Launched in 2010 by Jean Paul Gaultier, Classique X is a floral fragrance created by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The composition opens with vibrant citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin orange, which give way to a heart of African orange flower and peony. These soft florals are enveloped by a powdery base of iris, Virginia cedar, and vanille, creating a warm and comforting embrace that lingers throughout the day.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so a second application after an hour can help maintain the initial freshness. For lasting warmth, focus on wrists and neck.
