Fragile

22. february 2012 I have been wearing this one lately quite a lot since this is my top 5 favorite fragrance and especially for winter and i couldn ́t stop wondering how the name of the fragrance is chosen so rigt for this masterpiece of JPG. Just whem you expect it to be powdery and heady (something like Classique by JPG which i also like by the way) this one turns out to be indeed one of the most fragilest scents ever. And i spray it a lot onto myself and i don ́t suffocate at all. They say that if a person can ́t smell a scent while wearing it but all the others can, thenit suits him/her the best. This is my case with Fragile. While the combination of tuberose and rose might let you think that this is a headache indulging perfume it is actually not in any of this kind. Very light, yet very stable and very present it is alsways with you, but it also suurounds you and leaves a one of the most wonderful traces of them all. Vanilla is adding that extra point to Fragile, but again not making it heady or intoxicating. This is amazing how all those notes that usually weight down the fragrance are adding light and height to it here. A true masterpiece NOT TO BE COMPARED WITH THE EDT VERSION!!!! They are not the same!!! Just have a SLIGHT similarity, but waaaay too different. I don ́t find it in any way sharp or outdated, absolutly not! Too bad that EDp is getting hard to get and though i have 5 bottles backed up i guess i will use them quite quickly since i use it really a lot. By the way i just discovered that this is now my winter-time night club fragrance. Previously i used "Desnuda" by Ungaro as my going-out-all-year-round-fragrance but now i have another one escpecially for winter time. I have been wearing it lately several times to nightclub and was afraid at first that it might be too heavy, but surprisingly not!!! Keeps me fresh and nice scented all night long which is amazing and biggest bonus that it is completly different from all the others that wear floral-fruity fragrances to the night club. THIS WAS A REVIEW FOR Eau De Parfum VERSION ONLY! P.S. I read that some people compare it to J ́adore by Dior! What a NONSENCE!!! no no no! It is far more complex and rich and incredible than J ́adore! Please do not be fooled by this comparision. And don ́t think that EDT of Fragile is just slighlty lighter than the EDP, No! they are two quite different fragrances.

This wonderful perfume, in its unique bottle, felt like a gift made of golden glow when I first received it. It had just been released, and from the start it was something precious to me. I remember sitting by the window, shaking the tiny golden flakes that floated through the thick liquid, watching them drift around the little figurine inside. In my mind, she was a Hollywood diva from the 1930s, frozen mid-pose on the red carpet — timeless, glamorous, and utterly untouchable, captured in her world of light and luxury. When I wasn’t in the mood to wear it, I’d place it back on its shelf, where it seemed to whisper softly, “You know where to find me.” But on the nights when I was, I’d spray it onto my wrists and behind my ears, and it felt as though the little lady in the bottle came to life — lending me a touch of her charm, her confidence, her shimmer. On special evenings, perhaps even more than a touch. I associate this perfume with so many luminous moments — evenings of laughter, days filled with excitement, memories gilded with its scent. I never wanted the bottle to empty, so I wore it sparingly, and I’m glad to still have it with me. Fragile is a perfume that’s both bold and delicate — radiant and unmistakably present, yet tender at its heart. Heavy enough for everyone around you to notice, but graceful enough to never overstay its welcome. Simply put, it’s glorious

25. january 2011 First when it came out i didn ́t pay much attention to that scent and forgot about it until now! recently i tried it at my friends house and my first impression was: "disgusting!". Very spicy and powderly scent. Very harsh! But then after 15 minutes i couldn ́t stop sniffing my wrist again and again! It became incredibly sensual and elegant at the same time! This is definitly a winter time fragrance, also very good on a fur. What Dior ́s "Addict" couldn ́t give me, this one has it! This one is becoming my definite favorite winter time fragrnace, since i have now a lot of bottles stocked up. I am so in love with this fresh but frosty scent! It is somehow so floral but also very mature and captivating without being a simple floral fragrance. When i look at the composition notes i see a very complex fragrance that transforms after application and that is what i like! I feel like it has honey in it because it smelles so like honey in some way. It has an incredible staying power! The drydown is soooo fantastic! I was wondering what smelled so good on my furs lately and then realized it was Fragile! Oh, and of course the bottle is fantastic, though i find applying it more difficult and uncomfortable than with normal up side sprayer.

05. may 2012 I do apologize since this is not a real review, but i couldn ́t not to write it. The tragedy has happened!!! JPG fragrances officially confirmed that this unbelievable feminine and amazing fragrance is not available in retail anymore (i have sent them a request). I guess this means it has been now discontinued both in EDP and EDT. I CAN`T BELIEVE IT!!! This must be one of the most beautiful fragrances out there ever and one of the most unique bottles!!! I do hope that they will redecorate it in a more simple bottle and relaunch (maybe the bottle was too expensive to produce?), since i use it heavily and soooo in love with this beauty. I simply don ́t get it, why JPG discontinued it, they don ́t have many fragrances, so it makes no sense. This is outstanding and truly Gaultier. I don ́t care for EDT but i can ́t imagine my life without a bottle of EDP "Fragile" :( SAD.

I love the "snow globe" effect! I had this many years ago and i was fascinated by the bottle. The perfume had these gold grittery flakes in there that i would love to stir up... YaY! Ummm...yes i was young but i'd still have that reaction today HA HA HA...I'm such a "grown up" =p Now about the perfume itself...it's a bit Va va voom, but that is to be expected. It's not an over the top perfume but it sure stands out. Very elegant and a tad rebellious. Sweet but not too much, warm and flowery at the same time. Wish i had it again. The only problem is i probably wouldn't use it as much because as the perfume is used up the lady is no longer submerged and u cant play with it anymore... when its around her feet its depressing =( u feel like the party is over and u have to face reality again. Its soooo pretty when its new! =) U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale
