More about Jean Paul Gaultier La Favorite
La Favorite by Jean Paul Gaultier is a floral amber fragrance for women, launched in 2026. Created by perfumers Amelie Jacquin and Quentin Bisch, the scent is built around the contrast between the intoxicating Queen of the Night flower and warm, resinous benzoin, combining a nocturnal floral character with soft ambery facets. Sparkling tonka bean opens the composition, a lush heart of jasmine sambac, rose and ylang-ylang unfolds, and a sensual base of Virginia cedar, vanilla and white musk lingers on the skin. La Favorite is an elegant, seductive floral amber for evening wear.
