Classique Eau de Parfum Jean Paul Gaultier for women

I confess I am addicted to perfumes, I have a dresser that is ready to explode because of all those beautiful bottles of perfumes.... but classique is the queen of all, It surrounds you then it cuddles you and wraps you and remains there untill you decided you need another spray just to make sure it is still around.
So elegant, feminine and divine, will love forever.

What a difference with the EDT!
They both open with the scent of really good, 18 years old whiskey, but from that point, they could have been two totally different scents, instead of the EDT and EDP versions of the same name.
The EDP is more citrussy at the start, lighter, so much lighter than the EDT, which is dark, rich, sweet-spicy, chocolaty, cinnamonlike and flowery and continues the luxurious feeling of the wonderful aged whiskey from the beginning.
Gently following the light citrusnotes in the EDP are roses. Deep, dark roses, but not as dark and creamy as in the EDT. From time to time I smell a whiff of orchids, playing with the roses. Later in the drydown, the roses and orchids settle down on a bed of soft, warm, creamy vanilla.
I think the EDP is more grown-up than the EDT. As if the young, slightly decadent, strong woman that is the EDT has finally settled down and has become more charming, sweeter, nicer, less decadent and overpowering. Calmer, really.
Me, I'm young and decadent, and I definitely prefer the EDT. I loooooooooooove the spices, and the EDP is just way too sweet and calm for me.

Just an FYI and for informational purposes only, but the bottle with the figure with pink roses and black detailing is a natural spray, or without alcohol. Hope this helps in distinguishing the two EDPs.

I much prefer the Eau de Toilette version, but this one is nice too.

I did it. Congratulate me. After 20 years of avoiding anything by JPG, I've finally overcome my phobia long enough to pick up one of those gross little torsos to test it. I sprayed as quickly as possible so I wouldn't have to touch it or look at it any longer. The bottle reminds me of a cadaver. Even the pinkish color brings back memories of skinning and dissecting animals in high school. It all makes me very nauseous.

But the scent was worth a few moments of psychological discomfort! I could smell the orchid, vanilla, and rose very easily. Maybe a little pink bubblegum too. It's a very girlie scent--powdery, soft, and sweet.

I like it because it reminds me of so many other perfumes I like. It's like a deeper Chanel No.5 without the civet. It's like Dior Addict with roses and powder. It's like Stella Cadente Miss Me without the sweet cinnamon. Longevity and projection are great; better than most perfumes and better than the original EDT.

Notes are incorrect. Should be: Rum Essence, Rose Essence, Vanilla Orchid, Daffodil, Bourbon Vanilla, Sweet Amber, Sandalwood Absolute, Tonka Bean, Amber

I love it!! it's such a beautiful scent, very classic and divine.

I tried a tester vial of the Classique edp and I have FALLEN IN LOVE! This scent is so feminine and classy. Lightly rosey and - not heavy or "old" smelling. It doesn't come on strong. I reapply it a few hours after the first application just so I can fall in love all over again! A sweet delicious perfume!

I didn't found it at all in my country they told me it is a limited edition, can you tell me about other one will be so similar to this on or your second choice plz.
is it like Hypnotic Poison Eau Sensuelle?
The Main Notes are very close .

I bought this for my wife and i think it smells fantastic!

A very very sensual and elegant scent.
I'm not a woman but i'm pretty sure that any woman who wears this really feels like a WOMAN.
It is so feminine, like pink silk.

After she showered i could still smell it on her.

Great quality, and great scent.

A soft whisper of deep roses with a thin air of something softspicy. Adult roses. not overwhelming sweet, I like! Not loud like the Classique EdT. This one is great for every-day-use. A keeper.

En mjuk viskning av djupa, vuxna rosor med en aningens mjuk-kryddig avrundning. Inte sötsliskig, vilket jag gillar. Inte lika kaxig och högljudd som Classique EdT. Denna är suverän som varje-dag-doft. En favorit.

I tried a perfume shop and enchanted by JPG Classique. I looked and rose colored glass on the pink laces Classique EDP. A glass of orange laces smooth the Classique EDT. Each of the two components of the others.

Classique EDP ingredients: Rum Essence, Rose Essence, Vanilla Orchid, Daffodil, Bourbon Vanilla, Sweet Amber, Sandalwood Absolute, Tonka Bean, Amber.

Classique EDT ingredients: Orange Flower, Bulgarian Rose, Italian Mandarin, Star Aniseed, Orchid, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, Indian Ginger, Soft Vanilla, Woody Amber. Now which one to love? : D

Lovliest and sexiest perfume I've tried in a long time!

