The Story

The heart blends aromatic lavender with herbal undertones, while the base offers warmth through vanilla and musky powdery accords. It’s an embodiment of Jean Paul Gaultier's irreverent and inclusive approach to design, translated into olfactory form.

Application Tips

One or two sprays are sufficient as this fragrance blooms quickly on skin. The minty top notes dissipate within an hour but leave behind a lingering warmth from the vanilla and musk base. Best suited for daytime when its energetic freshness can truly shine.
