Gaultier 2 (for women and men)

Amanda79

My bestfriend sent me this in the mail! Now that I've had the chance to wear it and try it on skin my review has changed.. (previous review was from smelling it on paper). I think a perfume should always be worn to form an honest opinion and this one smells better on skin.

I still smell apple potpourri at first spray like I said in my original review but it changes after its been on a few minutes.

I couldn't put my finger on it and then I realized this reminds me of Bvlgari Black!! It has that rubber smell on me. But this isn't a deep licorice/amber/vanilla sweet rubber like in Black but more of a musky/apple/rubber. Its definitely from amber notes in both fragrances. Although I'm a fan of amber I never realized till these two that amber in large dosages creates that effect.

Although Gaultier2 is linear from beginning to end after wearing this for an hour or so the vanilla comes out a little more and it smells like a burnt cookie with cinnamon and honey.

This is just an odd perfume for me but I kinda like it! This will work perfect to layer with perfumes that are missing depth and warmth.

I tested it, its not very hard to define. Amber-musk-vanilla. High quality ingredients, that last, yet very little creativity. There should have been a couple floral notes. It makes me think there was a limited choice here. It is more manly, however. Not bad, just too simple for me.

Very sexy, for me a summer evening fragrance. Really great dry down and proper staying power. Love it.

Very long lasting and overpowering.
Besides that unique as unisex fragrance (comparition with well-known Calvin Klein and Cartier unisex fragrances).
It fits to men and what's more important this stuff stands out from ordinary parfumes.

I have two bottles of this one(they come toghether) and I liked it very much at the begging but after a while I found it too overpowering and headachie. I am finding it difficult to wear it in public it is more like personal and sexy smell for a date. It gets quite boring for me because it does not change when you wear it. My verdict is: I would not buy it again although I still like a sniff of it when I am in a mood for it but defenatelly not an everyday perfume for me.

Sweet, nice, but not innovative. Great if you want to smell the same as your beloved one. If worn very sparingly( a squirt in the air and then you pass), it is very sensual, if not you will really smell like a vanilla sugar your grandma uses for cookies.

The reviews on Gaultier 2 made me curious so I went to the mall today to smell it. Amber, vanilla and sex hmmmm not sure I smell that! I get an odd mixture of dried fruits, cinnamon and honey. Not overly feminine or masculine. Its not bad but smells like apple cinnamon potpourri.

A very sensual and sexual fragrance there is something animalistic about this...does anybody know if they threw some pheromones in it??? LOVE IT!!!!

The type of fragrance that gets into your skin and you smell "sensual", not "perfumed". Almost finished the bottle while in Copenhagen in winter, but now that warm days are close it is too heavy-bitter.

This scent needs a character to wear it, guts if you imagine, like most animalistic scents (at least for me). But it is the only one I can boast of long-term relations with, despite our regular separation from mid-spring to late autumn (it doesn’t work for me in warmer seasons).

Someone could say it is all about sex and animal attraction, someone could reckon it among bohemian style with an eccentric touch or even decadence but for me it is all about creativity, it makes me feel bold and creative.

Paradoxically, the scent contains the notes I am usually not on good terms with – amber and musk but none irritates me here for some reason, their duet sounds even cozy and the people who declared to be allergic before have perceived it with approval. I also like mature vanilla (same mature as in Un bois Vanille which I also like) but the amount of sweetness is just relevant to be considered unisex. In general, it is the best proof of the fact that Jean Paul Gaultier has found his original style in perfumes.

I must say it doesn’t surprise you with some special evolving, you get what it seems at the beginning, the scent just a little calms down. The lasting power is ok, but if you want it to sound bright and distinctive, reapply every 3-4 hours.

By the way, it sounds slightly different each time, my mum constantly asks me what I am wearing even if I am wearing this one for three days running, that’s why I can believe those couples who say that it sounds absolutely different on a husband and a wife so the other relatives wouldn’t even notice that they wear the same fragrance.

And one more thing, every late Autumn after long separation I shudder at the first sniff of Gaultier-2, wondering how I dared to wear such a sassy scent even at the office last season but then it goes like “click” and we are best friends again, could go everywhere together in a creative mood.

I have in sample and I think it's a very good sensual smell. It's the better fragrance of Jean Paul Gaultier.

MinogueParfums

I wanted to buy this, but it was a little too strong. And i was told not to buy this by friends. So, my friends would have hate smelling me if i did buy this.

guest_lincegsxr

demasiado demasiado demasiado demasiado demasiado DULCE DULCE DULCE .......

Nada mas echartela es dulce como algodon de azucar. Quizas me recuerde a los perfumes de las ancianas inglesas que huelen a PERFUME PERFUME....

Pasadas una horas quedan rastros de esa "dulzor" de caramelo.... claramente no es nada masculina.... quizas sea mas femenina.... pero femenina clasica.

No se la regalaria a mi novia. Quizas a mi madre de 60 años que le gustan los olores fuertes.

Para hombre nada de nada......

i like gaultier2 only two or three hours after i spray it on my skin!

da_markos

too sweet, too overpowering... not my type of scent

I bought it today on my way to work, unsniffed, and had just sprayed a bit on my hand (just to test, as I´m already using a perfume).
The very first impression is odd: it is sweet and sort of bitter at the same time. Makes me think of male and female together, as one: warm and sweet vanilla (female aspect) and strong and potent amber (male aspect).
After two hours the smell is basically the same, without dramaticaly changes: my impression is that the amber is getting soft (or is it my nose getting used to it?)
As a first impression, I have to say that it´s good. Will not become a favorite, but is pleasant.

