About This Perfume
La Favorite by Jean Paul Gaultier is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. This is a new fragrance. La Favorite was launched in 2026. La Favorite was created by Amelie Jacquin and Quentin Bisch. Top notes are Ylang Ylang, Cinnamon, Bitter Orange, Bergamot and Lemon Peel; middle notes are Queen of the Night Flower, Jasmine, Rose, Juniper and Geranium; base notes are Benzoin, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, White Musk and Virginian Cedar. Created by perfumers Amélie Jacquin and Quentin Bisch, La Favorite unfolds like an encounter whose ending is already known: you know it will never be well-behaved. That is exactly what Queen of the Night does. A rare white flower that reveals its fragrance only after sunset. It does not seek to be seen by everyone. It blooms far from the restraint of daylight, unveiling its scent only when night falls. Then comes benzoin. It gives La Favorite its depth, warmth, and trail. Long associated with more traditionally masculine territories, it blurs boundaries here. Like La Favorite, it prefers to reinvent them. And then comes tonka bean. It leaves behind a softness. An indulgence. Hints of vanilla that settle into memory and stay there. Its bottle references the house's earlier Fragile perfume through a stylised female silhouette. Available as 10ml, 30ml, 50ml and 100ml; as a refill and body cream too.

The Brand

Jean Paul Gaultier

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.
