacific in late 2016/early 2017.
Classique Essence de Parfum starts with a fresh spicy note of ginger. The heart of Sambac jasmine and orange blossom is placed on a sultry base of precious woods, vanilla and chantilly cream. The faceted glass bottle of the perfume features reduced breasts and more pronounced hips in comparison with the original. The fragrance is created by Daphne Bugey.
