Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1999, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Fragile opens with Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Tuberose, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Cinnamon. Jean Paul Gaultier's Fragile carries an Acquired verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This isn't 'Fragile' at all. It's a bold, spicy tuberose with serious vintage glamour, best worn when you want to make a statement. Prepare for compliments; just don't expect a delicate flower.

About

Fragile opens with a vibrant burst of star anise and ginger, quickly giving way to a rich, opulent white floral heart dominated by indolic tuberose and creamy ylang-ylang, softened by a touch of rose and iris. The dry down settles into a warm, inviting embrace of amber, vanilla, and cinnamon, with a hint of musk that adds depth and allure.
