About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Fragile (1999) is a maximalist white floral from Jean Paul Gaultier, built on a staggering 100% white floral accord and 70% tuberose. The opening is a kaleidoscopic citrus-floral burst: Tunisian orange blossom, Italian tangerine, and bergamot are spiced with ginger, star anise, and coriander, while Bulgarian rose adds a honeyed depth. The heart is a lush bouquet where tuberose and jasmine reign, supported by ylang-ylang, carnation, iris, and rose—a classic, opulent floral tapestry. The base turns warm and slightly animalic with amber, vanilla, cinnamon, musk, and cedar, giving the perfume a sensual, skin-like finish. Collectors who love bold, unapologetic florals—think 80s and 90s power scents—will find Fragile rewarding. It suits evening wear, cool weather, and anyone who wants a statement fragrance that feels both vintage and timeless. The tuberose is the star, so fans of Fracas or Amarige should take note.
