To say Jean Paul Gautier is a legend would be an understatement. The famed French fashion designer has always pushed the limits of fashion via sculptured silhouettes and one-of-a-kind artistry. And, get this, he’s never been formally trained. The same can be said for his fashion house’s fragrances. (We love when iconic designersdabble in scent.)
Jean Paul Gautier launched its first fragrance (we’ll share the inaugural scent later) in 1993, and since then, the brand has gone on to launch additional scents that have earned beloved followings. And not surprisingly, each perfume is housed in a bottle as a visual display for fashion, fun, and individuality. Keep scrolling for the all-time-best Jean Paul Gautier perfumes we highly recommend.
