The Story

Launched in 1992, Classique Eau de Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier is an Oriental Floral fragrance that combines the warmth of vanilla and amber with a sophisticated floral heart. Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud crafted this composition around a rum-laced vanilla orchid accord, which adds depth and complexity to the scent. The tonka bean and sandalwood base notes provide a woody sweetness that grounds the whole composition in a powdery warmth.

Application Tips

For a lasting warmth that evolves throughout the day, apply Classique Eau de Parfum to pulse points. The rum top note is bright but fades quickly, making way for the rich base notes of tonka bean and sandalwood, which bloom over several hours.
