The trio of fig leaf (top), fig (heart), and fig wood (base) definitely ensures that you can't escape the fig in this perfume. Here, the fig is rather pure, to say the least, a rather average fig. There are no great sidekicks to help the fig a...

Read review →For this comment, I need to refer to two other fragrances from the house of Jean Paul Gaultier: On one side: Gaultier². I found it to be a pretty crazy creation right from its release. A fragrance made up of just three components (amber, musk, vanilla), and all of them very warm. Very simple, very moving. Why look far...
