Fragile Eau de Toilette

I decided to visit a charity shop this afternoon. There was nothing much but I picked up a vintage Wedgwood tiny vase with a rose motif and gold rim. As I went to pay, I noticed the shop assistant was arranging a bottle of Fragile EDT in the display, by the till. I asked her if I could look at it and checked the batch code: 18 years old, 80% left in the bottle. I tried it, it was still smelling good, in fact, absolutely spectacular: slightly fruity, light citrus, and sweet, a sophisticated white flowers perfume. The lady warned me it was £50, I smiled, paid and walked out with this incredible creation. A stunning perfume. I don't really get on much with current JPG perfumes, but this...this is an absolute gem!

This fragrance was my signature one for the last 7 years, one of my all-time favorites. I love everything about it, from the elegant, beautiful feminine scent to the fantastic design of the bottle. This fragrance always draws attention to the person wearing it. I was non-stop asked by men what is the name of perfume I'm wearing. This smell is constantly drawing compliments. It is very hard to describe this fragrance. It is floral, but in its special, sophisticated way. The notes are very good balanced, nothing "loud" about this perfume. Very classic, still modern. It is long lasting, but not over-powering, not even at the very first moment you spritz it on your skin. Unfortunately it was discontinued.

Such an addictive and memorable scent. Feminine and floral, fresh but a bit oily French perfumery at its best! The drydown kept citrusy and woody notes on the skin in a soft veil of the white flowers and it reminds me of Pure Poison by Dior a bit. I think they were closely related. My sister was addicted to Fragile and after it got discontinued I sent the last bottle I could find together with a 30ml of Pure Poison. She misses Fragile, but loves Pure Poison. The bottle and the box were like a new, fresh breeze of a clever, inventive marketing in perfumery. Playful bottles that look great when displayed. I love the advertising as well! A MASTERPIECE! 10/10

I love this and used to wear it. Interestingly, to my nose, Burberry's London, Juicy Couture, and this smell almost exactly alike, but with slightly different dry downs. 10/14/11 Interesting: London = Juicy Couture = Jean Paul Gualtier Fragile. At least on my skin. Wearing all three right now, and they're almost indistinguishable. The Fragile turns a little softer - almost a green tea note. The JC gets a little bit of a bubblegum note as it dries down. The London gets a little warmer. But extremely, surprisingly similar!

I believe this was my first tuberose scent, and I have been big into white florals ever since. It is extremely feminine without being girly, but also bright and fun. The snow globe topper fits the scent very well, as it sparkles on the skin like glitter. The fragrance is similar in a way to J'adore but with added citrus fizz like a glass of prosecco. I always loved wearing this, it made me feel confident and womanly.
