Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Eau de Toilette 50ml Spray

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Eau de Toilette 50ml is the everyday-sized bottle of one of the most recognisable feminine fragrances of the 1990s. Composed by Jacques Cavallier and launched in 1993, Classique opens with star anise, rose, mandarin and pear, blooms into a heart of ginger, ylang-ylang, tuberose and iris, and settles onto a warm gourmand-amber base of vanilla, amber, sandalwood and musk. Houses in the unmistakable corseted-bust flacon — one of the most iconic bottles in modern perfumery.

About Jean Paul Gaultier

Founded in Paris in 1976 by enfant terrible designer Jean Paul Gaultier, the house brought theatrical, gender-bending wit to French haute couture. Its perfumery line — built around the corseted Classique flacon and the male-torso Le Male — extends that personality into fragrance, with both bottles widely considered among the most iconic in modern perfumery.

Who it's for

Classique suits women who like rich, sweet-spicy florals over fresh modern compositions — those who appreciate a fragrance with personality and presence. It is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for evenings, dinners and date nights, although many wearers carry it year-round as a signature scent. The 50ml size is the practical everyday bottle.

How to use

1. Hold the corseted-bust flacon around 15 cm from the skin.
2. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears.
3. Two to three sprays balance presence and longevity for the eau de toilette concentration.
4. For longer trail in cool weather, mist a small amount across the hair before stepping out.
