Classique X Jean Paul Gaultier for women

I love this, smells really pretty on me. My husband bought it for me for a gift, and though I wouldn't have chosen it for myself, when I wear it I feel happy all day, like I'm walking around in a bubble of summer. : )

Yes that's me:) I love Jean Paul GAULTIER... OUI GAULTIER...:)) Il est là, je le sens....
I become crazy when I feel Gaultier...:DD

I wanted to like this. I really did. I thought perhaps I could use it as a summerscent, since the original CLASSIQUE (EDT) is my favorite fragrance.
So I tested it today and my first idea was ... Fanta!
CLASSIQUE X opens with a sugary mandarin smell. It's not unpleasant, certainly not, but well, I don't really want to smell like Fanta.
It's very sweet, but also quite light. And very fake. Nearly all op JPG's fragrances have that fake thing. But in most of them it works. It does not in CLASSIQUE X however.
I sprayed it about 3 or 4 hours ago and all I can smell now is some musk and a slight hint of mandarin.
It actualy has no distinct drydown on my skin. It just stays the same. There's no hint of the wonderful vanilla that makes the original CLASSIQUE so very good.
So no, not for me. At all. I just don't like sugared fruit in a fragrance.

I just agree with purrz11. It's too ordinary. I'm disappointed and I prefer other JPG fragrances.

This smells really cheap and synthetic to me. I can't really make out any notes, just heavy, plastic stench.

I had the sample of original classique and I love it.But I can't find it anywhere in my regions and so I bought this one.They smell absolutely different and I prefer the original one.This is soapy,floral,light,not spicy and causal for me.But I love it and bought it.

Classique X: A classic case of "deception by packaging". Sporting that "X" letter on the can that serves for package and replacing the corset that distinguishes the Classique line, one would expect a "sex in a bottle", outstanding frangrance. However, the truth is different:

A powdery orange blossom based perfume that lasts quite well, Classique X does not enter into the "domina, black leather" sexy kind, but rather into the "nude-color lace lingerie" sexy, which is fine because it creates a lovely " your skin but better" effect; thus, it can be worn for formal environments, for evening or the bedroom.

Perhaps this was the purpose of Classique X: to be a skin of sorts to wear for both the "ready or not here I come" and the "tenderly desirable" groups .

I got a sample of Classique X and sprayed it on 3 hours ago. Well, it's not bad, but it's nothing special either, it hardly develops on my skin, but stays a powdery citrusy scent all the while.
Most prominent are citrucy notes, accompanied by a powdery iris, some vanilla and soft woods which take the citrus edges and tame them down.

Sillage is ok, I used a tiny spritz but it's very noticeable and it still present after doing dishes ;-)

If you're looking for a soft powderey citrus scent give it a try, it's well composed and nice, lasts pretty good and you don't need much of it to smell nice.

Orange blossoms smell great in this limited edition :)
Worth buying if you like :)

*Jacques Cavallier is the nose behind this lovely floral creation!

as soon as I find a nice,cheap deal for it,I'll get it. not worth the price here, but if I can find for cheaper, it is a nice fresh scent. if not, oh well..

This was a nice light scent, smelled quite clear and floral, more like magnolia to me. As it wears it picks up and the peony makes an appearance, with a nice iris that's not extremely powdery, just soft. The dry down is a slightly soapy vanilla. Nice, but nothing special.

HA! this one is great... it's light, calm, feminine and a bit sweet because of vanilla as the base note. great for summer, day and night.

It's not my favourite fragrance, but I really quite like it. I find it quaint. It's is a really clean & fresh floral fragrance, which is something I really like. And although there are some elements of this fragrance which remind me of others, this is not a generic fragrance. It's nothing crazy, but it's not one of those scents you feel like you've smelt in 50 other bottles, which happens with so many other floral perfumes.

My true love wears 'LE Male' so I was hoping to find a female version of that intoxicating scent. Classique is pretty, but doesn't have the intoxication of it's animus, Le Male. It has a soft, pretty scent that doesn't last too long from a distance, but up close it does linger for a while...

It has a moderness to it, and reminds me a lot of the smell of Jasmine tea (boyfriend noticed this first), and the vanilla and orange notes are my favs.

I prefer more of a fruity gourmand scent, but this one is a nice change. The bergamont note is a nice one and I find it's a note that is in a lot of scents that I like for both men and women.

This is a good scent for work, casual gatherings with friends of family, or a blind date (lol) where you don't want something too overpoweringly sexy, but still want to smell classy and sweet.

