Classique (for women)

I bought this... just because. I shop at random for others. I figure out who I'm giving what to, later. I'm with the majority vote. Mature, refined and romantic. Sweet, in an uplifting manner. Nice.

ArtELLE

Very nice, mature fragrance. Smells so elegant and classy. And Gautier...he is a great artist. So full of imagination and so daring!

this is such a womanly fragrance, its so sexy and feminine, there is nothing like this elsewhere and i always feel great when i wear it, and the bottle looks so sophisticated in my handbag x its quite a strong smell but it does calm down and it smells just beautiful....its my fave

I already own a bottle of Gaultiers MaDame and I love it so much. So decided to try another Gaultier scent and I decided to try Classique. At first when I sprayed a blast of powdery,rosy sweetness emerged from the bottle. But a few minuets later it became much less sweet and more elegant and classy. I think this scent is a little too mature for me but I would love to wear it once I get older :) .

This is one sexy, heady fragrance. It's absolutely beautiful and smells yummy. The bottle alone is excitingly appealing, exuding sexiness. The citrus of the orange blossom, madarin, and rose of the top notes mesh wonderfully together with the amber, musk, and vanilla of the base notes. I smell most of these notes in this fragrance. Ladies, you can't go wrong with this scent. It's long lasting and your man will love it.

I don't really get it why I haven't written anything about the bottle? It's certainly one of the best ever (there should be a voting about the bottles, don't you think?) and for me an all-time fave ! Artistic, inspiring, imaginative, at the same time sexy (it'a a nice feeling when you hold it by the slim waist :). I dream about having a collection of all the freaky versions!

Eau de moi

Very unique indeed. Just tried it again after 3 years and now this perfume fits me. It has classe, it has originality, it is really Gaultier.

KasiaS

What I really appreciate in Gaultier is that he is an artist and seems not to forget the value of originality.
Classique is the best example: strong, classy, sexy, appealing and chique, but also a bit uneasy and perverse.
A scent worth a real femme fatale. Makes me somehow think about Marquis de Sade, too.

MinogueParfums

I would like to say Happy Birthday to Jean Paul Gaultier today, and I'd like to say thank you for making the best perfume since '93.

This one definitely deserves to have the name Classique. It smells sharp, strong and a bit old fashioned but not 'old'. Today is warm day and sun is cruelly shining I thought I'd be dead in a bus, but as I smelled this on my wrist it was kinda refreshing and nice. At first it's very strong and very soapy on me. Like some classic floral soap. It has huge sillage too. Next it's becoming less soapy, it becomes more ginger with iris accompanied with orchid. This fragrance reminds me (in my fantasy only) of a woman who lives in 1930s and she wears elegant clothes and attends theater (where you can see 'heavy' wood furniture, and all romantic things you can see in old fashioned theaters and operas for example and some flats as well,- ugh, I dream to live in a dark old fashioned flat in old part of capital city :D )This fragrance for me embodies and blends all this thoughts together (I don't know how exactly buildings were in 1930s), but for sure it makes you think of things you think is romantic. The bottle is unique one for sure, but I'm not liking it that much. Lasting power of this fragrance is very good and sillage too is very good.
The dry-down is ambery and a bit dusty and is after some 5 hours.

Ahhh, memories! I bought it as a teenager for the bottle & the edgey, deep & sensual scent...but it never suited my skin. All the elements I loved were there: warm, sexy vanilla, musk & amber, playful rose, orange & pear....& then some inviting others: ginger & star anise. It smelled so decadent on others...but on my skin there was a staleness, almost a hint of bad breathe! I used it all up, but will not buy it again - strictly for others, but what an iconic piece of packaging!

Chatnoir

Such a cool, edgy bottle, such a so-so fragrance. "Classique" starts out floral and stuffy... and it stays that way. I noticed very little in the way of development, except that about four hours later, all you can still smell is the vanilla.

luz

Everything is amazing about this perfume: the blend, the trail (sillage). It smells spicy and soapy... the combination between orange blossom, ginger, ylang ylang and vanilla is really nice. The bottle and the name represent perfectly what this scent means.

Lunohodik

I smelled it for the first time about 10 years ago and ever since its a love-hate story.
I heard it for the first time when my stylist used to have it, I was about 18 and used very light permumes, she was a gorgeous grown up woman, who liked mink coats and glamourous clothes. On her I loved it, it smelled like sunshine to me. Very bright and I think very "summer" scent regardless that its sweet.
I bought it but couldn't wear it at all. So I gave it to my mom, and it became her signature scent ever since. Sometimes I love it sometimes I even hate it, when it seems to stuffy and overly sweet. In general Its a good perfule, but I wish it were more complex though.

Trinity

Oh my God! I think I just died and went straight to heaven!

This fragrance (EdP) is gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful, feminine, warm and sexy…..simply glorious! A masterpiece! Got this one today….bought it "unsniffed"…could slap myself now, for not ordering it earlier!!!

JPG Classique is not for young girls…..it is made for women 25 and up because it is serious stuff…..no playing around, rather making the rules and men have to follow…(and I guess they will)! ….hmmm…..I like that! :-) :-) :-)

Definitely a "Must have"!

