Launched in 2012, Classique X L Eau by Jean Paul Gaultier is an unisex fragrance that marries the crisp freshness of citrus with the warmth and depth of floral notes. Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud crafted this composition around a bright opening of neroli and bergamot, which then gives way to a heart of orange blossom and peony. The base features orris root and vanilla, creating a powdery, spicy finish that adds complexity and warmth.

Application Tips
Classique X L Eau is best applied to pulse points for a more intimate experience. The citrus notes are bright and fleeting, so aim for close-to-skin application to let the powdery base notes develop over time.
