What does Classique Summer Fragrance 2009 smell like?

It opens with orange blossom, lemon zest and clementine for a bright citrus lift, softened by star anise and rose. The heart turns floral with iris, jasmine and ylang-ylang, while ginger adds a gentle warmth. Amber and vanilla in the base sweeten it and leave a creamy, powdery finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays soft and close to the skin. As its name suggests, it suits summer days, fresh but never losing its sweetness. It has been discontinued. Jean Paul Gaultier Classique (Eau de Toilette) and Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Summer Fragrance 2008 have a close profile.