I love this perfume!! I am now obsessed with going and trying on all JPG's collections!! I am super happy I finally found some purfume that I really like!!

clas·sic/ˈklasik/
Adjective: Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind.

Of the three requirements for something to be a classic this misses on all of them. It's been on the market for a year; it isn't the highest quality; it's certainly not outstanding of its kind. The cheekiness of this sort of pretentious self-congratulation is not the only reason I dislike this stuff but it certainly adds to the dislike. This is an extremely citrusy, bitter woody scent that comes across as a cheaply done vetiver. The florals are anemic and fade almost immediately leaving a medicinal green goo. Add in that it's extremely overpriced and we've got the perfect definition of cashing in on its sibling's earned fame.

Sillage: Perfect for annoying others on the subway
Persistence: 5-7 hours
Fabulosity: Donald Trump
Price to value ratio: lousy
2/10

I love the original Classique for women with it's delicious oriental feel and the sexy floral accords, so when I saw this new Classique X flanker with the raunchy adverstising, I expected something sexier and richer.

I find Classique X a powdery, softer version of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. Disappointing actually, as I don't like all those citrusy, lemony accords. It's a mixture of sharp citrus and soapy florals on a rich, woodsy base. Not particularly sexy, but refreshing to say the least.

When it comes to the warmer weather I'd be more tempted to reach for Classique Summer 2010, (which was a lovely soapy and flowery scent), over and above Classique X. I think the intention of releasing this fragrance was to have it appeal to women who were not fans of the original Classique.

Although I don't entirely understand the craze over fruity and citrusy scents, they do tend to sell well and are usually big hits for perfume companies. Despite my dislike for this bitter, uneventful fragrance, I have no doubt that there are some women who are quite enamoured with it.

Although the lasting strength is quite good, I've come to the conclusion that I much prefer Jean Paul Gaultier's orientals and masculine offerings. Classique X has missed the mark with me and left me quite cold and unimpressed.

this is perfect for a sunny spring day, love the powdery flower notes with a hint of citrus and soft cedar. it just lights up my day, wish it would last longer than 2h on my skin...

I remember this emerging into the mainstream commercial outlets, albeit only the most prestigious, way back last year. What a first impression! I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to the presentation, but funny thing, I couldn't tell what was inside it!! (cue cringe of cuteness! How aaaah!) So six months later, I seized the chance to buy and lo and behold, surprise greeted me. Looks spectacular, but actually, is soft, gentle, serene, like a quiet winter morning on Primrose Hill, North London, or the church behind my parents' house. Echoes of pussy catkin, and sweet spice. Pleasing.

This smells sour to my nose. The original Classique, preferably in edp concentration, is way better.

It really seems to me similar to something I tried recently and I couldn't guess what it was. ~Then I got it. Love by Chloe. While this one is a bit less fresh than Love. Classique X is more floral. Nice. A little bit bergamot is present. Stays long and nice sillage.

At first try I think I like it. I liked the bottle too But when I gave a try on anotherday. I felt that it's too sharp with alcohol and smell bitter of what i don't know. But my daugther like it so I gave it to her it's not bad mmm..

I wore Classique along with every other young woman when it was released lo those many years ago. I knew from reviews that Classique X didn't have much in common with the original, but wearing it today really drove that point home. Putting this scent in another mannequin bottle and trying to butch it up with the black "X" is almost comical to me, because this is an utterly gentle scent (I got the Light Blue thing too Sky).
Classique of course was brazen, formidable and powerful. X is quiet, feminine and almost demure--which is fine. I really enjoyed wearing this scent and am considering getting a bottle if I can find one for cheap. I just think that putting this delicate juice in that tough girl bottle is a serious mismatch and sort of misleading. Regardless, the scent is fresh, citrusy, versatile and very wearable.

This one is my favourite among all the Classique versions. Its classic yes, but has a modern edge that is more appelative that the Classique edt/edp. Absolutly seductive in a innocent way. I love the composition, on my skin its pure orange flower gourgeously blended with bergamot, exactly how you want it to be, and dont need anything else. A warm clean scent, perfect to dress a naked skin. It lingers for ages on skin and clothes. I would say its a great bedtime scent, makes you feel beautifull and feminine. To use in winter time, on romantic dinners also. Its not outstanding, loud or a sex bomb. Its a gracefull, silky scent. All ages can wear it and I think its a nice smell for men too because its so clean. If you are looking for something simple, clean and white but not dull or boring, this is it.

X is nothing like the JPG scents I have tried or owned before &, in contrast to its familiar shape & mysterious abstract name, it is as gentle & a summer's breeze & as innocent & natural as a lamb.

