Classique
Jacques Cavallier composed Jean Paul Gaultier Classique around Tonka Bean, and it shows the longer you wear it.

How it moves
It arrives on orange blossom, rose, star anise and mandarin orange — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. By the half hour it has become ginger, orchid, ylang-ylang, cinnamon and iris. The base is vanilla, amber, musk, sandalwood and Tonka Bean. That is the bit on your scarf the next morning.
Who made it
Jacques Cavallier composed it in 1993, for Jean Paul Gaultier in France. Gaultier's debut feminine in a corseted torso bottle, a powdery orange-blossom and vanilla oriental that became a nineties signature.