Yana

My favourite for a special occasion. I have edt, it's more floral at the beginning and vanila-powdered at the end, very long lasting on me. Love it!

kayka

similar with poeme - lancome. but, it smell cheaper.

perfumes_addict

absolutely gorgeous!!! i get compliments every time i use it. men seem to be sooooo attracted to it ;)

Spring25

I like this one. It is light and strongly powdered, floral and citrusy, relaxing and uplifting all at once. The EDP seemed to have good lasting power on me. I layered it with the body lotion which was nice and light. Good fall scent. The design of the bottle is really cool too. I heard it was a similar to an old classic called Shocking.

krabby

I love this one. Too bad it gives my sister headaches. I'm just lucky because i'm on my second bottle and i didnt buy none... the former owner hated the scent so she gave them to me. I can't thank her enough:)

guest_amarilla

I love to layer it with the body lotion.
It lingers on you forever!
Men love it, very seductive.

Leo

Rose...rose...and rose...

No more...
Nice enough, but unfortunately it is not luxurious enough..

snobuni77

This is a very sweet seductive scent.It was also a bit syrupy on my skin.I got a mini of the pure parfume & it does last pretty long. I did also get compliments on it ;)

It isn't a scent I would normally go for as it hasn't any vanilla(that I can smell) & it isn't really spicy or too floral but it works with me really well.The sweetness it contains is unlike any I have come across(thusfar at least)& it makes me feel very feminine & sugar coated.The mandarin & pear are dominant on me & they make me feel like a sugar coated sexy mama =)

Malegria

Dear Montie M, what a marvelous review!It describes the fragrance so well!I tested it in the mall a couple of months ago,admired it for a day...would like o have it in my collection.It is like a key to feeling sexy and liberated.

Montie_M

Are you kidding me? There is no even a single drop of classic (aka old) in it. Truly haute couture, this one is bold, daring, sexy, and definitely ‘eatable’…umm, I mean, when a man sniffs you, big probability is that he wanna eat you straight away. Oh, well, I confess, not all of men, I am dramatizing a li’l bit :-) Back to business, if you feel extremely sexy (or pretend to be), then wear this one, a max of 3 drops will do. More, please harvest complains from your surrounding as this definitely harsh to unprepared victims.
Spraying it once, the top note bursts, giving the exalted feeling of cutting a sweet Californian mandarin orange (like you ever found one anyway) followed by heavy tuberose, jasmine & ylang-ylang. The dry down is vanilla and amber (mixed with a trace of ylang-ylang). Skip the ginger, iris and cinnamon. It never developed. Hint: find the EDP, fresher & fruitier than the EDT.

WardrobeMistress

This really didn't work on me. Far too sickly and sugary. Reminiscent of the bottom of a jar of old fashioned candy. I gave this away, it was that unpleasant to wear.

dutch mickie

always works on about every man. romantic, feminine, sensual, somewhat innocent but with the tendency towards naughty and sexually willing. so, all the ingredients are there. for myself though I search for a scent with a little more strength and spice. I prefer gaultier2

Sensuos

I finally got my own Classique (EDP)! The only thig I can say is that I simply LOVE IT! I am wearing it for two days and I can fell it constantly, even at night when I go to bed ...!
When I fist spray it I feel the sweetness of the rose, orange blossom and mandarin orange but after it dries down in a couple of minutes I feel I am surrounded by some sweet yet powdery notes of iris, ginger, musk and vanilla (which is not too powerfull) ...
I can only say it is my all times favorite! I love it!

honeypoppyseed

Oh and the commercial is a trip! Exactly like the fragrance, I love it.

honeypoppyseed

This, Coco by Chanel, Paloma, these are such chic fragrances. They are so classic, yet modern, they really apeal to women in all the major cities of the world, and I can only think of the most divine sophisticated women wearing them. Classique is a top all of these fragrances (well Coco is pretty up there as well) because I can remember it from when I was very VERY young on my mother vanity, and sprinkling (or what I thought was sprinkling) it all over and hoping to has some of her appeal rub off on me.

I adore this fragrance, and as par with my usual comment, I do has age appropriations for this fragrance as well: No younger than 25, and employed in someway or another. A woman who wears this must be experienced otherwise she will disappoint.

Ayse

I bought this perfume about 4 yrs ago (protected it from the sun). I didnt use it for a long time, recently tried it again and absolutly love it. It smells expensive unlike some perfumes. Its a shame coz my boyfriend still hates it...

