Gaultier Divine Le Parfum is the eau de parfum intense launched in 2024 by Jean Paul Gaultier, a year after Gaultier Divine. The house describes the accord in three stages: a salty note in the opening, a floral bouquet of lily and frangipani, and a base of benzoin that carries the amber facet. The conical corset bottle is dressed in ribbed gold metal and comes as a refill in its 50 ml and 100 ml sizes.
An accord rather than a tiered structure
The house does not break down Gaultier Divine Le Parfum into three fully detailed tiers: it publishes a salty note in the top, a floral bouquet in the heart and benzoin in the base.
The salty note
The house places a salty note in the opening, without specifying its exact composition or the molecule used.
The floral bouquet
The heart is a floral bouquet that the house sums up, in its presentation text, as a spectacular lily and a luminous frangipani.
The benzoin
The base chosen by the house comes down to a single name, benzoin, a resin the brand associates with the amber facet of the composition.
What the label declares
The label names linalool, geraniol, eugenol and alpha-isomethyl ionone, markers of a floral accord. Coumarin confirms the amber-gourmand facet evoked by the house. Citral and limonene also appear in the list, without a corresponding citrus note in the accord published by the brand. Benzyl benzoate and benzyl alcohol support the resinous longevity, and the presence of butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, a UV filter, as well as four colorants (CI 19140, CI 14700, CI 42090, CI 60730), accounts for the juice’s tint, information absent from the brand’s discourse.
What is left out
Pink pepper, bergamot, marine note and amber, long attributed to Divine Le Parfum, do not appear among the notes published by the house.
