Jean Paul Gaultier I Love Gaultier
Jean Paul Gaultier I Love Gaultier, Eau Fraiche, $182.

Jean Paul Gaultier I Love Gaultier Le Male Eau Fraiche, $144.
If you like the scent of freshly washed linen, (who doesn't) this is exactly what you can expect from the new limited edition of Le Male. Once blended with neroli flower, mint and sage - it's a freshness overload. A few hours later, the warmth comes from the mix of tonka bean, sandalwood and vanilla.
