About This Perfume
Think sunlit orange blossom powder, soft lemon sparkle: that is Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile Eau de Toilette. It opens with mandarin orange, lemon and orange, moves into tuberose and settles on musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2001.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?

Jean Paul Gaultier launched fragrance with Classique in 1993 and Le Male in 1995; the house has since built one of the strongest designer-gourmand catalogues, currently anchored by the Scandal and Le Male families. Scendira lists 208 JPG fragrances with 34 in stock, priced $35 to $207. The catalogue leans gourmand-feminine on average (the Classique / La Belle side outnumbers Le Male in SKU count). Community top five in stock: Scandal Pour Homme Absolu (chestnut caramel sandalwood, 2024), Scandal Pour Homme Le Parfum (geranium tonka sandalwood, 2022), Le Beau Paradise Garden (mint ginger coconut fig, 2024), Scandal Pour Homme (caramel latte vetiver, 2021) and Le Male Essence de Parfum (leather cardamom vanilla, 2016). Le Male in its EDT form remains the historical anchor, a mint-vanilla-lavender that defined 90s masculine gourmand. Bottles are the sculpted torso and bust icons.
