Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Summer Fragrance 2009 is a body spray launched in 2009. Classique Summer Fragrance 2009 opens with Clementine, Lemon, Orange Blossom, and Rose, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Jean Paul Gaultier's Classique Summer Fragrance 2009 carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A divisive summer take on the Classique DNA: some love its soft, powdery, long-lasting appeal, others find it too soapy or powdery. Not a blind buy, but worth trying if you're a fan of the original and want a lighter touch.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a burst of bright clementine and lemon, softened by delicate orange blossom and a hint of spicy star anise, this scent quickly transitions. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and iris, with a subtle whisper of ginger adding warmth. The dry-down settles into a comforting embrace of sweet vanilla and resinous amber, creating a soft, powdery finish.
