The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Classique Xmas Limited Edition by Jean Paul Gaultier is a fragrance that captures the essence of the holiday season with its Oriental Vanilla notes. Created by Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, this scent opens with a spicy ginger note that adds a fresh zing to the composition before transitioning into the heart of orange blossom, which brings an air of elegance and warmth. The base note of vanilla is rich and comforting, creating a cocoon of holiday cheer.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a warm and inviting presence. The spicy top note fades within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain its festive aroma throughout the evening.
