The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Classique Love Actually by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Oriental Floral fragrance created by the renowned perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The scent opens with bright notes of mandarin orange and pear, creating an immediate sense of freshness and sweetness. As it evolves, the heart reveals a bouquet of rose and ylang-ylang, interwoven with the subtle warmth of ginger and star anise. The base notes of amber, musk, and vanilla provide a grounding comfort that lingers long after the initial burst of citrus and fruit.
For optimal wear, apply this fragrance to pulse points in the morning. The initial citrus and fruit notes will brighten your day, while the base notes will provide a comforting warmth throughout the evening. This scent works best close to skin rather than projecting strongly into a room.
