Classique X

Softly sweet, citrusy, woody, floral, powdery, white floral, iris, fresh spicy, vanilla, luminous, opulent, sparkling, translucent, ethereal, crisp, dewy, fresh, clean, radiant, feminine, sensual, chic, classy, elegant, sophisticated, charming, whimsical, magical, delicate, uplifting, cheerful, alluring, inviting, On me this opens citrusy, radiant, and crisp with bright and tart bergamot and vibrant mandarin orange. The heart blooms with sweetly citrusy orange blossom, velvety iris, and lush peony. The dry down gains depth with sweetly woody Virginia cedar and sensual vanilla. The notes that are the most prominent on me are the bergamot, mandarin orange, African orange flower, and Virginia Cedar I have several JPG perfumes including Classique (OG lace corset bottle) Classique X, Jewel Edition, Classique Pin Up, La Belle, and La Belle Flower Edition. Classique and Classique Pin Up are tied for my favorite. I have a sample of Divine Le Parfum which I really enjoy too. I’m also really looking forward to getting the new Divine Couture as the merengue and raspberry notes sound amazing! I also wanted to mention how gorgeous these bottles are! I really love how Classique X Jewel Edition (I have the 100ml bottle) comes with an actual detachable necklace with a chic, long, black, beaded look with little Xs that’s crisscrossed across the bottle. Classique X reminds me quite a bit of Marc Jacobs Mod Noir, Coach Legacy, Coach Coach, VS Pink, and even somewhat of Chloe Love Story.

A citrusy, woody, white-floral fragrance, which I am reaching for now that it's spring, though could well be worn year-round. Feminine, long-lasting, and quietly insinuating. Its resemblance to D&G Light Blue is only in the initial moments. Soon after it deepens into the familiar orange blossom headiness of the original Classique, albeit softer and with a gentler trail, with a breath of vanilla beneath cedar. One or two sprays are enough. The "X" in the name raised expectations upon its release: that this would be a dirtier, sexual, "X-rated" version of Classique. And of course people were disappointed: Classique X is not a ramped-up take on the original, and to me the name refers to "X Factor" -- that subtle piquant quality surrounding the wearer, not easy to pinpoint, but wholly effective. A perfume for work and play, and might infuse some femininity into a pin-stripy environment.

This one is my favourite among all the Classique versions. Its classic yes, but has a modern edge that is more appelative that the Classique edt/edp. Absolutly seductive in a innocent way. I love the composition, on my skin its pure orange flower gourgeously blended with bergamot, exactly how you want it to be, and dont need anything else. A warm clean scent, perfect to dress a naked skin. It lingers for ages on skin and clothes. I would say its a great bedtime scent, makes you feel beautifull and feminine. To use in winter time, on romantic dinners also. Its not outstanding, loud or a sex bomb. Its a gracefull, silky scent. All ages can wear it and I think its a nice smell for men too because its so clean. If you are looking for something simple, clean and white but not dull or boring, this is it.

It's beautiful fresh & powdery it is clean energizing yet feminine and natural all the while, what more could one want in a fragrance it is great for all occasions and makes me feel feminine and energetic and fresh. This is one of my favorites and by far the best jean paul gaultier fragrance i really dislike the original this one if so different it is so much more lively powdery and just better put together. It is warm natural and has a cashmere feel to it. It is such a pleasant perfume i would give it 9 out of 10 for originality and how long lasting it is. It is a happy perfume i feel it is great for Autumn when the leaves are falling off the trees and there is a sharp coldness in the air.

I remember wearing this at 25 , it was as grown up as I could be, I enjoyed the bottle and the design but most of all the decadent baby powder note. I wore this in Adelaide’s blistering heat on a work race day event and the cutest , shyest boy in the office waited for me outside my car and dared to whisper to me ‘you smell great!’ That day I came second in the vote for best dressed and he told me even I hadn’t won he wanted to me to know that he had voted for me! Today I can’t quite find what I enjoy in the fragrance notes themselves but just the scent of it and I’m awash with the intoxicating nostalgia of when my crush said he loved it!! And little baby me was finding her womanhood

The mildest scent I ever sniffed from my growing perfume collection. I love the fact that is light just like an angel's breath! Citrusy & fresh. Glad I bought 100 ml. This may not be my signature scent but I swear I will use this everyday. The scent will brighten up your day & will leave a smile on your face when it starts to dry down into a lovely powdery scent. *A no brainer scent. *A must-have! *Mild yet energizing. Will I repurchase? Yeah I would love to but I gotta try the mentioned perfumes with similar scent ;) But I might get another stock for this & JPG Ma Dame EDT which is my current favorite. P.S. I LOVE JPG Perfume Collections!