Ester

Got my bottle of EDT recently. I bought 20ml bottle and it’s so quite! I feel good and comfortable, wearing this perfume. It’s sexy and self-confident.

scarlett5stam

i like it, it's soapy and sweet floral but I'm not in love enough for buy...

sapphire73

One of my favourite all time perfumes. It's feminine, musky and vanilly (if that's a word!) Pure woman!

sjanira

You know when you first spray a perfume and take a sniff and you say to yourself "Wow that's good" that's the reaction I had when I first sniffed this. Very sexy and intoxicating scent. I have the bottle with the lace on it and it's very pretty. This is definitely worth buying, it was a smart unsniffed purchase for me. Classic and definitely worth trying.

leababe10

hello
this is one of my favourites. warm and seductive.
i love overpowering purfumes. so this one is for me.

gyftedgrammy

I cannot say enough good things about this fragrance. A girlfriend gave me this as a gift for my birthday about 8 years ago. Knocked my socks off. It is heady, alluring and addictive. I have to wear strong scents but this one doesn't smack you in the face with it's presence; as a matter of fact, the more of it I apply, the more frequent the compliments. I layer the EDP with the body cream and shower gel. If the words sexy, sassy and irresistible make you uncomfortable, proceed with caution!

Jasper

Very warm and sexy. This is the mother of all oriental-floral.(Designer's fragrance, that is.) I understand now why lots of lady outhere can't live without it. Sweet top, almost too sweet for my taste. if you dislike sickly sweet perfume, you can choke before the middle notes appear. After the intoxicating opening, there is the true "Classique" revealed. The oriental floral notes are a work of arts, smells very faminine and elegant. And the dry down....oh so addictive and sensual. Absolute plasure!

annehke

This perfume transforms its potent prescence, into an aura around the wearer.The scent is warm and smooth in a comforting way, and at the same time challenging and a bit forceful. However, The perfume is never obnoxious, it stays with the wearer, close to the skin, providing a second sense of beauty. The floral notes combine well, the top and middle notes have good fixation, and the drydown is not flat or monotone! I would prefer a stronger ginger note, however,that is my personal taste. I think It makes a great gift perfume, but, it is not a 'safe' gift perfume!I firmly disagree with any 'Madonna " references. Again, JPG has created a unique, multi-fasceted scent, of high quality craftmanship.

guest_

i have to say that EDP is sensational ¡¡¡ deeply seductive and luxurious. This one, can put on you a delicious sensuous charm :) :) :)

golden

This is a strange one cause i think it depeneds who is wearing it? an italian friend of mine used to wear this and i think it suited her.Soft and classy.On the other hand an older lady , which i smelt it on smelt of cats pee.

model_wannabe

i like it a lot, sweet and powdery, even musky a bit. it's very simialar to Organza - Givenchy, only better :D

azuriiita

Powdery, sweet and sexy :D
Glamorous... To witty and sense of fashion women :D
This scent make think about lounge party :D

cdawnn1

I smell vanilla, amber, and a powdery finish. It also has a bit of a smokiness to it I would recommend this to people that like warm fragrances, like myself. It's definitely unique, which makes me drawn to this scent. My boyfriend calls this a "better version of Chanel no. 5." (he doesn't like no.5.). I can see where he is coming from with that comment, because it is powdery like no.5., but it has something extra to it, making it really sexy. I'd recommend!

Leukothea

EDT is a version that suits me more, found that out thanks to Sandrina :)) A must have!

nezzabel

one of favourites!
Definitely sexy, powerful and long lasting!
Perfect for autumn/winter.
It's seductive, classy and makes me feel "in control"!
I just adore it!

guest_lorena

this is my favorite perfume, its unique, sweet , elegant, romantic,it lasts well on fabrics and on skin of course. I dont use it everyday, only for special occations. I use Carolina Herrera, CH everyday

grati

yes, Jean rules; there's no perfume like this one...it's everything but serious:)

Sensuos

I must have this one ...
I tried it once and I can't get it out of my "nouse"!
It is feminine, sexy, elegant, powerfull ... delightful!
I feel it a little bit creamy!

Gina76

I love Gaultier Classic because it loves me. It is indeed sexy and teasing your sensual senses. The Edt fragrance in combination with the cream on a rainy august evening "face à face" event makes your total aura unresistable.

Marianne

I adore this one...especially the top is gorgeous! It makes me feel comfortable and warm...for me a typical winter scent.

argeada

One of my favorites as well! If a lady wants to be remembered, this is the best signature she should leave behind. I wonder, if I was about to choose one perfume only, would that dirty self-confident smile I have whenever I have this one on me, even for a moment be diminished?

takemyhusbandplz

Believe it or not I like Classique EDP layered with a very small amount of Dolce & Gabbana pour Femme lotion! Yummy. I haven't looked up the actual notes to this EDP, but to me it smells like victorian rose, amber, orchids, vanilla, and maybe carnations on a sandelwood base.?! It definiately has a warm, slightly sweet and very slightly powdery base.

It is what I would call an intimately sexy scent. It lies close to the skin and smells great on fabric. The lasting power is just incredible. Classique EDP lasts well over 11 hours on my skin. When I wear Classique I cannot stop smelling my wrists!

I think nearly every age group could pull Classique off. Tho, I'd imagine Classique on one helluva sexy granny!

guest_Zoe M

The name means everything in this perfume. Like the name it's very classique, so french, girly, perfect for a romantic date.

sandrina_bambina

This is one of my favourite fragrance ever. Very seductive and unique.L`eau d`toilette is a bit better than eau de perfume on my skin.Gaultier rules:):