LuckyStar1

I find this too sickly and it smells quite feminine on me. I have a large bottle which I sometimes use as air freshener in the bathroom.

BethAshley

I wanted to try this one because of all the positive reviews but I was sadly disappointed by it. I was hoping for something edgy since it is unisiex, instead I have found something way too heavy and sweet. It's giving me a headache. It reminds me a little of classique but no where nearly as nice. For me its a total "scrubber".

Viet

I smelled this at the fragrance store and fell love at the first smell.

Definitely the right scent - warm enough but not too thick, cosy fragrance which says "come near to me."

dutch mickie

definately one of my favourites. very warm, just sweet enough, a bit woody, the right spices are being used, sensual, I just love me when i wear this scent!!

vtothek

Very, very sweet. Smells like the inside of a cold stone creamery. All I can smell is the vanilla. While not bad, it's very gourmand even for my tastes, and does indeed smell more on the masculine side to me. Worth a try, you might like it, but even if you're a gourmand oriental lover like me there's no guarantees you'll adore it. Bought it unsniffed and though I like it, it's definitely not a favorite.

Cassiano

What I like the most in this scent is its long lasting. Besides that, its scent it's totally different from the common ones. It beggins with a female "classique" note, but changes in a wonderful and surprisingly way, exhaling a sexy and amazing fragrance.
As a fan from those warm/oriental/amber/spicy fragrances, I couldn't live without buying a bottle for me.

NuriaRose

i found it very very similar to " private collection Amber ylang-yalng "
or should i say the oppsite

desmondorama

I have to say that this is a wonderfully comforting 'skin perfume' that's more of a personal sweet scent than something you would wear to be outstanding in a crowd.

Definitely a very good, popular seller and a great fragrance investment.

Very personal!

SandraS

I love the botle, the concept behind it.
As for the fragance it starts very promising and I kept waiting for it to dry and setle which never happened. What you get from first spary is what you have. I agree with boggi when she said it comes as very sintetic. After an hour I was sick of it, washed it off and still was on my skin. Its long lasting to say the least.

Boggi

I got a mini version of this yesterday. I was sure I would like it because of the reviews and the composition, but I got disapointed. I may miss some receptors in my nose or have different skin composition, but it smells very flat to me. Its a hot, intense note that I think are quite syntetic.
I think its very similar to Classique, which I have never been my favorite.
I will try it a couple more times and write more if I change my mind about it.

Silvery

Its amber and vanilla are irresistible!!!! I must have this perfume! Totally sensual and sexy without being harsh. It has a little similarity with Alien by Thierry Mugler, but this one is not so sweet. Ahhh, I can't think of anything but having and using this!!

Erika_K

Very sexy scent, both on my skin and both on a man. I love it!

Dragonfly

I've been searching for a signature fragrance for a long time.After a lot of testing and sniffing to the point of headacke i stubbled on this beauty.It was almost fate since the word unisex for me was a thumds down choice.In other words it is a perfume that i would never test it on my own.The only chance that me and Gaultier2 could have to meet each other,was only if somebody introduced us.And this is what happened indeed.My boyfriend tired of my constant testings made me to promise him that i would stop my obsesssing about finding the right perfume by wearing without arguing something of his choice. "The choice" was Gaultier2 and it was instant love.this is one of the most sexier and intimate fragrances one could ever find.Once you wear it lingers all around you leaving a trace in everything you are passing by an touch ..clothes,pillows,hearts.Vanilla(not a "pink" one,musk,amber in a very intruiging combination..Sexy and cosy,dark and luminous all at the same time.Its is a constant contradiction but so is the designer behind it a: The unique Jean Paul Gaultier.

Ester

My nr. 1. Sometimes it's wild and sexy, sometimes warm and cosy.

rebella

This is one of my favourite vanillafragrances. It is warm, intense and sexy. It works excellent on both man and woman. Longlasting, powerful and no doubt that this is a grown up-vanilla. It stays almost the same from beginning to the end and I haven´t notice that it is much sweeter on me than on my husband. Absolutly worth the money.

BlackAmberMoon

Sensual in the extreme. Men swoon over this fragrance. The musk prevents the vanilla and amber from becoming to sweet. I also detect a beautiful ylang-ylang in the midnotes. Dries down to a sexy skin scent. Gorgeous!

sanziana29

Very interesting perfume, versatile and monotone in same time. One of my favorites, worth money.

I think it smells just like 'classique', just a little diffirent

guest_Layla

This is also good on women. My male friends like it and thinks it is such a sexy smell.

guest_Or

Just bought one, this scent is AMAZING! I can't stop smelling it, and I bet the ladies won't be able too.

Highly recommanded.

s789

I also love this scent and hope I am going to own it soon!! Mmmm..

aromatic

I think that it is better on men rather than on women. On women it is too sweet, but on men it is very sexy.

promoscanner

I never get as many compliment from women as when I am wearing this scent. Nice and soft, but not too feminine. Rather than masking your normal, clean scent, it enhances it, letting your pheromones do their thing. Excellent fragrance.
