Jean Paul Gaultier La Favorite ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 21 July 2026 9 Comments

Jean Paul Gaultier will launch La Favorite, a new floriental fragrance for women.

Jean Paul Gaultier has found his female alter ego. Bold and ready to make a splash, she embodies the Gaultier spirit in its purest form: La Favorite. She moves forward without asking permission. Without limits.

***

Benzoin leaves its mark, Queen of the Night vibrates on the skin, and tonka bean prolongs the enchantment.*

Additional notes include jasmine, rose and vanilla.

Jean Paul Gaultier La Favorite will be available in 10, 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum and in a 200 ml refill.

    Looks a lot like the Fragile bottle.

        I’m not mad at it. It makes me miss the Fragile perfume. I wore that a lot when it was released. I was so sad when it was discontinued. It was way ahead of it’s time along with Issey Miyake’s Le Feu (another gem).

          Neither am I, I think Fragile was a very pretty bottle. It’s one of those perfumes that you feel bad hiding it away in the closet and want to display on your vanity or on a shelf!

            I very much agree. Do you remember that the perfume turned dark red, when it got older? I think it might have been the Tuberose and Gardenia that did it.

      Yes, it is meant to be a nod to Fragile.

    This is like a revamped bottle of JPG Fragile!

    It does indeed look like Fragile. We can only hope that is also has sparkling “snow”.
