Classique Summer Fragrance

When shopping for something as simple as a fragrance, image may be very important for appeasing the eyes, as well as the senses. The Classique Summer Fragrance by Jean Paul Gaultier brings forth rather…interesting aspects to the fragrance industry, complete with a shapely bottle wearing a tropical print dress. This bottle is no exception.

The notes are as follows: Blackcurrant Leaves, Sicilian Mandarin, Essence of Roses, Ylang-Ylang Flowers, Iris, Orange Blossom, Lily of the Valley, Woody Amber, Vanilla Absolute, Musk.

Love It or Hate It? Gaultier Technical Tartan Trench Coat

Jean-Paul Gaultier is fashion’s enduring renegade. His latest collection, inspired by the tartans of the Highland, is certainly a love it or hate it kind of collection. Take this Gaultier Technical Tartan Trench Coat, which you can pre-order through Saks for $4135. The price is rather high for something that doesn’t exactly seem like a wardrobe staple. It reminds me of the packaging for Scotch tape actually. But I do love Gaultier’s flair for the original and unexpected. I’m undecided. What do you think?
