The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Classique Pin Up by Jean Paul Gaultier was launched in 2020, created by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin. This fragrance embodies the designer's signature blend of irreverence and elegance. The composition opens with a zesty combination of citron and ginger, which cuts through to create an unexpected freshness. As it settles, orange blossom and marshmallow introduce a soft, sweet floral heart that transitions into a warm vanilla and amber base, evoking a sense of comfort and confidence.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with a light hand; the fresh spicy top notes are bright but fade quickly, leaving the warm vanilla and amber base to linger. It’s best for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves from zesty freshness to comforting warmth throughout the day.
