Where to buy
Jean Paul Gaultier began his career at 18, joining the Pierre Cardin fashion house. Ma Dame marks Jean Paul Gaultier's return to the olfactory scene, 15 years after Classique. Because Jean Paul Gaultier creates his fragrances like second skins, Ma Dame carries a strong personality.
The return of Jean Paul Gaultier's creative style
Since Classique, his first feminine fragrance, Jean Paul Gaultier had not made much noise in feminine perfumery. In 1999, he created Fragile, which did not meet with the expected success. With Ma Dame, he returns to the forefront of the olfactory scene. Very glamorous, Ma Dame is an ode to rock and lightness. With Ma Dame, Jean Paul Gaultier reconnects with the provocative-tinged creative style of his early days, the one that made him successful around the world. Easy to wear, Ma Dame is a fragrance whose box is meant to be torn open, and it is also a nod to the clothing of its face of the campaign, British model Agyness Deyn. The advertising for Ma Dame reuses a song by the band Indochine from the 1980s, 3ème sexe... A girl in the masculine, a boy in the feminine...
The intense, fresh notes of Ma Dame
Ma Dame is defined as a fragrance of lightness and youth. Its rock-inspired edge, however, translates into very intense notes. Ma Dame opens with the fresh, sweet notes of grenadine and blood orange. The heart of Ma Dame then develops toward floral notes and velvety rose notes, very intense. The ultra sensual base develops into an “overdose” of white musks paired with cedarwood. As for the bottle, it is a true fashion accessory, designed to always be carried on the person. The nomadic spray bottle is fitted with a bust-shaped strap that unclips and can be worn as a bracelet. The latter is made of silver metallic faux leather. On the box, which is meant to be torn open, the fragrance's name is written in capital letters like a tag. An ultra design bottle.
Forbidden to Ladies... This is Jean Paul Gaultier's slogan for his fragrance Ma Dame. Since Le Classique, female fans had been waiting for a new nectar. That has now happened, and it lives up to their expectations. With Ma Dame, Jean Paul Gaultier reconnects with his provocative style. Between intensity and lightness, Ma Dame is an ultra modern composition, true to its bottle.
