Description
Jean Paul Gaultier presents Classique X L’Eau in 2012 as a variation on the theme of the Classique X floral fragrance from 2010, which is again a kind of fresher interpretation of the cult fragrance Classique from 1993. The new fragrance is a sexy and seductive, as the whole line, bringing a new wave of freshness.
The composition is created by Jacques Cavallier of fresh and green upper notes of bergamot and neroli. Signature accord of orange blossom in the heart is blended with delicate peony, all laid on the base of vanilla and powdery orris root.
The bottle and the box design is the same for the entire line – the bottle is shaped as women’s curves and the box is a metal tin. The new edition is adorned with pearly – pink shades and “X” pendant on the neck of the bottle.
The fragrance is available as 100 ml Eau de Toilette, a limited edition.

Absolutely love this one! Its classy, feminine and a bit sexy. Not as strong as the original (thank god). I love the mix of white flower and Orris root that gives it a bit powdery feeling. Rather skinclose and very teasing, makes me inhale a lot and sniff my wrist. Good to wear year around.
Kärlek! klassisk, feminin och lite sexig. Inte så kraftig som originalet (tack gode god). Älskar mixen av vita blommor och Orrisroten med sin lite pudriga framtoning. Relativt hudnära men otroligt retsam, får mig att ta djupa andetag genom näsan när jag sniffar på handleden.

I love this perfume for a fresh and sexy everyday scent. The citrus and florals blend beautifully to give a lasting fresh and clean smell that I get complimented on every time I wear this perfume. This bottle adds something different from the rest of my collection; the scent also works well for occasion wear, though it is something that I reach for whenever I want to smell good and not overpowering. The bottle is also very appealing and looks great on display. Love this!

It’s very citric. I smell a lot of white flower and citrus notes. Soapy and strong. On me it smells sharp. I think this could pass as a unisex, easily.

My top scent for summer, this is very fresh, yet very feminine, zesty. Bright, but rounded, nothing screechy about it!! Distinctive, Gaultier just gets women!! It has a certain sweetness, but in a fresh natural way, not in a candy way.. The orange blossom is one of the best in my opinion..
I agree X has more depth, but I like l’ Eau for summer…
Cavallier is a top nose!!

This is WEIRD to me!!!! I don’t know how to describe it. Sweet, but in a flowery way [no sugar to be found here]. Maybe a little citrus. Very soft, with low lasting power. Could see this as a bedtime perfume. Reminds me of fluffy clouds.

Surprise, very elegant and classy floral, very lasting, a keeper.

This scent is gorgeous! I can oversrpay it literally and it don’t become sticky. At the other side of the freshness it’s sexy too. Good choise for Spring and Summer. Sadly it’s limited edition, now that I found a Jean Paul Gaultier classique version that I like!!
Longevity is good for a light EDT version, and sillage close to skin. But if you put some in your clothes and hair is great!

L’eau is sweeter, with less bergamot than X. They’re still extremely similar, however- almost to the point where I wonder why they made them two separate fragrances. Of the two I think I like X better because of the lovely woods and vanilla in the drydown. L’eau is gone in a flash, with only a hint of sweetness left behind on my skin.

Lovely but very similar to Classique X EDP which I already own, l’Eau is lighter, more citrusy , fresh , great but really very similar. But I love Classique X so much, the Eau version adds a little twist to it, so it is happily in my collection!!!

Smooth, youthful, great for day-to-day. Do not look anything like the original JPG Classique.

The next one will be : Classique X L’Eau Intense, or L’Eau Absolue
Or best : L’Eau Florale !!

This is a lovely, fresh, feminine, orange blossomy new summer fragrance. Lasts a long time for a light eau de toilette, and isn’t really any lighter than the original Classique X, this is just missing the cedar note and the opening is sharper (but fleeting). Otherwise this is softer and sweeter than the original, but not too sweet or powdery (after trying Love Chloe I don’t think I’ll ever describe another scent as being powdery, that one was like drowning in a vat of old fashioned face powder by the drydown). The iris (orris root) is not very pronounced in this (not like in Prada Infusion d’Iris, although quick in that one but it is there) but it tempers the vanilla so that this doesn’t get too sweet. All in all quite linear, no surprises in the stages and that’s what I like about it. A true skin scent in that it stays close and is your skin but better!
