La Belle Fleur Terrible, the new fragrance from Jean-Paul Gaultier. In 1993, Jean-Paul Gaultier created a first feminine perfume named Le Classique. Two years later, he brought out its masculine counterpart: Le Mâle. Since then, the designer has developed many other fragrances.
Recall that in 1993, Jean-Paul Gaultier gave life to a feminine perfume named Le Classique. More than 10 years after its release, the story continues and Jean-Paul Gaultier imagines a brand-new juice named La Belle Fleur Terrible. As if straight out of a fairy tale, this juice takes us toward an earthly paradise. If this aspect is felt in its aquatic, floral and sun-kissed breath, it emerges even more fully from its bottle... So, how about taking a closer look at all the elements of its bottle and packaging?
A bust-shaped bottle, a great Jean-Paul Gaultier classic
La Belle Fleur Terrible belongs to the great Jean-Paul Gaultier family, and this is noticeable from the very sight of its bottle. Indeed, it resembles its predecessors. It is designed as a glass bust, masterful and ideally proportioned. Note, however, that the bust of La Belle Fleur Terrible by Jean-Paul Gaultier has more angular shapes than before. Indeed, it was completely redesigned in 2019, after Jean-Paul Gaultier's acquisition by the Spanish group Puig. More modern than before, it remains just as alluring and seductive. It embodies a sexy fantasy and an idealized muse.
The tin can, another form inseparable from the Jean-Paul Gaultier house
La Belle Fleur Terrible by Jean-Paul Gaultier is also presented in another element inseparable from the Jean-Paul Gaultier brand. Indeed, its packaging is not a rectangular cardboard box. It is a repurposed and beautifully decorated tin can. This unconventional shape alone embodies all of Jean-Paul Gaultier's self-mockery. What is more, it has also become, over time, one of the house's signature trademarks.
The highly exotic elements of La Belle Fleur Terrible by Jean-Paul Gaultier
La Belle Fleur Terrible by Jean-Paul Gaultier is decorated all around with exotic, fairy-tale elements. Against a turquoise blue background stand out not only generous flowers but also a flurry of butterflies as well as birds of paradise. Likewise, these are also the elements found on the majestic necklace worn by this glass bottle. This turquoise blue bust is completely undressed, except for a necklace of roses and feathers. Despite its nudity, it retains a very elegant, very couture side.
La Belle Fleur Terrible, a style inspired by a Jean-Paul Gaultier ready-to-wear collection
Finally, because Jean-Paul Gaultier never forgets to draw a link between his fashion sector and that of perfumery, the bottle of La Belle Fleur Terrible is directly inspired by one of his ethnic and cosmopolitan ready-to-wear collections, conceived in 2010-2011.
As for size, La Belle Fleur Terrible by Jean-Paul Gaultier is a feminine perfume presented in a single 100 ml spray bottle.
