I’ve been holding off on reviewing Classique because I felt there weren’t enough words in the English language to describe my love for this perfume. First off, it smells incredibly vintage yet completely modern, I love how complex and sensual I feel when wearing this and the confidence it exudes is enough to make this a true aphrodisiac on me.Classique is the most feminine scent I have ever smelled that doesn’t veer into the immature or girly territory. I imagine Grace Kelly sitting at night in her boudoir wearing a pink chiffon night gown; her hair is perfectly coifed and makeup is perfection. This is what I imagine her bedroom to smell like—a cloud of soft flowers and makeup powder.My initial impressions are ginger, star anise, vanilla, orange blossom, and lots of cinnamon. The ginger and cinnamon notes came on strong at first but mellows out beautifully as traces of orchid and iris slowly creeps its way into being, there are roses too but not an extravagant one yet rather subtle and quite shy. Sandalwood frolics lazily under the shade of sweet plum and citrus. Amber notes at its heart wraps everything together like an intimate embrace.The opening is a spicy oriental but the dry down is creamy vanilla powder, like a cloud of pink lipstick. The sillage is enormous and very noticeable; its longevity lasts for days on the EDT—even when sprayed on clothes!Classique is undoubtedly my favorite powdery scent; for me this perfume practically defines the difference between a masterpiece product and a decently composed fragrance. There is nothing jarring or sharp or undecidedly vulgar about this scent, it’s extremely feminine and sensual without ever being lurid. I’ve often seen this recommended as a beginner’s fragrance but I feel it is extremely polished for all noses, certainly a creation worthy of its reputation.Longevity: 9/10 Sillage:9/10Top Notes[Orange Blossom] [Vanilla] [Star Anise] [Ylang-Ylang] [Amber] [Orchid]Middle Notes[Ginger] [Musk] [Rose] [Iris] [Mandarin Orange] [Cinnamon]Base Notes[Plum] [Pear] [Tuberose] [Sandalwood] [Bergamot] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Classique EDP ]Edit: I wanted to do a short addendum for the EDP version of Classique, as it is almost certainly different from the EDT and worth noting. The “lace” version is creamier and more vanilla focused, and is indeed concocted with a lighter hand than its predecessor. Opening notes consists of a boozy vanilla, orchids, and rum phases which then passes into a rosy amber-y dry down that is largely florals and sandalwood. This is a dreamier version of Classique; though it more resembles the modest cousin than a direct sibling, the EDP is still very lovely if not bit more mainstream. Personally I am not a huge fan of the lace version simply because it just isn’t the same beauty that I’ve fallen for, the lacking of spices and ginger has turned her into a common–but noble flower.Classique eventually fades into a cloud of tonka bean, sandalwood, and boozy vanilla. Nothing extravagant, just powdery and feminine.Despite constant trials with either one, the EDP is NOT stronger than the EDT in this case. I have had many outings with both relatives applied within the crevices of both arms, and have constantly monitored their progress throughout the day. It seems that the original not only outlasts its rival, but also dominates in terms of projection.Frankly I enjoy Classique in all its variations, but the primary is certainly my favorite. This EDP is just too basic for me and frankly I can find better vanilla primaries than what it provides; the market is saturated with fragrances composing of the same features that the lace version tries to push. However I would suggest trying both as they often appeal to different senses.Longevity: 8/10 Sillage: 8/10Top Notes[Vanilla] [Orchid]Middle Notes[Rum] [Rose]Base Notes[Amber] [Tonka Bean] [Narcissus] [Sandalwood]Vienna.Pink<<< For all my Fragrance Reviews!

This scent is not at all what I expected and I've worn this Jean Paul Gaultier for over 20 years. I loved it enough to have several bottles. Unfortunately this perfume is extremely pale when compared to my original as can be seen in the photo. Also the scent is weak, or diluted, and reeks of lillies. (Who wants to smell like a funeral?)I understand that both the formula and the manufacturer have changed over the years so rather than cry fake, I'll simply state that this is not my scent. My bottle was from Macy's in the 90's it reads BPI - 75116 PARIS and is stamped with a serial number. If you have the same vintage scent this purchase will disappoint you. Read more

My husband bought me this as I was running low on the one I bought some time ago from the store. He could not find it in Dillards and other stores so he decided to order it here. This is not the same perfume! If you have an original bottle from a department store, take a look a look at the V on the back of the lingerie bottle, it's not even the same. The color is much lighter, and I sprayed the one from Amazon on my left arm and I knew right away that it was not the same. The small was a little off and it didnt last as long either. I sprayed my original on my right arm and WHAT A DIFFERENCE! Buy at your own risk! It is not original. This is my favorite perfume and this one is not it! Read more

I bought this as a gift for my mom. I am familiar with this one and I checked it everywhere... This perfume is the original. The picture given doesn't give it justice, so I added some.It came well packed, really well cushed. Read more

I have been purchasing this product for years from department stores. Once opening i noticed the perfume was much lighter in color than all the others I have bought. I am convinced these are not authentic. The scent is so watered down it takes 20 sprays to equal 1 of the department store ones. Lesson learned Read more

I’ve been wearing the JPG Classique scent for many years, and what I received was not it. I’ve bought my perfume in stores and online before, and never had a problem until now. The bottle I received looks like the picture, but the smell is too sweet and not the well balanced Classique scent that I’ve been wearing all these years. It’s disappointing. Read more

I thought on leaving a review about this perfume and then I noticed I have 4 identical products to choose from in my orders. That is how much I love it. I have bought it many times over the years, and I have received it as a gift too. I own other perfumes but I always come back to this one. I also get a lot of compliments when I wear it. Love love love. Read more

I suggest maybe trying a sample of this on yourself before purchasing an entire bottle. When I first got this perfume, I adored it. I put it on and immediately thought I had found my signature scent. But after wearing it for a few days, I've come to find it just isn't for me. It's very strong and I am sensitive to certain smells. It also kind of has a heaviness to it that just isn't what I look for in a perfume. It is a very beautiful perfume in a very beautiful bottle and it does smell very beautiful as well. But it just isn't the one for me. Read more

I have been using Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Eau De Toilette Spray For Women for many years. Unfortunately, I found that this bottle had a very weak scent. I found that my previous bottle (the same Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Eau De Toilette , that I bought a few months ago), had a much stronger scent. Read more