Oh my goodness! How come I have never tried Classique before?
I tested it today and what a great surprise! Beautiful, warm, exotic, almost gourmand vanilla and orchid! Very feminine composition.
Longevity and sillage are both outstanding.
A perfect evening fragrance for vanilla-lovers.

I have always overlooked this fragrance because I thought the bottle was kind of weird but I am so glad I have discovered this gem today!

An instant favourite of mine. Wow.

In the back of my memory I had a craving for a scent but I couldn't remember which one it was. I knew I had tested it at one point, so I went through all my old testers and sniffed them (yes even the empty ones lol)..and Bingo! I came upon this wonderful gem and my craving was instantly satisfied! I checked the tester and it was the EDP so that's what I purchased.
JPG Classique EDP to my nose is a very deep, satisfying scent and one you can really get your teeth into. It does start off very strong and quite intoxicating but the drydown is SO worth waiting for. It's creamy, fresh, smooth and blended to perfection, a very inviting sort of perfume. I'm in vanillic heaven. For some reason it makes me thirsty, which I've noticed with a few other perfumes...hmmmm strange! It reminds me a lot of Rose Ispahan by Yves Rocher. This is a perfect scent for cold weather fall/winter. I wouldn't dream of wearing it in summer.

I find that one spray of the perfume is like a bomb of powdery musky vanilla that surrounds your whole body and at first that could be a little too intense. The dry down is what i like best because its a lot mellower sweet and lovely. I'm not sure if I like it enough to buy it, but it definitely is on my "maybe" list. A definite warm and comforting scent.

This EDP is a masterpiece.

Elegant - but not "mature"
Fresh - but warm.
Cozy - but classy.
Sexy - but not trashy.

Sweet pink roses, erotic spices and comforting vanilla.

Suits every age and occasion. Longlasting with nice sillage.

Oh, and the bottle is so beautiful! I`m in love.

Dominant orchid, I smell lilies too, the big open flower with pollen pistils. I would say it's pure soliflore, I don't get vanilla and rose at all.
It is kind of cold and sad scent. The most decadent perfume I have smelled for sure, it's almost morbid, flowers you put on a grave.
EDT is spicy, biting sharp and a little bit warmer.
Nothing for me, but they are both interesting, JPG is certainly a master of spices.

@ Chowchow41 and mylancome - you do realize you're using the review section to have a conversation? And do you realize you can send private messages to each other and reserve this area for actual reviews? :/

Oh man! I love this perfume so much, most of Mr. Jacque Cavalier's perfumes suit me well. Tried this from the mall today, it last about 5 hours on me. This sure be my next purchase. But the EDP is more expensive than Bvlgari perfume. Maybe becoz of the unnecessary tin box? Pls get rid of the tin box, cut extra cost, make it less expensive.

I have nothing against JPG and this fragrance... but I just find it smells cheap. I do not know if it is my skin chemistry but it smells like those bad 20 dollar fragrances from the drug store. Oh well. I tried.

Hi.

From the voluptuous and curvaceous bottle comes an equally sensual and seductive composition which the result is an entrancing scent which melts into your skin and will enchant everyone smelling you. CLASSIQUE EDP is another great perfume by one interminable designer(JPG)and one interminable maker(CAVALLIER). Sweet,Warm,Sophisticated,Classy, Carnal,Enticing,Addictive,Bewitching,Rich and Thoroughly Feminine.

It is more hot,floral and provocative than EDT and has a perfect blened of traditional femininity with a modern elegance that includes rose,orchid,vanilla, amber and sandalwood.the base notes are so warm and sensual with creamy woods and vanilla that leaves an impression and any ladies wearing it will get attention most men.This head-turning perfume is suitable for both Intimate and Special wear.

CLASSIQUE EDP is a love/hate affair for most. An amazing scent that exudes sensuality and femininity. The best seasons for this one is Autumn and Winter.Ladies if you want your man to stay near you anywhere you guys go,this scent will do it and definitely a must have if you want to attract attention.test it first.

Sillage?Impressive.

Longevity?Lasts and lasts.

8/10

I like this one more than the original, but it is just too sweet for me.

