The story behind the bottle.
Classique Cabaret Eau de Parfum by Jean Paul Gaultier, launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, is a composition that dances between the bright sparkle of citrus and the sultry warmth of vanilla and ambergris. The opening notes of citron and ginger introduce a fresh spicy zest, which gives way to orange blossom and marshmallow, creating a sweet yet floral heart. This blend culminates in an animalic and ambery base, evoking the opulence and charm of a cabaret performance.
Two sprays provide enough presence to let the fragrance develop its layers over time. The fresh spicy top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it to settle for at least ten minutes before venturing out. This scent is best enjoyed close to skin rather than in a wide sillage.
