Jean Paul Gaultier
La Favorite
La Favorite is released in 2026 by Jean Paul Gaultier, carried by the floral richness of Queen of the night and the intense floral character of Sambac jasmine. Amélie Jacquin and Quentin Bisch place the caramel of Benzoin at the heart, and the sensuality of White musks at the base.

Where to buy
Jean Paul Gaultier had not launched a major feminine fragrance since Scandal: ten years separate the two. La Favorite opens a pillar, at a time when the house enters a new creative era under the direction of Duran Lantink.
The name carries its historical weight: at the court of France, the favorite designated the king's official mistress. The connection is far from coincidental, the couture presented in Paris referencing Marie-Antoinette and the art of occupying space.
The composition is signed Amélie Jacquin and Quentin Bisch, both perfumers at Givaudan.

The advertising
An effigy on a podium
Ella McCutcheon embodies La Favorite in an offbeat Paris, surrounded by Gigi Goode and Lyas.
The campaign installs the model Ella McCutcheon, already featured in the house's runway shows, as an effigy on a podium, in an offbeat Paris.
She does not appear alone: Gigi Goode and Lyas surround her, chosen from among the house's inner circle. The stated approach favors a group over a single face.
