Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2001, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Fragile opens with Lemon, Orange, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Woody and Musk. Jean Paul Gaultier's Fragile carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This EDT is a bright, fizzing white floral that divides opinion sharply from its EDP sibling. While some find it a masterful, sophisticated scent for all occasions, others dismiss it as a diluted, uninspired flanker. Expect a sparkling, feminine aura and plenty of compliments, or a barely-there citrus-heavy disappointment.

About

Fragile EDT opens with a zesty, effervescent burst of mandarin, orange, and lemon, quickly joined by a hint of juicy raspberry and a playful prickle of pink pepper. This vibrant citrus top yields to a heart of lush, creamy tuberose and sweet orange blossom, creating a distinctly feminine white floral bouquet that avoids being overly heady. The scent settles into a soft, musky, woody base, retaining a delicate freshness that lingers beautifully on the skin.
