Classique Eau de Parfum Collector 2017, from Jean Paul Gaultier was released in 2017. The perfumer behind this creation is Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. It has the top notes of Mandarin Orange, Rose, and Rum, middle notes of Narcissus and Orchid, and base notes of Amber, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla.
I bought this original one in 1993 and since that I haven’t wanted to be without this in my collection. That was my signature scent for years, at least 7 years and I never got bored. I have owned MANY bottles. Now as I have this Collector 2017 edition I don’t love it as much as the original one back in the days. This is like watered down and more sweet. There is missing that intoxicating a little bit powdery feeling which I got from the og Classique. Actually when I bought it I didn’t know that the scent is not the same. So now I have og Classique parfum which has been macerated well many years and the scent is amazing and this Collector version as well. Since I felt in love with niche world I haven’t been wearing this so often and I wanted to have that original Classique. It has always the place in my heart and on the shelf. Since this scent is a legendary I just wanted to share history with this scent, I don’t think so many needs the scent it self analyzed. I give this 5/10, it’s still sexy and seductive, but it’s not deep and addictive like I wanted it to be and it’s a little bit cloying. Anyway it has a great projection, sillage and longevity.