I noticed that: - It is a lovely summer scent, is wearable even with +35C and high humidity. I am not saying that you can't wear it in fall and winter, but you know, passing the 'summer-scent test' is hard, especially at certain latitudes. - It is different from the original Classique but at the same time it has a high degree of sexiness that only JPG can create. - It is rather soft but somehow it lingers, especially in the heat of the summer. - Last but not least, it has a positive effect on men - if you know what I mean. For all these reasons I love this perfume and wanna scream: 'Thank you to JPG, you're as iconic as your creations".

Whenever i wear this perfume i think cashmere, it is just luxurious and the scent its self has a cashmere feel to it, i feel a million dollars when i wear it it is classy and sophisticated and is an office type perfume it makes me feel like a strong sensual independent sophisticated woman, it has the perfect blend of gentle wood and musk with a citrus scent sparking through, it is very light and soft which is slightly disappointing for the price but i believe if it were a heavy strong scent that would ruin the whole feel and impression the perfume gives making it cheap and brass. The lightness adds to the subtly and luxuriousness of it.

I remember this emerging into the mainstream commercial outlets, albeit only the most prestigious, way back last year. What a first impression! I was IMMEDIATELY drawn to the presentation, but funny thing, I couldn't tell what was inside it!! (cue cringe of cuteness! How aaaah!) So six months later, I seized the chance to buy and lo and behold, surprise greeted me. Looks spectacular, but actually, is soft, gentle, serene, like a quiet winter morning on Primrose Hill, North London, or the church behind my parents' house. Echoes of pussy catkin, and sweet spice. Pleasing.

This is one of my go-to fragrances. I wear it in the winter and evenings or special events otherwise. I find the perfect amount is two spritzes, one high and on an exposed area of skin and on the small of my back. It is so unique without any outrageousness or being too shocking. You will likely be the only one wearing it making you stand out. I think it stands on its own in character, but aspects of it do remind me of others, but the whole doesn't. They dry-down I find particularly nice, usually they are too single noted for my taste.

Classique X Jean Paul Gaultier for women opens with a strong Bergamot smell, which lost about 15 minutes, then it change to a floral smell, which increase more and more. Y didn’t like the opening but more the time past, it gets better. Longevity is about 3-4 hours I love the bottle; it’s like a dark cruel whore, I think I will use it for a good time because it is not a offensive smell neither a sweet smell is just perfect for day with friends or a dinner with family. Not for a club night neither for a night at the beach.

I Love this perfume, A soft tangy orange with a floral note, I find this perfume very sexy! There is not much in common with the original JPG. This perfume lasts on my skin 24 hours+ which is wonderful being as the scent is not to strong or overwhelming.

I love this, smells really pretty on me. My husband bought it for me for a gift, and though I wouldn't have chosen it for myself, when I wear it I feel happy all day, like I'm walking around in a bubble of summer. : )

oh dear god, this is so beautiful I could literally bathe in it, something like "liquid hope". I only hate the longevity - it ́s necessary to reapply app. every 2 hours :(

I really love this one. Its fresh in the beginning and ends powdery with some iris. This one is better for me then the original Classique

HA! this one is great... it's light, calm, feminine and a bit sweet because of vanilla as the base note. great for summer, day and night.

Love this perfume! Valentine's Day Gift from my hubby! So sweet and I am so happy!!! ;)

X is nothing like the JPG scents I have tried or owned before &, in contrast to its familiar shape & mysterious abstract name, it is as gentle & a summer's breeze & as innocent & natural as a lamb. X is a fairly light-weight, airy scent that hangs around for a decent length of time with a polite sillage. It starts with a sharp opener of gentle citrus peels, alcohol & bergamot - a touch bitter & very refreshing, similar to a gin & tonic. The heart is fluttering & light - a warm wind wafting thistledown over a brook where dappled sunlight falls. Very natural, prettily floral, the orange blossom taking the back seat whilst the iris sways & takes centre stage, framed by the slight warmth of light, bright vanilla. Luckily, X never becomes too powdery, too sweet or over-floral, but remains gentle, feminine, softly-fresh & almost fizzy from the addition of cedar. It is akin to Light Blue in nature, but X has a stillness, a calm, cool, natural, womanly edge that sets it apart. For someone who admires depth, power & strength in a fragrance & who tends to prefer oriental & woody scents this one took me by suprise. For me, it is a "strong like" for this very gentle, reserved perfume. Perfect for warm, balmy, lazy days. Thank you Nathalie for the introduction!

