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 I don ́t find it in any way sharp or outdated, absolutly not!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

I find this as a fresh take on a classic type of fragrance . I envision old-Hollywood glamour with this scent ... an elegant and vivacious lady wearing this fragrance for a romantic night out. I was surprised that I really, really like it -- I probably shouldn't be surprised since to put it simply, it smells wonderful! I just thought that the bottle is so gorgeous and I won't care if I like how it smells but I am also enjoying the juice inside. It's distinctly floral, I smell the different flowers instantly and some sweet notes in the background. It's quite a beautiful blend and it smells so luxurious. After a few minutes of spraying it on my skin, the scent that lingered is sweet and very feminine.

Finally I can review the EDP version which is far different from EDT. EDP is still an 'all about tuberose' fragrance but it is more spicy and woody than EDT. To my surprise, both editions (EDT and EDP) smell just as powerful and last long. EDP is more elegant and it is certainly not a casual fragrance. It will go great with a dark velvety dress, deep red lipstick and Manolo heels. Fragile is a wonderful fragrance for those of you wanting a special fragrance on a special night out. Mature, classy and not an overly popular fragrance, which is a big advantage. In the end which one of you wishes to smell like half of the crowd on a posh banquet night???

01. may 2011 Jellybeantree: "Fragile" was absent form the shops for a while, then it got back but, for example, the EDP version is now in different box (more simple), i don ́t know about the fragrance itself, i tried the tester in shop and it smells quite the same but i am not 100% sure. UPDATE! Ladies! I have an official answer from "Parfums Jean Paul Gaultier" stating that the formula of "Fragile" hasn ́t been changed, only packaging. So it must be as good as it was. And i also got confirmation from them that "Fragile" never existed in pure parfum concentration. So if anyone was interested, it ́s just good to know. Hope it helps.

I wore the heck out of this in my 20s. The globe design was unique and stunning. The scent was so me back then; spicy, delicious and captivating. I has almost forgotten about this perfume until I saw the picture and a warm fuzzy feeling welled up within me. Oh, those good old days of perfumes being perfumes that make a statement. I am not surprised to discover that this perfume was created by Francis K. It’s seems he is a perfumer that speaks my scent language and I vibe with a lot of the perfumes he has created long before I even knew who he really was. Great job FK. Miss you Fragile 💋.

I wore this a lot when it first came out and just resently I got my hand on a partially used bottle to se if I still would love it as much as I did when I was young. The juice has darkened a bit but the scent is still as i remember it. The opening is strong - a bit to strong for my taste - but the dry down is everything as beautifull as i recall. Elegant, sexy, classy. A perfect evening scent. Lots of tuberose with a spicy, creamy dry down that's a bit dark and smoky. I get both the ginger, cinnamon and vanilla. It's vintage and mature, but not dated at all.

Its glorious. The bottle is beautiful of course but the scent itself manages to capture all the fleshiness of tuberose but surrounding it by this beautiful, delicate cloud of orange blossom, jasmine, ylang, rose, carnation and other flowers with hints of spices (coriander and anise) to keep it bright and interesting. This is a truly beautiful perfume. I wish I had appreciated it more when it first came out but I had not grown into tuberose yet to fully appreciate it. Now this beauty has become difficult to find, dancing delicately in its gold flecked world..

Oh wow!!! This has the most beautiful dry down of any fragrance I've ever used. Simply gorgeous. I keep getting delicious wafts of it all day. I really didn't think I would like this because the opening was so strong and I'm not a tuberose fan, but within a half hour it changed and turned wonderful. I only have a mini of this but would like a bigger one. I could do without the cute bottle. I find it difficult to use. Anyone know if they ever sold the edp of this fragrance in a plain bottle? I would like to get a big bottle of this.

Oh I love this scent. My bottle of the EDP is many years old now, but still smells as rich and intoxicating as ever. It's one of those scents you need to apply conservatively. Well, I love tuberose so much that I even love scents that don't do a good enough job with tuberose. To me though, Fragile is freaking awesome. I wonder if they still refill the old snow globes? Yeah, it's kitschy. The scent is almost kitschy too though, like a Christmas tree covered in tinsel with a picture of Peggy Lee on top.

It was quite a surprise to me. I expected deep, dark rose, and instead I got bright, fresh, dewy and spicy rose. Very unique and unlike all rose perfumes I have. It could be definitely worn for a night out in warmer weather, beacuse it has great sillage but not heavy and oppressive. The bottle looks gorgeous to look at, but to use- is a real disaster. You have to aim and hope at the same time that the spary will sray and not squirt. Overall beautiful and very elegant perfume.

To me, this smells like a walk in the autumn; the scent of crunching through a sidewalk of orange and brown dried maple leaves. The opening smells like orange blossom and tuberose, but after that, just fall foliage with ginger. I love it. I don't think it smells anything like Classique, which is powdery makeup vanilla leather on me whenever I've worn it. But I don't own Classique so I'm curious to test it again to see the connection others smell.

I have a whole collection of this --- lucky me i guess i loved it so much and heard they were going to phase it out i bought a whole bunch from a fragrance store that was closing --- used up two or three bottles maybe have two or three left plus the oils --- not bragging but am glad i bought them coz it smelled so good -- it is my signature perfume --- love the snow globe too --- its time to open the next bottle --- sigh !

well i have this... it smells like tuberose..some don't like it because they find it strong.. i should say it comes off strong which to me is a positive feature of it and no it doesn't smell bad at all... it can be if you bathe in it but used sparingly creates a very good wisp of florals... a little goes a long way... it also seems to come off a bit like the classic tabu but in a more refined and clean scent

wow! I blind bought this on Ebay in a mini size just to have the gorgeous snow globe bottle on my vanity and to my delight this smells really good! A bit light & soapy but sweet, floral, mature, sexy, delightful. The only issue i have with this is not wanting to use it because you want to keep the little woman submerged in the bottle lol scent: 9 packaging: 10!

I have a little one and a big-ish one. Globes. Vintage style tuberose. If you like vintage scents and dark, sophisticated scents, reminiscent of aldehydic fragrances of earlier decades, you may like this. It brings a depth to tuberose. Yet again there are 'similar scents' listed which are nothing like this. Lady Million is light years away from this.

Being a bit of a bottle freak, I had to have this one. But the contents is sooo yummy, also slightly bitter! I love it! There is a minty note lingering at the end, it's probably the anise. It brings a certain freshness to the whole, and makes it also suitable for day use. However, using it is a dilemma since the bottle looks much better full...
