The story behind the bottle.
Francis Kurkdjian crafted Ma Dame Eau de Parfum for Jean Paul Gaultier, launching it in 2010 as an embodiment of the designer's inclusive and diverse ethos. The composition opens with pink pepper and orange, bringing a fresh and vibrant energy that contrasts beautifully with the heart of rose and patchouli, which adds warmth and depth. The base notes of musk and Virginia cedar create a grounding effect, resulting in a fragrance that is both modern and lasting.
Apply this fragrance in a light mist to let the pink pepper and orange notes shine initially. As it settles, the rose and patchouli will warm up, making it perfect for daytime wear that transitions seamlessly into the evening.
