Jean Paul Gaultier: Ma dame, Eau de Toilette

Like every other Christmas; this year I received lots of different perfumes from family and friends as gifts. As most people know I love my perfumes and have a very large collection of them which is forever growing. My favourite perfumes are those by Jean Paul Gaultier as they all have very sweet and feminine scents which seem to linger on my skin for hours upon end. One of the best things about the Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes is the packaging and bottle designs as they are really decorative and sometimes quite unusual compared to some of the other scents on the market. Knowing my love for Jean Paul Gaultier perfumes especially Classique; my husband treated me to a large ...  Read the complete review

This is my second favourite perfume after Jean-Paul gaultier classique. Its a lovely fresh, floral perfume, very summery it reminds me a little of Escada in the orange and red bottle. I work with about forty women and when I wear this perfume at work I get so many comments like you smell gorgeous what are you wearing. It is such a smooth perfume you can spray on as much as you want without choking everyone and it lasts all day. I have quite a sensitive nose and can't stand musks and things that burn your nose this like classique is so smooth and sexy I see it as the day perfume that compliments the classique which very much an evening perfume. It smells fantastic when ...  Read the complete review

Launched: 2008 Group: floral :: Introduction :: I received Ma Dame as a Chrismas gift in Mauritius where my partner and I spent our winter holiday in the sun, sand and sea. I also own Classique EDP, so I was very pleased having the last addition to the 'Classique' series but did the fragrance live up to itself? :: The packaging :: The bottle is definitely modern, girly and less sophisticated than its big sister, Classique. Engraved in the clear, pink-tinged rectangular we find the famous 'Classique' figure of a female torso with Gaultier's signature handwriting underneath. :: The fragrance :: Top ...  Read the complete review

I recently received a free sample of this whilst passing through Debenhams. I am not one for normally going out of my way to buy perfumes as I tend to just stick with what I know I like and just buy these again and again when I start to run low. So how did this new scent stand against my good old reliables? The bottle: Well obviously the sample I had was a little plastic sample thing but, the bottle the Eau De Toilette comes in is clear with a slight pink tinge to it and is quite a wide rectangle shape. It has the normal female Jean Paul Gaultier bottle emblazoned on the front of the normal perfume along with the signature underneath that. The ...  Read the complete review
