I purchased this one about 10 years ago. It was a blind buy and I got it mainly because I loved the bottle. I never liked the fragrance and it just sat on my vanity. I'll have to give it another try.

JPG focuses on one note and failed miserably with this one! I was expecting soft sleepy notes, and immediately was stunned by this thunder clap of tuberose and nothing more. It lists all of thes other notes, yet they are lost with this overpowering opening, heart and closing note. Cloying, bloated and could trigger migraines, which is such a waste of a great bottle.

Incredible! I love this scent. I received it once for a gift. Used it up then had trouble finding it again. Very classic,strong and eternal scent.

For me Fragile is not fragile, but rather a mix of fragility and strenghth. It dangerously walks in balance between the two.
It is absolutely and mainly tuberouse, a real tuberouse fragrance. At a certain point I can't smell anything else in spite of the presence of so many notes, maybe complementary. It smells a little fresh at the beginning then it becomes a total floral bomb, very classic scent for a fancy woman dressed in furs and heels like in old days. Still it manages to keep some edges of innocence till the end. The "fragile" part? It's captivating like a woman who pretend to be so defenseless and play the part to attract men and when they discover her true naughty and heartless nature.
I somehow like it, I don't wear it. The bottle is original and ironic.
captivating

This is one of my most favorite scents! I've had for ever and ever....too bad its hard to find it unless you order it online. I dont know WHY they discontinued it! I am in love with this scent...its timeless

Fragile is really like Gaultier fragrance, it's obvious if you try Classique as well- there's a signature.
I don't think it worked on me- on my skin I got very much something that smelled like honey and fades away from skin in few hours- leaving aroma of cedar and amber and cinnamon. On my sleeve it stayed longer and smelled better too- there wasn't that much of anise/ ginger- I think those smelled intense right after the very first spray. I also feel there tuberose- quite strong. All blend reminded me Fairy Dust at top note phase- very interesting, multifaceted fragrance.
If only it had better staying power- Classique stayed a long time on me.
It really is very elegant and posh as some described. It's more aimed at women in their thirties or everyone who likes elegant, expensive perfumes with a touch of classic.
The bottle is funny- like those snow globes (funny name to them) you have motif in (usually wintertime)- I have gotten those on Christmas or New Year. I would grab it and shake furiously and then watch the 'snow' and glitters swirl around and settling down quite fast. This Fragile bottle is literally almost the same- I haven't think a long to figure out how to spray it- just push that thing down- but I wonder where does the glitter may stuck in a sprayer. I would be happy to own a mini bottle of this just because the bottle.

The scent is very creamy in the beginning, sweet and sour at the same time. There's no freshness in it, I would call this scent stuffy.

It doesn't go along with the name, it's more "solid" then fragile, in my opinion.

I agree - it is a little like Sunflowers...but much less sweet & orangey, & more floral (definitely tuberose) & a sour-champagney quality. I can see how it could pack that headache punch, but luckily not for me. I am not over-the-moon with it - but the packaging is fab....that's the only fragile thing about it! ;p

tessture

Love the packaging, but the strong white tuberose scent is not that new or earthshattering. Very pretty, though and would wear elegantly. Probably a bit strong for office wear, but this would work really well with furs and a little black dress. If you don't like white flowers, steer clear.

Elitsa

The bottle is absolutely gorgeous - may be the most unique and creative between all.
The perfume is strong, sharp, classical, feminine....but it is so harsh on the skin, i had a awful headache after using it, it's like a floral bomb and very long lasting. It' s not my scent but because of the bottle it worth it!!

A gorgeous fragrance. When I first smelled it I was reminded of Elizabeth Arden's Sunflower, and when I checked it out I found that they share many of the same notes.

The rose, jasmine, and bergamot are most prominent with my chemistry.

guiwings

Like you all have said: the botle is gorgeous!

I liked the perfume when I tested it. After some time it became strong. I would like to smell it once in a while.

SedNonSatiata

The EDP is very strong. A blast of white flowers (tuberose, jasmine, orange blossom) , each assertive in its own right, and overpowering as a trio. The EDP is also richer and fruitier than the EDT on the drydown. Neither one is my type of fragrance, but I can understand the appeal if you like very floral, very feminine scents. A funny thing: they both have a sparkly, shimmery odor that makes me feel like I'm smelling the snowy glitter in the bottle! It is odd: I think there is something sort of brilliant and wonderful about Fragile, but I can't say I like it. On the other hand, I do simply love the snow dome and snow globe bottles!

mariesthlm

just shaking the flacon a bit and see the goldflakes swirl made me happy.
this made me feel like a lady someone from a 40`s movie. there I am with a gorgeous black evening dress on, pale skin, red lips and a martini in my hand waiting for Daniel Craig to walk into the room and gasp at my beauty.

AmilkA

that's a very feminine and elegant scent. classical. just like the statue inside the bottle :)

dioradddict

my sister has the edp version and i bought the edt for me...but the only thing i can smell in it is the tuberose note, and so i always keep on waiting for something that reminds me of the spicy and creamier notes i can feel in the edp version but it doesn´t come...so i gave the edt to my sis...and then i saw here that they are really very different composed... edt version is very similar to edp, but is not the same parfum at all...i prefer edp on my skin... i read some review here that it could reminds of amarige....maybe, the same style, but i woudn´t wear amarige today because it would be a trip to my past memories ...

I've worn it at the first year of college, it was good at first but 1-2 months ago turned it to a terribly boring scent for me:(

How do you spray this out? This is the most unique beautiful bottle I have seen other than the one that looks like the taj mahal trimmed in rose gold I don't know the name of that one but it is beautiful. I wouldn't even care how this one smells I want the snow globe.

"Intoxicating smell of tuberose in the top notes" is a good description about this perfume. Followed by rare spicy citrus-gin and sweet -intoxicating too- heavy notes, in a sort of fragrance to mature women... or a woman that really wants say: ¡¡¡Im here!!! by her fragrance.

Regularly I'm like tuberose notes... but it is not a good example. This it's not bad at all... but neither it's good.

it's like a rare gin tonic perfume jajaja

I don't know why but my nose smells dry martini and mint when wearing this fragrance. It is fresh, but at the same time very feminine, chic, luxurous and with a very good staying power. Interesting fragrance!

Althea

glamorous, luxurious, just feeling unbelievably sexy wearing it, matched with expensive heels and a bag...drives men crazy :)

pearl

It is a strong and somehow a "vintage" scent, something you feel you have smelled before, but you cannot specify when and where... On me smells like pure gardenia, although I cannot see gardenia among its notes.

Basia

I hate it. It is way too strong. I got it from a friend who disliked it but had to get rid of it myself as is is virtually unweareable.

Aeternitas

This EDP and the EDT are total opposites. Of course, the EDP is way stronger, but in it I smell nothing but honey, and I don't think honey is even a note in it. It's thick and rich, it's spicy with some strong, dark florals , "posh" is a good way to explain it, like Leukothea said. Reminds me of fur coats and heavy jewelry, not very fragile to me. It's a smooth, daring fragrance, I would prefer wearing it in the winter. However, I don't like this one very much myself.

i tested it today and i found it quite elegant and sophisticated, although kind of sharp at the begining. the spices are dominant at the begining and i could not distinguish the florals. after the sharp but fragile opening, it becomes milder and softer, but still elegantly thin. nice! and i love teh bottle. it is really gorgeous.