I will start by stating that this has very little in common with the original JPG Classique. It's a nice scent, but a far cry from its mother. It's a nice scent, but that sums up about all that I feel about it. It really does smell quite nice, but I never felt that it was very memorable. The citrus note in the beginning often turned a little sour on me, so that could be what's standing in the way of me calling this an exceptional perfume. It had a nice, powdery base, but it didn't last more than about four hours on me, even considering the fact that I had gotten the EDT. Everything about it was just fine and dandy, but I didn't fall in love with it. I got compliments here and there on it, and I liked it just fine, but I probably would not repurchase it, in favor of something that's a little more memorable or sexy on me.

My true love wears 'LE Male' so I was hoping to find a female version of that intoxicating scent. Classique is pretty, but doesn't have the intoxication of it's animus, Le Male. It has a soft, pretty scent that doesn't last too long from a distance, but up close it does linger for a while... It has a moderness to it, and reminds me a lot of the smell of Jasmine tea (boyfriend noticed this first), and the vanilla and orange notes are my favs. I prefer more of a fruity gourmand scent, but this one is a nice change. The bergamont note is a nice one and I find it's a note that is in a lot of scents that I like for both men and women. This is a good scent for work, casual gatherings with friends of family, or a blind date (lol) where you don't want something too overpoweringly sexy, but still want to smell classy and sweet.

Classique X: A classic case of "deception by packaging". Sporting that "X" letter on the can that serves for package and replacing the corset that distinguishes the Classique line, one would expect a "sex in a bottle", outstanding frangrance. However, the truth is different: A powdery orange blossom based perfume that lasts quite well, Classique X does not enter into the "domina, black leather" sexy kind, but rather into the "nude-color lace lingerie" sexy, which is fine because it creates a lovely " your skin but better" effect; thus, it can be worn for formal environments, for evening or the bedroom. Perhaps this was the purpose of Classique X: to be a skin of sorts to wear for both the "ready or not here I come" and the "tenderly desirable" groups .

Really love this scent. It's such a beautiful light, fresh, floral scent which could never be deemed offensive. It's a very "pretty" scent. My only qualm with this fragrance is its lack of staying power! 1 hour & it's gone... Furthermore, the sprayer dispenses a lot of liquid & although I've only worn it a few times (this is one of my newest purchases), it seems as if I've used a lot! So overall I love the scent, but the staying power is disappointing & perhaps I will have to purchase the matching lotion..

It took me many years and tries, from dislike to agreement. When I first got the bottle in 2011, it didn't work on my skin at all. Now it's very pleasant, soft, fresh and powdery. It smells like lazy, sunny Sunday mornings in bed with fresh linen, hot coffee and fresh flowers on the table. Classique X is a skin scent. It does not over power, just makes you smell nice. And isn't that sometimes all you need? Time can do marvelous things. (I still don't like the bottle, though. Not at all!)

This is a bergamot bomb. And I mean it as a compliment. As probably many others I expected heavily sweet feel of Classique. And we were all wrong I guess. The opening hits a bit of a masculine vibe thanks to that prominent bergamot but that's fine by me. It's nicely sour and very refreshing. The drydown brings up jasmine. I can hardly detect vanilla. But it's there, far, far in the background and very subtle. Fantastic spring/summer fragrance.

Like stated here already, Classique X is not really anything like the original JPG Classique. Classique X is a beautiful floral, the citrus note and the florals are perfectly balanced, This is definitely a safe fragrance to wear really anywhere, it makes for such a pleasant accessory, I'd say it is very feminine. The only thing misleading is the X because, this, while utterly lovely is not exactly edgy.

One word: Sassy! A little tart, a little tangy and very citrus. I enjoy it very much. I don't think of this as sexy or classique, as the name and bottle would have you assume, but it is very playful and slightly catty. I see this catching more attention from women than men, in a way one might ask with narrowed eyes, "Hmmm...what in the world are you wearing? But more importantly, where can I buy it?"

I quite like it. When I tried the original Classique and didn't like it, it took me some time to try another perfume by this brand. This is much more tender than the original. Likable and nice floral citrus scent. Smells like citrus flavored tea to me. There's a powdery scent, must be iris note Although, the original wasn't my taste, this one was a great one to try out.