Wooow pero que perfume! *-*
Esto es obra de Dios señoras y señores!
Huele tan pero taan divino! Me recuerda a esos dulcesitos de colores en forma de corazon:) Me lo compro mi mami por mi cumpleaños pero aun no me lo da y yo le ruego por que sea mio de una vez por todas c:
Este perfume es romantico y sensual, es como una maquina para atrapar miradas de chicos xD

This is a really pretty, feminine fragrance. The full list of notes are: rum essence, rose essence, vanilla orchid, daffodil, bourbon vanilla, sweet amber, sandalwood, and tonka bean. Really rich and sensual, but fresh at the same time.

Classique EDP has a really romantic, old-fashioned quality about it, but I think that's what I adore about it. It comes off as classy and feminine rather than stuffy. There is something about it that does recall a fresh-soap type smell. I normally hate anything soapy or powdery in fragrances, but in Classique it just works for me.

In the beginning I pick up on the sweet amber mostly, and at that stage it has a similarity to Prada. From there it becomes progressively more bitter and fresh, and I pick up on a grapefruit scent along with some sandalwood and florals. Both the fragrance and the bottle have a beautiful, classy, and romantic feel. Overall very clean, elegant and sophisticated!

A masterpiece!!! It's more mature and less oriental than EDP, maybe. But smells very good also. Great choice for winter!!!

Oh i miss this so much , i had this so many years ago amd still have the bottle . but the juice has gone bad i think .
this was so warm , clean, and sexy to wear . Much better then the other classic,(peachy coloured)
This has a cleaner note line .amd are much more wearable .
i love this one

yes, yes. This perfume is a real perfume so alluring, so attractive and sexappeling.

Sexy, Pretensive, Sophisticated, Experienced, Provocative.... This is everything what you will find if you'll try this fragrance.Very rare composition of femininity and sexuality. At the same time it can be effective for the lady and for a girl.I absolutely loved it. As a non-fateful person in fragrances, I confess: This Gaultier was in my Perfume wardrobe twice (such honor only had YSL, DKNY and Gaultier)... SO, TRY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

like beyonce says... we run this world, girls(with this perfume on). Sexy and sophisticated, a perfume which makes boys look behind for you...

I was given this as a present and didn't like it at first. Then I smelled it on someone else and thought it was wonderful. So I've gone back to it and I'm lovin' it now. Really warm, soft scent.

I think of Classique as being one of the scents that is so good that some people just want to dislike it. The EDT version is definitely bottle worthy, but this one is a must...

This is a gorgeous feminine perfume. On my skin, Classique is a sexy oriental floral, with a lot of warm, dry spiciness. I love, love, love the blend of the orchid, daffodil and sandalwood notes. It definitely reminds one of a the scent of bourbon, wafting up from a snifter; for me, if feels like a 'cuddle by the fire and have a drink with your lover' scents.

The vanilla note didn't show up for me until about three hours of wear, but when it did, it rounded and softened the spiciness--as does the amber note. Classique is a bit powdery in the full drydown, in the best possible way. I'd love a full bottle of this Eau de Parfum.

another one sexy parfum, I have it and I love it! JPG makes masterpieces.

Classique reminds me Donna Summer's song ''I feel love'' :-)
Classique is such a wonderful juice capable of embracing simplicity and so breathtaking at the same time!
Smells exquisite, luxurious, feminine and so...classique :-)
I purchased it in blind and I can honestly state it was one of the best blind buys of mine ever!
Rose petals with creamy orchid on a soft vanilla base, that composition truly rocks my heart!
I wore it today and in the afternoon, I went to a mall to buy some accessories for my kitchen. I caught myself sniffing my collar and wrists as I was walking down all aisles! People passing by were giving me that strange look but that's what happens if you keep sniffing yourself as if you were in ecstasy, forgetting about the whole world around you. I must have looked like one of these cartoon characters having spirals instead of eyes :-)
I was thrilled with the lasting power and sillage.
Definitely worth trying, a must have for rose, orchid and vanilla lovers!
Great for office, date, family party, shopping day.
All depends on how generously you apply it.
I definitely feel love... :-)

Men just can´t resist this one! Tons of compliments every time!
But that goes only for EDP or pure parfum.
Can anyone say has it been reformulated? Previously EDP was in a silver tin and matte bottle, but the new edition of EDP is in pink tin and flowers on the bottle. And it smells quite different from what it used to smell. Anyone also noticed that?

(Edp Review)

Jean Paul Gaultier is soo out of this world as his fragrances.. You can love him or hate him but everyone know he will give us sublime scents, far different from what we usually smell..

Intense, Femenine, provocative for girls with sooo much personality and self confidence..

I remember seeing an advertisement image of this perfume, with a beautiful siren calling a sexy sailor.. and i really believe this is the enchanting power of classique..

