Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Gaultier² EDP
Seriously divisive. Some say it's a spot-on recreation of a beloved classic, others are fuming about the changes. If you cherish the original, sample with extreme caution before buying this one. If you're new to it, expect a pleasant, warm, and comforting scent.

Our Verdict - Second Intrinsic EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Jean Paul Gaultier II - a floral fragrance led by Jasmine, with woody depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

Season and Occasion Fit

Gaultier²

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its warm, sensual nature makes it ideal for dates and comfortable casual wear. While some find it subtle enough for office, the amber and powdery accords can be a bit much for professional settings. It's definitely not a sport scent.

Second Intrinsic

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The floral character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Its floral, woody signature leans toward casual and daily wear - approachable enough for date use without overwhelming a room.
