Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Eau Fraîche Gaultier Airlines puts a cooling, solar spin on the original amber-floral DNA. It opens with an icy, sugary lemon sorbet and sharp ginger before settling into a warm tropical base of tiare flower and vanilla. It is a sweet, breezy option for casual warm-weather wear.
