About
Fragile by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Floral fragrance for women. Fragile was launched in 1999. The nose behind this fragrance is Francis Kurkdjian. Top notes are Tunisian Orange Blossom, Ginger, Italian Tangerine, Star Anise, Coriander, Bulgarian Rose and Bergamot; middle notes are Tuberose, Jasmine, Indian Ginger, Ylang-Ylang, Carnation, Iris and Rose; base notes are Amber, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Musk and Cedar. Voluptuous and mystic tuberose which makes you live \'dangerously\' rules in the heart of eau de parfum Fragile. As usual, Gaultier plays with our associations. Fragile is the warning word usually printed on the outer package with delicate and breakable items, and the box of Fragile was made in that fashion. It is fun and intriguing. Intoxicating smell of tuberose in the top notes is followed by raspberry leaves and sweet orange blossoms; pink pepper and other spices compose the heart, while the warm woody notes and light musk create a dazzling lingering trace. It was launched in 1999.
