Oh and I forgot to say, I could bite me for stupidity because last year in the winter I went on a weekend break to a town in the north of the country near the beach and I found a place that sold jewelry and was a perfumery before and still had perfumes. They had the discontinued Classique the Essence for not so expensive and I didn't get it... regreted so much. It was so beautiful. It will be a lucky if I could find it again. If a bottle cross my way again I will grab it! Big hug
That’s so interesting! If I recall correctly, I think I tried that one years ago. It reminded me of Alien. It was in the La Belle bottle, but called Classique Essence.🙂
Fantastic review of this beauty. The near empty bottle sitting next to the nearly full bottle looks stunning. 😍 I was gifted this when I graduated high school and started cosmetology school in 1994. I moved into my first apartment with a this and it conjures up many, many fond memories. I would love to smell it again and I’m glad to hear you approve of the current formulation. My SOTD is Style by Jill Sanders.
Hi there! I got the nearly empty bottle for free when I purchased the other one. I love that! My mum also says that it smells like the 90s. Thanks for sharing!🙂
Back in the 90's I wore YSL's Champagne, Prescriptive's Calyx, Chanel's Cristalle, and Givenchy's Amarige (I still have backup bottles for each and everyone of them). Somehow I did not gravitate toward this one, but I know I would love it now. Will be looking for a vintage one on eBay. Thanks Luke!
Back to the 90 and the early 2000 Like Dune , Cinema, Pure poison Chanel coco , Organza .The new scents are agressive hyped frangrance have to be with an god energy .The scent of the day Chanel eau premiere .Greetings from Croatia ❤
Hello my darling Luke. Thank you so much for your videos. They are so well prepared and tought. Classique is so underrated nowadays. It's in my opinion the most glorious ambery, vanillic orange blossom perfume. I remember perfectly when it came out, it was absolutely groundbreaking! The bottle was inspired by Gaultier's friend Madonna who at the time was in her peak of fame. The scent is so opulent, theatrical, so bewitching. It resembles in the profile Loulou from Cacharel. Not that they are similar, not even close, but the magic of a fantasy, a pretend, a play at the stage. I find the purpose similar, not the scents. Currently I don't have it in my collection but might get it. In fact you mentioned Safanad and I've been curious to try it because it resembles Classique. My husband wears also since the begining Le Male and I adore it on him. He's finishing his bottle. I might get the 2 😊 My scent of the day for work was a dupe of Soleil Blanc by Tom Ford then when I arrived home after a shower I put Diamonds and Emeralds by Elizabeth Taylor. A big kiss my dear
Dear Ana, your comments always make me happy!🧡 You’re exactly right, Gaultier designed so many of Madonna’s iconic costumes that she wore while performing on stage. I won’t say anything else about Madonna!😂 I agree with the comparison to Lou Lou. Both are “theatrical” and artificial, Lou Lou even plasticky. Safanad bears a close resemblance to Classique in my opinion; it’s easy to like. Soleil Blanc is gorgeous! I also own a dupe oil. It’s quite enough for me. Enjoy your evening!🧡
It is! It didn’t look as dark in the pictures. My previous bottle was pretty dark but not quite as dark. I must add that neither bottle has gone off or lost any top notes. Good quality fragrances age like fine wine.🙂
@@lukeparfums In The Netherlands only 2 websites sell it and they have limited stock. Do you have a PO Box because i'd love to order 1 and gift you a bottle❤ It usually takes a couple of weeks to arrive when i order but it doesnt matter
Really? That’s so incredibly kind of you! I don’t have a post office box, but I’d be happy to share my address with you if you send me an email or a private message on Instagram. Thank you so much!😍🧡
A signature for me through much of the early 2000's. I am sad to say the newest formulation is a watered down mess with no depth (to my nose anyway), so vintage bottles are to be treasured. I recently purchased Sultan Or, a nice cheapie, which smells like a mix of vintage Classique and Lancome's Poeme.
Hi there! If I had been old enough back then, this would probably have been my signature scent too. I tested it in-store, and it wasn’t watered down, but I suspect it was an old tester. I must repurchase Poême soon. Thanks for watching!
Hi there! We were talking about Pure White Linen before, weren’t we? The best ones always get discontinued.😕I also have a sample of J’Adore Infinissime. It reminds me of L’Interdit. Thanks for watching!🙂
Hi Luke!😊 My first scent of the day was Kayali Eden Juicy Apple. When it’s done living its life, I’ll spray Classique. I have a decant of the newest formulation. I love it! I find it very cozy and comforting. I’m sure that wasn’t the original intention of the fragrance, but that’s what it is to me. I agree with your sentiments on the Eilish and KKW bottles. They are tacky in comparison to JPG bottles. Thank you for another great video. You never, ever disappoint. 💛💛💛
Hi Leah! The current formulation is still amazing. The one that I sprayed in store lasted 16 hours on me. Tacky is the right word, yes!😂 Thank you Leah!🙂🧡

You're tempting me to grab a vintage bottle on ebay! It sounds right up my alley...keep up the good work!
Thank you! If you see one for a good price, definitely consider getting it.🙂 Thanks for watching!

Hi there! What a list, so many classic beauties. I think you’d enjoy Classique!🙂 Thanks for stopping by!🙂

I really love the EDT. I have a little mini that I keep by my bed so I can sniff it. 😂
Hi Claire! I wish I’d thought of that. I have a lot of minis that need to be put to good use.😊
The darkened colour looks absolutely amazing!😍😍😍 I went through so many bottles
It is! It didn’t look as dark in the pictures. My previous bottle was pretty dark but not quite as dark. I must add that neither bottle has gone off or lost any top notes. Good quality fragrances age like fine wine.🙂
@@lukeparfums Omg i can only imagine how they must smell 💖 I love these videos so so much Luke, thank you so much for your work💖
It’s my pleasure! Thank you so much for your support, H.A.🙂💖
This was my daily for much of the 2000s. ❤
Thanks for sharing!🙂🧡 Do you still enjoy it?
I have J.P.G. Classique and Classique Essence that I like very much. 🥰 Scent of the day was Zadig & voltaire this is her.
Classique Essence is beautiful as well. I’m so sad I missed out on it. Thanks for watching.🙂🧡
Scent of the day was Elizabeth Taylor Gardenia and scent of the evening is Red by Giorgio BH❤
What a combo!🧡 I’ve been looking for Gardenia. It seems to be hard to find.

SOTD Estée Lauder Pure White Linen, unfortunately discontinued. For the evening Dior J'adore Infinisseme, a sample.

@@lukeparfums We did indeed and I agree with you, the best ones are disconinued!
I still lament the discontinuation of J’Adore L’Or.
