Classique

Pear and bright citrus—bergamot, mandarin—snap open with a whisper of star anise, a licorice-tinged sweetness that edges the initial fruitiness. Orange blossom and rose arrive soft, almost creamy. The heart deepens into tuberose's indolic warmth, ylang-ylang's custard-like density, then ginger arrives with a subtle pepper that keeps the floral from settling too heavily on skin. Plum and iris add a faint dusted quality. By drydown, Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier rests on amber and musk, sandalwood's dry wood grain, cinnamon's warmth, and vanilla's gentle sweetness pooling into a creamy, lightly spiced skin scent.
