Classique Essence de Parfum 
Jean Paul Gaultier (2016)

What is it like to be a mysterious, slightly dangerous and utterly alluring creature from another world? you are bound to find out quickly when you go out wearing classique essense absolue by JPG.

A fusion of sensual, floral notes enriched with the deep and mysterious notes of ginger, cashmeran wood and the irresistible warm sensuality of vanilla and benzoin. Irresistibly yummy, enigmatic fragrance that always nets you compliments and positive inquiries. It screams of your presence and demands attention.

It is softer, friendlier, more cozy-creamy than the original. This vanilla, cream, benzoin fusion has a gourmand note that will please lovers across the board more than an exotic spicy accord can. The jasmine in EDP is intertwined beautifully with the other notes. It is refined, smooth, rich, sweet and sexy.

It smells heavenly in cool weather, the opening is a blast of medicinal jasmine, orange blossom that turns into a thick rich creamy vanilla and benzoin, warm, sweet and so yummy (more like a homemade cake cooked with love than a random sugary candy). Vanilla is the star of Classique Essence EDP, but this is a very adult, boozy vanilla that is more fragrant than edible. The dry down similar to Hypnotic Poison's, but HP is more akin to root beer float with vanilla ice cream on top, closer to vanilla marzipan pie. This makes the essence of modest femininity and subdued sensuality in a bottle, and it is sure to stay on your mind all day long.

It makes me think of a wedding where there is a blush colored bridal gown of tulle or taffeta. She is perfectly coiffed and expresses a bit of vintage charm with her classic hair, makeup and accessories. The scent is truly lovely and versatile you can wear this day or evening happy or sad cold or hot. If you don't like heavy scents you may not like this.
