Classique

Classique, a Warm Powdery Oriental

Classique, in its iconic corset bottle, is a warm, powdery oriental. Our version keeps that character, opening with orange blossom and bergamot before a ginger, rose, and orchid heart settles over vanilla, amber, and musk.

The Story Behind the Scent

Jean Paul Gaultier built Classique as a celebration of curvy, confident femininity, warm and powdery with a playful edge. The idea was sensual glamour, soft but bold.

That warm sensuality is why it became a classic. The orange blossom keeps it soft, the ginger adds spice, and the vanilla and amber make it cosy. Our interpretation follows that same warm path.
