Quentin Bisch, Christophe Raynaud and Natalie Cetto took as their starting point a fragrance that would be a true reflection of everything that Jean Paul Gaultier is. A very modern woody oriental.

As the starting point they took a knock-out freshness, sage and the full-fruit mandarin, pulp and seeds included. Thats the head. Next, they brought in an uppercut contact with an overdose of totally addictive tonka bean, to create a truly delectable skin note. Thats the heart. Finally, they summoned into the ring a sensual vetiver to introduce the vibrant force of freshly cut wood. Thats the base. In all these points of delicious tension, a fragrance that boxes in all categories.

The bottle: Almost a self-portrait, it says so much about our boxer. Luxurious, a significant weight in the hand, imposing, clear, and like a boxing ring, not square. Its the deciding scene where anything could happen and the matches will go on for several rounds because, of course its refillable! The lid is our champions crown, and there is nothing traditional about this king: who has the cheeky excess of a Freddie Mercury. Un-pining this bottle every morning is quite tempting. Perfect to hold, like a talisman. Hes got some luck this King of the Ring!

The case: A box for boxing. Red velvet, but you could say crimson, bordeaux, ruby, garnet. Red is the thrust and speaks to lust. Just stroking it sends you crazy. The hand is placed above, for full, immediate contact. Live and direct to the senses. The crown is engraved, like a seal of victory, a most royal hook. This box tells a story.
