The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2005, Gaultier 2 by Jean Paul Gaultier is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. This composition opens with a powdery and sweet aroma that transitions into rich layers of amber, vanilla, musk, and subtle animalic notes. The scent embodies the designer's signature blend of elegance and irreverence, capturing the essence of Jean Paul Gaultier's philosophy on inclusivity and diversity.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for a warm presence throughout the day. The powdery notes are immediate, while the base of musk and animalic scents develops over time, making it perfect for an evening out.
