Fragile Eau de Toilette by Jean Paul Gaultier was launched in 2001 and crafted by the renowned perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. This unisex fragrance is a delicate balance of citrus brightness and white floral warmth, with tuberose serving as its central note. The opening mandarin orange and lemon evoke a fresh, invigorating start that transitions into the creamy sweetness of tuberose and raspberry, creating an intricate interplay between freshness and richness.

Application Tips
Fragile Eau de Toilette has a relatively short-lived citrus opening that fades within an hour. Focus on applying it to pulse points for maximum impact as the warmer base notes take over. The musky undertones are most noticeable close to skin, so layering with light clothing can enhance its presence.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.

The story behind the bottle.
The gentle hum of a city cafe in the early afternoon, where sunlight filters through the window and the scent of fresh citrus blends with subtle floral notes.
