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.

I am so glad I discovered this beautiful perfume. It's rich and sultry and it reminds me slightly of Organza by Givenchy. My firdt thought was: this a gorgeous tuberose. The white florals are strong in this. It's definitely not for hot weather, but I think it would be awesome for fall and winter. It' so loglasting. I am not a big fan of JPG, but this is sooo good. I wish the original Fragile available. So classy.

This fragrance makes me so happy! I bought it when I was 16 and I really thought it through, trying the tester for months to make sure that I liked it. Its all flowers with a little citrus thrown in. The flowers remain prsent until the end, it doesnt suddenly become just musk. Nothing smells like this, but the impact it had on me is similar to Lulu Guinness by Lulu Guinness. It goes great with a red scarf!

i love this fragrance. i have an empty edt bottle that i take the snow globe off and sniff it almost every day. this bottle has been empty for more than 10 years yet it still retains that beautiful scent that i long for. amazing. if anyone knows of a scent that is similiar please do tell. im not willing to pay exorbitant prices on ebay for fragile .

One of my all time favorites, and the first full sized fragrance I bought. There is just a tiny bit left in the bottle and it smells like rancid alcohol with one or two of the base notes left. I will never throw the bottle though. Too pretty. WHY did they have to discontinue this one?!? Why?

I have been looking for this for such a long time at a decent price and finally I have this beauty in my hands. Sparkling, uplifting, vibrant , soft and powdery and the epitome of feminine, it engulfs me as I move and i couldn’t be happier. we are in COVID lockdown though.

After a very long time I sprayed it again. It ́s an icon between JPG scents with a bad name. This beauty is real and only ADORE.

LOVE THIS. IT SMELL JUST LIKE J'ADORE... AND THE BOTTLE ES WONDERFULL. SMELL LIKE WHITE FLOWERS. THIS IS VERY SPECIAL. 10/10

Oh, how I loved this scent. Elegant, feminine tuberose perfume. And I loved the snow globe bottle, too.

Crispy pears + tuberoses. Green, "wet", magical, mysterious. Color: dark green, Slytherin green.

I have a love hate relationship with this perfume. I really don't understand why it smells so sour the moment it touches my skin. It goes away after two minutes or so.. The orange blossom is...just....too much for me. I bought this by accident years ago and I haven't been using it much tbh, its too sweet to wear during the daytime and a bit... well the point is its not really my cup o tea. I do kinda enjoy the drydown but if I have to wear a perfume for hours until I finally like how I smell I dont think its worth putting it on anyway. It is not at all a bad fragrance, its sweet and screams feminine. I'd keep the bottle in the top shelf because its so pretty (do'oh), but I'll try sniffing it again once in a while and see if I changes my mind by then.

Only Jean Paul Gaultier could make the edp and the edt smell like 2 different things. LOL Genius! The edt was a distant memory of its more seductress counterpart, the edp "snow globe"... and it wasn't as much fun to play with either. But i did give it a try and obviously i liked it =) Sadly this 2 has been discontinued and the "fermented" ones that u can still buy online... well i'm just 2 afraid 2 touch =(... they surely wont smell the same and the overpricing is ridiculous. Just because it's old ppl doesn't make it "vintage"! Ha ha ha! =P U can follow me on YouTube @ BeautyOnSale

It truly reminds me of J'Adore but with carroty nuances in the start. Tuberose is evident from the start tinged by citruses and pink pepper. It is rather free time parfume, good for a date or another meeting. It is voluptuous and special. The bottle is gorgeous too. So wrong that Fragile is discontinued. As it dries down it becomes more like J'Adore and J'Adore Absolu so the ones missing it should change to it. With this change comes even more versatility. Many hours in and it gets complimented as deliciously trailing behind me.

Its a lovely summer sun cream type with bright mandarin on light tuberose. Requires warm weather to come out of its shell. Nothing too outstanding but very pleasant and uplifting. I admit, I bought mine solely for the bottle, just love the golden snow globe cap. It is really very lovely on the dry down, more of the layers showing through. To me it doesn’t have a big sillage but a gentleman in the supermarche smelled it well enough to compliment. Warm/hot weather use only! Otherwise it doesn’t warm up enough to release the scent.

Reminds me of Dior J'adore at first sniff. Very beautiful and feminine. After a few minutes I notice some fruity scent which makes it much deeper and sweeter than J'adore. I like it a lot. The bottle is stunning. I love that it has magnet inside the golden part of the bottle so it's very easy to put a cap back on. The sillage and longevity are moderate but acceptable for EDT. So sad that it discontinued so I have to treasure the last bottle that I have.

My favourite every day-perfume, it's very, very feminine, nicely old-fashioned, confident and serene. Citrus notes don't make it nor too sweet neither sour, just fresh, luminous and sparkling in a nice, moderate way. I smell a bit of pear and honey. It's very elegant and I find it sexy, in a classic way, like a day-time diva from the 40s. Like all the Gaultiers, this one too is very original.
