The story behind the bottle.
Classique Belle en Corset by Jean Paul Gaultier was launched in 2013, capturing the essence of elegance and sophistication with a composition by perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. This fragrance opens with the bright freshness of mandarin orange and star anise, which cuts through the sweetness to create a dynamic contrast. The heart of rose and ylang-ylang brings a floral warmth, while plum adds a subtle fruitiness that softens the overall profile. As it settles into its base, amber and vanilla merge with musk to provide a comforting powdery finish.
This fragrance blooms gradually, so apply it to pulse points and let it settle for at least ten minutes before heading out. Its powdery base notes are best experienced close to skin rather than from across a room.