X is a fairly light-weight, airy scent that hangs around for a decent length of time with a polite sillage.

It starts with a sharp opener of gentle citrus peels, alcohol & bergamot - a touch bitter & very refreshing, similar to a gin & tonic.

The heart is fluttering & light - a warm wind wafting thistledown over a brook where dappled sunlight falls. Very natural, prettily floral, the orange blossom taking the back seat whilst the iris sways & takes centre stage, framed by the slight warmth of light, bright vanilla.

Luckily, X never becomes too powdery, too sweet or over-floral, but remains gentle, feminine, softly-fresh & almost fizzy from the addition of cedar.

It is akin to Light Blue in nature, but X has a stillness, a calm, cool, natural, womanly edge that sets it apart. For someone who admires depth, power & strength in a fragrance & who tends to prefer oriental & woody scents this one took me by suprise.

For me, it is a "strong like" for this very gentle, reserved perfume. Perfect for warm, balmy, lazy days. Thank you Nathalie for the introduction!

I don't know how it happenned, but after twenty minutes the gorgeous, powdery orange blossom scent on my wrist turned sour and aquatic! It smells like a cross between Miss Dior Chérie L'eau and L'Eau de Cartier :/ Not bad, but not what it promised to be...

Gaultier 's fragrances are like his clothes...out of the ordinary, different, modern..they "get" women
I love Classique X, wonderful scent..feminine, modern, uplifting, and sooo well constructed! it gets softly powdery, just a bit...it has a certain amount of luminosity, a certain upbeat quality about it! I cant wait to wear the extrait!!

This fragrance is divine. Apparently Stella Peony is not going to be available soon, and because JPG X in black, still has the base not of Peony, it does the business for me.

It reminds me Gucci Envy me, but JPG is better.
Less floral than Gucci (but I smell peony), and a bit powdery (soft,baby powder not a strong one) and a little sweetness. Not a pinky-girlish fragrance. It is a stylish,fresh,young and sexy perfume, ideal for summer.
Definitely there is not citruses in it, and it doesn't has nothing common with DG Light Blue.
Usually I don't like JPG's perfumes but this is a masterpiece, I love it.
Lasting power is not excellent but it lasts some hours at least on me.
I'd like a bottle from it.

I really love this one. Its fresh in the beginning and ends powdery with some iris. This one is better for me then the original Classique

Here is how Classique X smells: fresh and polite in the way of Bvlgari Omnias are. Tranquill and gentle as L`occitane perfume lines. Polite and wearable as gorgeous sophisticated ladies Lancome produces. It is shy spring butterfly, sun tanning at the lake shore, and noon lunch at your mother in laws house.

Here is how Classique X should have smelled: like darkest spell in Magie Noir, the dirtiest car repair shop in Bvlgari Black, like rusty spice in old, biting, provocative Classique. It should have been the crow under full moon, storm whirling above the waters, and making love on mothers in law lunch table.

I hate to see rebel perfumistas mainstreaming.

This smells exactly like prada l'eau ambre on my skin! I don't know if anyone else gets this vibe!

Really nice and fresh, but nothing special about it... reminds me of D&G Light Blue...
Would be a great summer scent.

Tried this and did not care for it at all. Perhaps it was the Iris I don't know but it was kinda of old fashioned smelling to me.

It's really good!! I love this smell! Nice soft en clean

i was sooooo looking forward to this.. duh.. no character at all..

I haven't tested it on my skin but its very light and airy and powdery, its like they took out all the spicy soapy oriental parts of the original and left only the floral parts and this is to get new customers who didn't like the original. I will try it on my skin, but I like the original so I will try not to be bi-est.

It's a nice soft smell and I don't find this similar to the other JPG fragrances, because this one is so much more fresh and light.

I don't agree.
I don't find it similar to any of JPG fragrances, far away from the original.
I'm not the fan of the original edp, but I quite like the edt.

This one is very simple - a lot of citrus and orange flowers. Nothing really innovative. But lovely! Provided that you like these notes :)
Doesn't have a strong sillage or staying power.
Could be nice for spring and summer days - light one!

First of all I have to say I am not being friends with JPG fragrances and although I adore the designer, I always reach for the beautiful bottles with hope that I will like the scent but put them down with a wrinkled nose. Classique X is similar to other JPG creations (maybe a bit lighter) which appear stuffy and unpleasant to me as i can smell mainly alcohol and sharp flowery scent. It is similar to Prada's fragrance also featuring orange flower. If you like Classique, this could be your summer version.
