The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Classique Summer 2011 by Jean Paul Gaultier is a floral fragrance that embodies the designer’s signature blend of elegance and irreverence. The composition opens with African Orange Flower, bringing a bright citrus freshness that transitions seamlessly into a heart of rose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. This creates an intricate blend of white florals and sweet yellow notes, grounded by musk and vanille for a warm, powdery finish. Classique Summer 2011 is a proof of Jean Paul Gaultier’s vision of beauty that celebrates the diversity of women.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a more intimate experience — it reads best close to skin rather than across a room. The citrus notes are most pronounced initially but give way to the rich floral heart within an hour.
