The Story
Classique is a bold, sensual floral that defined the 90s. The EDT opens with a sparkling burst of orange blossom and mandarin, then settles into a creamy heart of rose and ylang-ylang. The base is warm and powdery with vanilla, amber, and musk. It's a confident, playful scent that still feels modern today.
