The house

More from Jean Paul Gaultier

Jean Paul Gaultier began in France in 1982 as the house of a designer known as fashion's enfant terrible, and the perfumes keep his playful streak. Sweetness is the house language: vanilla, tonka bean, caramel and honey, often cut with lavender, mint or bergamot. Le Male is the starting point, an aromatic take on vanilla with a fresh, spicy lift. Le Male Elixir pushes it richer, into honey. Scandal pairs honey with white flowers, and La Belle is fruit and vanilla. For a greener mood, Le Beau Paradise Garden brings coconut and fresh leaves.
