Born in 1952 in France, Jean Paul Gaultier has managed to make a name for himself in fashion without any formal training . Sending sketches to various couture stylists Gaultier managed to get in the door at Pierre Cardin as an assistant in 1970. Setting up his own label in 1976, Gaultier’s edgier side came to light taking his inspiration more from the London street scene than Parisian couture.
Technically brilliant, Gaultier used his talent to parody the fashion establishment thereby redefining many fashion conventions. In the 1980s he recreated underwear as outerwear with the corset look and attempted to make skirts mainstream for men. His creations for those in the entertainment business were well received making him shine even brighter in popular culture. Interestingly enough his couture collections remained very formal though they were not without touches of his street influence.
Gaultier’s first women’s perfume, Classique, was introduced in 1993. It was meant to be reminiscent of his childhood yet a representation of his current life—fairylike and distant but still modern couture.

Top Note: The initial burst of freshness comes from bergamot, offering a vibrant and zesty citrus aroma. This is complemented by the sweetness of neroli, adding a delicate floral touch to the opening.
Heart Note: As the top notes fade, the heart reveals a warm and sensual blend. Orange blossom provides a creamy, floral sweetness, while sage adds an aromatic, slightly herbaceous nuance. A touch of costus lends a powdery, almost animalic depth.
Base Note: The long-lasting base of the fragrance is built on the warmth of vanilla, providing a comforting and sensual foundation. Sandalwood adds a smooth, woody character, while the amber-like qualities of tonka bean enhance the overall warmth and richness. This combination creates a lingering, masculine dry down.