I had the sample of original classique and I love it.But I can't find it anywhere in my regions and so I bought this one.They smell absolutely different and I prefer the original one.This is soapy,floral,light,not spicy and casual for me.

It smells a little like a man's cologne-- yet feminine at the same time. I smell neroli somehow yet it isn't a note. Very clean/fresh type scent and I think the bottle is beautiful. Lasts a few hours, like 4-5 hours.

this is perfect for a sunny spring day, love the powdery flower notes with a hint of citrus and soft cedar. it just lights up my day, wish it would last longer than 2h on my skin...

Another soft gentle beautiful elegant fragrance by Jean Paul. Beautiful notes my only problem is that lasting power isn't like the original which is a shame.

I am not a big fan of Gaultier perfumes, but this one attracted my attention. I like it. I like citrus in it. It's light and yet very fresh.

Woah, LEMON! I like it. It's very much a citrus scent that is not suggestive of much else, but if you're into lemon: you can't go wrong.

Really nice and fresh, but nothing special about it... reminds me of D&G Light Blue... Would be a great summer scent.

This kinda light soft sexy feminine. Is it just me or my hormonal ?!?!

Oh Classique X you are dearly missed... The touch of fresh spicyness and iris and JPG magic dust made this perfume unique in the white floral citrus category. I still miss this beauty to this day. So much better than the original Classique, which makes me gag everytime I catch a whiff of it somewhere. This flanker however was lighter, airier, girlier, mystique and alluring. I wish they'd bring it back *sighs*

clas·sic/ˈklasik/ Adjective: Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind. Of the three requirements for something to be a classic this misses on all of them. It's been on the market for a year; it isn't the highest quality; it's certainly not outstanding of its kind. The cheekiness of this sort of pretentious self-congratulation is not the only reason I dislike this stuff but it certainly adds to the dislike. This is an extremely citrusy, bitter woody scent that comes across as a cheaply done vetiver. The florals are anemic and fade almost immediately leaving a medicinal green goo. Add in that it's extremely overpriced and we've got the perfect definition of cashing in on its sibling's earned fame. Sillage: Perfect for annoying others on the subway Persistence: 5-7 hours Fabulosity: Donald Trump Price to value ratio: lousy 2/10

I wanted to like this. I really did. I thought perhaps I could use it as a summerscent, since the original CLASSIQUE (EDT) is my favorite fragrance. So I tested it today and my first idea was ... Fanta! CLASSIQUE X opens with a sugary mandarin smell. It's not unpleasant, certainly not, but well, I don't really want to smell like Fanta. It's very sweet, but also quite light. And very fake. Nearly all op JPG's fragrances have that fake thing. But in most of them it works. It does not in CLASSIQUE X however. I sprayed it about 3 or 4 hours ago and all I can smell now is some musk and a slight hint of mandarin. It actualy has no distinct drydown on my skin. It just stays the same. There's no hint of the wonderful vanilla that makes the original CLASSIQUE so very good. So no, not for me. At all. I just don't like sugared fruit in a fragrance.

Very unisex. The loud, almost loquat sourness in the beginning is so off-putting I will never pick this up again. Yes, there is fleeting bergamot but there is a sour powder drydown as well. I dread every stage and dread wearing it again.

At first try I think I like it. I liked the bottle too But when I gave a try on anotherday. I felt that it's too sharp with alcohol and smell bitter of what i don't know. But my daugther like it so I gave it to her it's not bad mmm..

This perfume starts out with a lovely light lemony citrus smell then come the florals which are pretty strong and headache inducing, they smell like washing detergent such a shame as I really wanted to like this.

watery light floral with slightly tangy citrus, overall very boring but could be a nice everyday perfume for someone who loves freshies. The sensual bottle design doesn’t match the blandness of the contents.

Very much iris and bergamott in this. Kind of heavy and good longvity. Just used up my 20ml that was left finally. Not a perfume i will buy again though. But i will save the beautiful bottle on the shelf :)

read the profile and purchased without testing. what a mistake. very chemically when first sprayed. reminded me of holiday insect repellent spray. Peppery floral yuck. could not wait to wash it off

This smells really cheap and synthetic to me. I can't really make out any notes, just heavy, plastic stench.

I just agree with purrz11. It's too ordinary. I'm disappointed and I prefer other JPG fragrances.

