Gaultier Divine
Gaultier Divine Eau de Parfum is a new expression from the fragrance brand created by Jean Paul Gaultier in 1993, the same year as the release of the house’s first fragrance – Classique.
The latest scent is an olfactory ode to women who free themselves from social norms.
Gaultier has always been known as a designer who celebrates the essence of modern femininity. Since launching his collection in 1976, he consistently had a passion for designing for women.
Crafted by Quentin Bisch, the floral gourmand scent features a floral accord with lily flower, contrasted with a salty note and a gourmand accord with meringue. The juice is made using over 90% natural origin, ethically sourced ingredients and is vegan and cruelty-free.
Gaultier Divine Eau de Parfum is presented in a refillable bottle in the shape of a golden corset which is inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier’s signature couture creations. Depicting the image of the female body, the bottle features a golden silhouette with its curves.
Aside from Shahidi, the campaign also stars Lola Rodriquez, Thando Hopa, Tess McMillan, Janet Jumbo and Ana Elisa de Brito. ✈
