The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021, Classique Xmas Limited Edition by Jean Paul Gaultier is a harmonious blend of festive and lasting notes. Jacques Cavallier Belletrud crafted this Oriental Floral fragrance with an array of vibrant citrus, white floral, and powdery accords that evoke the warmth of holiday gatherings. The composition opens with mandarin orange and star anise, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere that transitions into a heart of rose and ylang-ylang, softened by the gentle presence of iris and orchid. The base notes of vanilla, amber, and sandalwood provide a cozy finish, perfect for embracing the spirit of the season.
This fragrance is best applied in thin layers to allow each note to develop naturally. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so reapply sparingly throughout the day for continuous warmth. It reads beautifully close to skin and works well for evening gatherings.