Ok, I just recently tried this one and the original Classique EDT, both at the same time. And while I absolutely LOVED Classique this one left me feeling bored AND gagged (how about that combo). To me its all about the bergamont and orange flower. I know a lot of fragrances that smell like this one, however this one takes it to a whole.nother.level. WAAY too much of a boring thing. To me it smells very similar to John Varvatos Artisan, a more feminine version of course. But while Artisan stays fresh and evaporates to a dry base, this one turns muggy and leaves behind a sweet slightly stale and musky fingerprint. I would describe it as orange peels left in a bowl full of fruit loop milk and cigarette ashes (I'm picturing a hotel room here, with the murky morning rays peeping through the curtains, revealing the aftermath of one hell of a night!) Of course I'm exaggerating... but I'm also right lol (just kidding, opinions are not facts!) So to the nitty. If you aren't into reading long reviews and just want to know whether to take interest or move on, I'll just say this. Try if you are into fragrances like 212 Sexy, VS Very sexy, Valentino Valentina maybe. You're young (ish) and trendy and prefer perfume that smells like it could be your natural body odor (bc young ladies NEVER stink.)You like citruses and "fresh" musks, and the closest thing to an oriental you'll bother to go near is Armani Code. I would say skip this one if you like your perfumes bold or at least noticeable. Also skip this if you dislike fragrances that are kind of oily, if you catch my meaning... instead you prefer fragrances that you can sniff without it invading you entire chest cavity. And lastly, skip it if Bergamont or Orange flower is not your favorite note, and you think that the perfect "fresh fragrance" should just be an ordinary bar of soap.

I love the original Classique for women with its delicious oriental feel and sexy floral accords, so when I saw this new Classique X flanker with the raunchy adverstising, I expected something sexier and richer. I find Classique X a powdery, softer version of Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue. Disappointing actually, as I don't like all those citrusy, lemony accords. It's a mixture of sharp citrus and soapy florals on a rich, woodsy base. Not particularly sexy, but refreshing to say the least. When it comes to the warmer weather I'd be more tempted to reach for Classique Summer 2010, (which was a lovely soapy and flowery scent), over and above Classique X. I think the intention of releasing this fragrance was to have it appeal to women who were not fans of the original Classique. Although I don't entirely understand the craze over fruity and citrusy scents, they do tend to sell well and are usually big hits for perfume companies. Despite my dislike for this bitter, uneventful fragrance, I have no doubt that there are some women who are quite enamoured with it. Although the lasting strength is quite good, I've come to the conclusion that I much prefer Jean Paul Gaultier's orientals and masculine offerings. Classique X has missed the mark with me and left me quite cold and unimpressed.

Just received this one last week in a swap and I have to say I am enjoying this one. I love anything vintage in general and this has a slight vintage feel to it but I don't know why nor what it reminds me of. I also love fresh scents, therefore this is the perfect mixture of fresh but vintage and very womanly. A few reviewers said this is not sexy but I feel just the opposite. This has a sexy edge to it but I can't put my finger on what gives it that edge. Classique X is very light but has presence, it kind of lingers but in a "I don't smell it but then I get a whiff when the wind catches it" kind of way. I think I just realized why this is sexy. It has the scent of a second skin on the wearer if the chemistry is right, the kind that makes passers by or your significant other want to come closer to sniff out the lovely aroma of orange blossom and powder with a hint of something edgy which intrigues the sniffer hee hee. Loving it :) Edit: Ok, I think this is becoming a favorite just on scent alone, I have not even worn it out of the house yet so I'll update. Just off sitting here sniffing it, there's just something about it that says "Me"!!

since a fragrantica member recommended me to try this one,when I was looking for a citrus perfume,I had it in my test list.long time later,I found it in a very good deal and I didn't much hesitate in trying and then buying it for half price. this is very fresh,like it seems clear from the notes,it almost smells like sprite drinks.but also,it's kinda heavy.bergamot,orange flower and iris are very dominant to my nose and I guess iris causes its heavy and mature smelling.it can even be unisex.so it's not recommendable to young girls looking for a nice new floral fruity perfume with citrus hints! honestly talking,this is not my perfect type of perfume.sometimes it's sharpness can even make me sick.but I like the way it's different and I'll occasionally wear it during summer. the long lasting power and sillage are average,which is pretty good for a citrus EDT perfume.but I'm wondering what I am supposed to do with the tach.I've always had this problem with JPG perfumes.I remember I throw away Madam EDP tach,because I thought it's useless.but this one's pretty.so I guess I'll have to remove it everytime I wanna spray and then put it in place.
