Launched in 2012 by Jean Paul Gaultier and crafted by perfumers Annick Ménardo and Olivier Cresp, Kokorico by Night is a sophisticated unisex fragrance that blends the crisp freshness of bergamot with the warm richness of cacao pod. The heart notes of fig leaf and rhubarb add an unexpected touch of green sweetness, while the base of tonka bean and woody notes provides a grounding warmth. This composition captures the essence of Jean Paul Gaultier's inclusive and irreverent design ethos, translating it into an olfactory experience that is both bold and nuanced.
