The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1997, Jean Paul Gaultier Summer by Jean Paul Gaultier is an Oriental Floral fragrance that captures the essence of a warm, sun-drenched day. The composition opens with bright citrus notes that evoke the freshness of a summer morning before giving way to a heart of floral accords that add a touch of sweetness and warmth. The base notes of musk and vanilla create a sensual and enveloping finish, making it a perfect scent for those lazy afternoons by the seaside.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers, as it has a strong base that can be overpowering if used too heavily. It blooms slowly on the skin, so allow at least half an hour for the full effect to unfold.
