About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier, launched in 1993, is an Oriental Floral that opens with a bright yet spiced burst: orange blossom, star anise, rose, mandarin, pear, and bergamot. The top notes balance citrus freshness with a distinctive aniseed twist, setting the stage for a complex heart. As it settles, ylang-ylang, ginger, orchid, tuberose, iris, and plum emerge, creating a lush white floral core with a fruity, slightly powdery undertone. The base of vanilla, amber, musk, cinnamon, and sandalwood provides warmth and depth, leaving a sweet, resinous trail. Collectors who appreciate bold, opulent florals with a gourmand edge will find this vintage formulation particularly compelling. It suits those who enjoy classic 90s orientals with a modern, provocative flair, ideal for evening wear or cooler months.
