Gaultier Divine Jean Paul Gaultier 2023

I'm sorry, dear Divine, that you came off so badly in my first review. As I now have a completely different opinion of you, I have deleted my old review and am now writing a new one.

As already mentioned, you didn't come off well at first. I described you as flat and trivial, and that, dear Divine, does not do you justice.
I tested the fragrance back then with very high expectations, and that was a mistake. You should probably never have too high expectations when testing, because that usually leads to disappointment. I was so excited about your (only very faintly present) salt note, and when it wasn't what I had imagined, the fragrance was labeled as not good. I know, dear ones, that's not fair.
But a dear friend gave me a small 30ml fragrance as a gift and I now had the opportunity to test it more thoroughly. And how can I put it another way - I really like the fragrance. It is extraordinary, probably due to the interplay of lily, salt and meringue. It is round, harmonious, sweetly floral and very sensual.
I would no longer describe it as flat and interchangeable. It really smells too extraordinary for that. I also couldn't think of an occasion where the fragrance wouldn't be suitable. Okay - I probably wouldn't wear it to an important court hearing, but otherwise it always works and is therefore also suitable for a signature. However, you should like floral fragrances - especially white flowers - otherwise the fragrance is probably not for you, as it is very strongly based on white flowers to my nose. Meringue and the salty notes are more of an accessory. Although very well interwoven, they are not as noticeable as the white flowers.
Sillage and longevity are very strong, there is really nothing to complain about. The fragrance is perceptible for a good 8 hours.
What you could criticize is that the fragrance is fully synthetic, and you can smell that. Personally, this doesn't bother me at all, but I know that there are many people who don't like it that much.
Overall, I find the fragrance quite original and easy to wear. I hope it stays on the market for some time now that I have admittedly fallen in love with it a little :-)
