In 1993, Jean Paul Gaultier, the famous French couturier, launched his first Classique line of perfume celebrating women’s fashion. The Classique Jean Paul Gaultier perfume was contained in a corseted atomizer bottle, in the shape of a woman’s fashion dress form. Just a few years earlier, in 1990, Jean Paul Gaultier had designed Madonna’s costumes, and especially the famous cone-shaped corset, for her Blond Ambition World Tour. To date, in 2024, dozens of different Jean Paul Gaultier female perfumes have been created for the iconic, corseted, dress form bottle.
The Classique Jean Paul Gaultier perfume was created by the renown, fourth generation, French perfumer, Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. The oriental floral perfume has orange blossom, anise and rose, with pear and bergamot top notes; ginger, ylang-ylang, tuberose and plum middle notes; and vanilla, amber, musk, cinnamon and sandalwood base notes.
The US design patent, USD349848, titled Bottle, was awarded to Jean Paul Gaultier, on August 23, 1994. Below, the patent Figure 1, showing a front perspective view of the corseted, dress form bottle, together with an image of the marketed Classique Jean Paul Gaultier perfume bottle.