I got this as a Gift from my hubby today and I'm sooo happy I have this perfume in my collection now. It's sooo elegant, wonderful perfume and actually a true classique..love it...!!!

This perfume has been intriguing me since 1993, and in 1993 I was 11 years old. It's amazing how perfumes can stay on the market, and be from another decade. This bottle is classic 90's because it's so minimal and not adorned with anything. It's bottle and scent are contrasting. One would think the bottle looks cheap with no cap, but it reminds me of a dress dummy. That's quite vintage and ties fashion into the fragrance. On different people it's either powdery or ambery floral. It's never obnoxious, but it's playful sexy.

I love it. Thats all i can say.

It was funny, one day i was with this friend, searching for some scents to get....and well...while searching i smelled this one, and at first i was like "bleh too strong or weird smell"...... and i remained with that thought during that while....i got some other stuff and i was apparently happy with my purchase...but once that we were heading home....my friend was drivin in the car and well, we had our bags full of scents and we were talkin about it....but it was something so funny that all the fuc"$#?T road for ovbious reasons to me now, I NEVER COULD STOP SMELLING MY HAND, and well, my friend was like stop smelling your hand seems like youre getting drugged!.....and effectively i was.....the smell ohhhh that vanilla smelll remained to strong and lasted several but several hours....thats when i realized this was my new favorite....and said and told i went back a few days later to purchase it....in the beggining is something strong it made me dizzy way dizzy, but as the scent starts to change....it all changes its something so magical....i feel like the ladies in that gaultier add, holding it like something sacred something magical....nononononono......its something unexplainable, at least to me.......Of course that now all other scents i have lets say, are a bit abandoned....because ive fallen in love of this one, cant stop wearing it or smelling it, anytime i spray it i feel so excited... i widely recommend this scent if you like sweet vanilla nonono...the way it changes the way it remains..hell!!

Wish my pheromones smelled like that naturally, aw..

Tested it today.. very elegant perfume and I'm sooo glad i tried this... definitely going to buy this one...:)

I treated myself with this one! Couldn't resist and do not regret paying that much money. It lasts all day and I smell so divine! :-)

After was read so many good reviews, I was test this one ...Wow.. smell good from rose vanila this one of my favourite scents.I love this one more EDT another version. I have plan for buy this one.

This was my signature fragrance for many years as I'd never smelled anything else as lovely. I've only just got "into" perfume in a big way, so you can imagine how crushed I was to read Turin and Sanchez's scathing 1-star review in "The perfumes A-Z". I am so glad so many of you Fragranticans agree that this is a beautiful scent.

I think it doesn't matter how many other perfumes I discover I will always come back to this one.

Rich, vanillary, full of amber, a slight sharpness of something alcoholic cutting through the sweetness, and almost a hint of chocolate underneath. I LOVE the rich, warm femininity of "Classique" EDP.

As others have said though, the EDT is completely different.

After reading so many good reviews I have decided to try. OMG, there's nothing so sexy and delicious like this one. It is different from de EDT definitely. But just as gorgeous! I am getting a bottle of this as soon as I feel like spending all this money LOL

I love this one , it's much better then the EDT, its smells a lot better

To clear up any confusion that this review may bring about, I have tried the EDP concentration of Classique, in a woman's torso shaped bottle with intricate, lace-like detailing. From what I've heard, the EDT and EDP are two entirely different scents.

This fragrance is a warm floral. It speaks to me as the essential feminine scent, one that is indeed very classic in its appeal. It does have a rather oriental feel, possibly due to the anise, ginger, plum, vanilla and amber.

Classique is often difficult to describe. It's recognizable in the sense that it's a popular scent, however when worn on the skin it stirs up so many different opinions. I enjoy Classique, I also find it worthy of its acclaim.

This fragrance is heavy, but show me one fragrance that has lasted decades which isn't. It's a mixture of rich floral accords, subtle spices and an interesting creamy sweetness. While I do love this composition, I must admit that the sweetness doesn't work too well with my chemistry.

A wardrobe classic but also perhaps a little overworn, Classique is in my opinion, a love it or a hate it. The same could be said of its male counterpart, Le Male. It's thankfully everything I hoped it would be; sexy, rich, floral and feminine. The perfect fragrance to represent a true woman.

