Jean Paul Gaultier – Classique Wonder Woman Eau Fraiche Spray

Confession – I blind bought this fragrance for the bottle.  I’m not a huge DC Comics fan but the lure of reliving the old Wonder Woman series was just too hard to resist.  The bottle is completely awesome and the notes seemed like they’d be something I’d enjoy; perhaps the perfect freshy for Summer?

This flanker of Classique opens with a delicious lemon sorbet ginger note.  It’s sweetened enough by the sugar cane that it reminds me of sitting on a balcony at a seaside resort enjoying a delicious lemon sorbet with a gingersnap cookie garnish while the breeze gently blows.  It’s a light a refreshing accord.  The white florals come in at a moderate perceptibility and are a pleasant addition.  The remaining notes are virtually absent.

Classique comes on strong at its opening and very quickly fades to a skin scent.  It begins beautifully as a fresh Summer juice and then somehow gets lost.  I expected a bold Amazonian with Wonder Woman and Classique just simply did not deliver.  Certainly though, this is a pleasant scent with a wear time of a few hours (so be prepared to respray).

Notes:  lemon sorbet, ginger, sugar cane juice, Tiare flower, jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla, musk, and net-labdanum
