Jean Paul Gaultier CLASSIQUE Summer Fragrance, a Refined Fragrance that is Subtle

When it comes to fragrances, Jean Paul Gaultier defines and defies audacity at its finest. Although Jean Paul Gaultier is known for his fashion, in the past decade he has proved to society that he also has an understanding of what makes an invigorating fragrance.

When shopping at Sephora, I had the perfect opportunity to uncover one of the best new fragrances by Jean Paul Gaultier, CLASSIQUE Summer Fragrance. When I heard it was a lighter version of the original CLASSIQUE, I just knew that I had to try it.

Made up of rose, orange blossom, clementine zest and Sicilian lemon, Jean Paul Gaultier's CLASSIQUE Summer Fragrance is destined to be one of your favorite fragrances for the Summer season. One thing is certain, it is imperceptible, salubrious and energizing, which is a fabulous treat to the senses.

PROS

Is packaging everything? The branding of this perfume has got to be one of the most creative I have ever seen. The actual covering is incredibly novel, yet brilliant. The fragrance bottle is made up the female form, wearing a bustier and tattooed with vibrant red and blue spirals and curves. If you are looking for a product that has character based on it's tangible exterior, Jean Paul Gaultier's CLASSIQUE Summer Fragrance is the fragrance for you.

When it comes to choosing a great fragrance, I find myself becoming overwhelmed at the idea of what scents work together to create a fabulous one. The scents involved in creating this fantastic addition to Jean Paul Gaultier are rose, orange blossom, clementine zest and Sicilian lemon. The rose is very noticeable, but it is creates a very acquired scent because of the orange blossom, clementine zest and Sicilian lemon individual smells. The orange definitely is more acquainted with the rose, but blends perfectly with the zest and lemon. Although one may assume this fragrance has the potential of being overpowering and old fashioned, it is definitely not the case. In fact, it is more delicate and smells rather current. If you are looking for a fragrance that is light, you are going to love Jean Paul Gaultier's CLASSIQUE Summer. This fragrance is original.

Long lasting is key. I don't know about you, but I am not a fan of fragrances that don't last more than five minutes. The good news about this perfume is the fact that is lasts quite a while. The scent remains the same, as well.

CONS

This fragrance is a more subdued and faint edition of Jean Paul Gaultier's original fragrance CLASSIQUE. If you have smelled CLASSIQUE, you will notice the pairings of individual scents are more prevalent in that fragrance. If you are looking for a dramatic fragrance, you are not going to like Jean Paul Gaultier's CLASSIQUE Summer Fragrance.