At first I found the bottle too provocative, so I went away from this one. Fortunately then gave it a chance. I was surprised because of its nice, powdery, warm scent. The rose in this one is amazing, not sour at all. On me the scent doesn't change with the time, has a good sillage and is very long-lasting (8 hours). Now I can tell, the bottle is felicitous, too. This perfume is innocent and coquettish at the same time, like a silk slip...

this is soo nice i prefer it over the edt, i have to test the strength but im sure it will be just fine ;-)

I'm writing another "review" because I just have to mention something about this perfume that I found couple of days ago.

While surfing the net I saw a review of Classique on some online-shop site. The title of it made me laugh for 5 minutes

"SCENTED VIAGRA"

Hilarious

SEX IN A BOTTLE. Controversial, feminine, dirty, spicy, floral and vanilla sweet. Not old fashioned at all. Different, modern and at the same time, classic and powdery. Garden of roses + independent woman reading disturbing book like "The Brothers Karamazov" where intrigue combines with death, sickness, love, madness, curiosity, betrayal and neverending mystery...

and in background should be played some passionate song like Padam Padam by E. Piaf about which she herself said something that I could say about this amazing perfume:

"This melody you will hear follows me everywhere I go. I hear it when I am sad and especially when I am glad. It seems to mock me for my past sins. It taunts me and it is driving me crazy"

Il parle toujours avant moi...

I've worn this one about a half dozen times now. The first wearing, I wasn't crazy about, and was glad I'd only spritzed it on one wrist. The second wearing, I liked it a little more, it was bequiling in a soft sexy kittinish way.

Today, I'm enamored with this soft skin scent. I put it in the crook of my elbow, and apparently that's one of my strongest pulse points. I've had soft whiffs of the scent when I move my arms.

Sometimes I can smell a slight orange note, other times a hint of floral. And always they are paired with the soft caress of vanilla and amber. It almost has a musky scent.

Today, I'm feeling like a sex kitten, ready to purr, enveloped in a soft, warm, inticing fragrance that caresses my senses. It's definitely a scent that will draw someone into you to be able to take in the inviting fragrance. I'm very glad I didn't give up on this one!!!

AMAZING perfume but i recommend buying it straight from France! It will have a different scent :)

The first impression I got when testing this was that of alcohol. Then it turned into a naphtalene-like, medicinal scent (strikingly close to Shalimar, although this has class, a retro kind of refinement to it). After a while it struck me how it transformed into this sensual, skin-sweet (so close to the skin that you would think it had emanated from it - although not in an arousing, animalistic way), soft vanilla scent. I'm completely in love with it! :X

Oh how i love it! its a very classic,and classy scent - very well made!
Its soft and gentle,sweet but not much,its a peachy powdery rosebud!
The rose,and the orangeblossom is what stands out on me - and that together gives this peachy tone on my skin.
Its a bit more perfumey,a little stronger then the edt,but in most ways the same i think.
ill go for this,not the edt!

It's adorable!!!

This scent is very similar to the original Classique, just a little drier or deeper? I can't tell the difference as I really don't have a professional nose. But this EDP is still very gorgeous. I'll definitely buy this one if I run out of my Classique.

Very sensual sweet vanilla ambery pheromone for a lady very sophisticate and glamorous not a daily fragrance better for a night and a cold weather especially in a very special occasion like going on a dating night in a fine dining restaurant with someone special, very deep,darling and long lasting.

EDP is deep and sensual. I feel like a 'tease' when I wear this. I subtly announce myself to the room with the unique aroma and leave them wanting more with an ever sooo slight trail. Warm, spicy and slightly medicinal.
- Very beguiling.

This one is well done that i think it could be a nice fairy wedding perfume! I love the romantic flowers they put in the edp.rose.orchid!love the oriental vanilla!there is also tonka,rhum essence in it! That's what you smell,all together:rose,orchid,tonka,rhum essence! Sexy!

I love perfumes too much to have one, "signature scent" but if I was stuck on a desert island and was going to be stuck with just one scent, this would probably be it. It's the most well rounded scent that I have. I wear it to school, to work, on dates and basically for all kinds of occasions, large and small. Its a wonderful, classy all-around perfume.

I received this as a Christmas gift and didn't like it at all, even though it did have sentimental value. I found it too heavy and aggressive. Didn't go with my personality. Eventually I had to give it away.

Absolutely divine. Nostalgic, feminine, gourmand... definitely an A in my book. I would love to hear someone's take on the EDT vs. the EDP.

I like the EDT version more than this. I tried the EDT on one wrist and the EDT on the second and the EDT lasted much longer

I am so glad fragrantica added the edp too.This one is one of my favourite scents.Just like the name,it is a true classic.A perfect scent for women,and much better then edt.I find the edt to sharp and a bit sour..
