Launched in 2022, Gaultier2 by Jean Paul Gaultier is a modern take on the brand's signature sophistication and inclusivity. Created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, this fragrance opens with a bright jasmine note that gives way to the warmth of sandalwood and the depth of ambergris in its base. The composition balances white floral and woody accords with powdery, warm spicy, and animalic notes, creating a scent that is both comforting and intriguing. Gaultier2 embodies the designer's ethos of celebrating diversity and beauty in all forms.

Application Tips
Apply Gaultier2 lightly — the jasmine top note is bright but fleeting. Allow it to settle into its base notes for a more nuanced experience. It works best in cooler settings, where the powdery and warm spicy elements can shine without overpowering.

“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.
