Oh, patents! Jean Paul Gaultier double flask

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The Gaultier2 perfume for men and women was launched in 2005, as a unisex perfume. The perfume was created by Francis Kurkidjan, the perfumer who had also created the immensely popular Jean Paul Gaultier Le mâle perfume. The Gaultier2 perfume has musk, vanilla, and amber notes, with hints of sandalwood and jasmine.

In 2023, the Gaultier2 perfume made a comeback by popular demand, following an online survey with customers. The comeback was orchestrated around the desire to bring back the lingering pleasure of memories associated with the Gaultierfragrances.

The design of the Gaultier2 perfume bottle was also squared, enabling the perfume to be contained in two separate bottles, connected together with magnets. The double flask design was patented in the US design patent USD593875S, titled Double flask. The patent was granted to Jean Paul Gaultier on June 9th, 2009.
