Jean Paul Gaultier La Favorite is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2026, created by Quentin Bisch and Amélie Jacquin. La Favorite opens with Lemon Zest, Bergamot, Bitter Orange, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Night Blooming Cereus, Rose, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Clean Musk. Jean Paul Gaultier's La Favorite carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive, intriguing, and undeniably JPG. La Favorite swings between '90s floral nostalgia and a modern gourmand twist, leaving some utterly smitten and others scratching their heads. You'll either adore its sweet, creamy embrace or find it a bit too much.

Scent Profile

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.

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it a bit much for the office, but perfect for dates where its sensual, warm character can shine. It's versatile enough for casual outings and can dress up for formal events, though its sweetness might be too playful for the most traditional settings.

About

La Favorite opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and bitter orange, quickly softened by a sweet, slightly indolic ylang-ylang. The heart unfolds into a rich, creamy bouquet of jasmine and night-blooming cereus, bringing an almost nutty, honeyed depth. As it settles, a warm, sensual base of vanilla, tonka bean, and smooth benzoin emerges, grounded by clean musk and a hint of cedarwood, creating a sweet, enveloping aura.
