CLASSIQUE X Collection

Description

Although you’d expect a sultrier, more erotic version of Classique, it’s actually more of a fresh, airy version, nearly a cologne, with a very citrusy opening. Orange blossom is paired with other flowers, including rose. With is orchid and ambry wood notes, the perfume possesses a ‘nude’ tonality. Classique’s vanilla note is barely perceptible her. In 2012, Jean Paul Gaultier released the Eau de Parfum version. More intense in its fragrance, it is built around notes of orchid, rose and vanilla.

Sexy freshness

History

Jean-Paul Gaultier’s ‘X’ couture collection evokes a sexy, libertine world where women wear eye-masks, fishnet stockings and wispily sheer clothing. The range, with its bordello-atmosphere, is also introducing a flanker for the fragrance Classique. Rated X, this is a softer but fresher composition than the original. While the bottle is almost unchanged, the signature tin-can package is now black.

Range

Eau de Toilette 3.4 and 1.7 oz. Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz.

Bottle

While the bottle is virtually unchanged, the signature “tin-can” package is now black. The woman’s torso has a tiny X around her neck and a pattern of transparent Xs on her chest.
