Jean Paul Gaulltier

When it comes to haute couture, no one does it better than the French. In fact, the term itself is French for "high sewing," and refers to special made-to-order fashions for the upper-class.

It should come to no surprise that Frenchman Jean-Paul Gaultier is one of the world's leading designers in haute couture. While his eccentrically playful yet formal designs were oftentimes critiqued in the world of fashion, his avant-gardism also earned him a great deal of popularity. This is exemplified by his use of unconventional models for his exhibitions, including those who were old, fat, and heavily pierced and tattooed.

In terms of designer perfumes, Jean Paul Gaultier continues his tradition of breaking all boundaries and going against the norm. For Jean Paul Gaultier, a fragrance bottle ceases to be a just a regular bottle; instead, the entire packaging is a work of art.

Both the Classique Jean Paul Gaultier perfume for women and Le Male Jean Paul Gaultier cologne for men feature his world-famous figure-shaped bottles wrapped inside a tin can. Gaultier's fragrances are undoubtedly influenced by the Ready-Made Art of Marcel Duchamp - who, one should note, is yet another artistically-gifted Frenchman.

The truly sensuous and sophisticated Classique is the quintessential women's fragrance for the seductive woman in all of us. Laced with floral notes of roses and orchids, one spray of the Classique Eau de Parfum from Jean-Paul Gaultier and you're bound to have him begging for more.

On the other end of the spectrum, Gaultier's Le Male incorporates the freshness of mint to evoke strength and power in a man's fragrance. Unexpected traces of vanilla help reveal your hidden tender side.

For a unique change of pace from traditional Jean-Paul Gaultier scents, try the Fragile Perfume. This velvety-smooth and robust scent juxtaposes saccharine sweetness with cheeky boldness.
