Jean Paul Gaultier · Men's Cologne & Fragrance
Lavender and vanilla in a torso-shaped bottle. Unmistakable since 1995.
4.4 out of 5
Lavender, mint and vanilla in a torso-shaped bottle, unchanged since 1995 and still instantly recognisable. That recognisability is the whole proposition: it is nostalgic and confident rather than current. Very heavy projection — two sprays is the maximum, and three is a genuine imposition on other people.
