Signature Scent worthy
I've been really into perfume for a little over a year now, so much so that I call it a "hobby" or passion. My activity on this platform also goes hand in hand with this. Today I finally did it. I have populated the "Signature Scent" section on my profile page.
And as you can probably guess, it's Gaultier² (2022). Why is that? I'll explain that to you! In the meantime, a steadily growing number of fragrances have found their way into the collection. But I always reach for Gaultier2. It always works. Many fragrances remind me of other fragrances in whole or in part. I haven't smelled Gaultier2 like this anywhere else; the fragrance is unique to me (unfortunately, I don't know the original; I don't have to, as I like this one as it is).
It can be worn anywhere and at any time, is not too loud, not too quiet, does not offend. In short, it's an "all-rounder" when you can't make up your mind, don't want to think or don't feel like doing anything else; at any time of day or year.
I can't really describe the fragrance. For me, it's more of a composition than individual notes that I perceive. A sweet, floral, soft creaminess that caresses you cleanly. Linear, without any major changes over time. I notice the fragrance for a really long time, even on my clothes the next day. It is a little louder in the first few hours, but not a beast. After that, it gently envelops you. And I don't really like floral fragrances, but here they are composed to perfection. It just makes me feel good when I wear it.
The only thing that bothers me is that it is (more or less) a limited edition and only available directly from JPG, which of course triggers FOMO. I already have a bunker bottle on backup, but I think I'm leaning towards another bottle if I can get it for a good price here in the souk. The maturing time by letting it stand is also quite good for it. My first usable bottle is from spring '23 and has matured nicely in the meantime.
I'm curious to see whether I'll be able to sniff any more fragrances like this as my journey of discovery continues. Because many are great, only a few are really brilliant.

However, for me - contrary to the opinion of almost everyone here - it's not a winter fragrance, but a spring and summer fragrance.
I will definitely buy at least 1 spare bottle. The set of 3 on the jpg page at the moment really appeals to me...
