I had the opportunity to try an expensive luxury perfume in exchange for a review. I absolutely loved the packaging of the bottle, the details are immaculate. The scent is a mix of musk and floral notes, which I really enjoyed. A little goes a long way and the perfume is long lasting. Unfortunately, the price point for this product is very high. I think it has a unique smell that I haven't encountered from other brands before. It makes me feel very feminine and classy. It's perfect for a night out or if you want a scent that lasts for days. However, it's slightly strong, so I wouldn't recommend applying too much. I just sprayed some on my wrist and neck and it lasted for a long time.

However, it's slightly strong, so I wouldn't recommend applying too much. I just sprayed some on my wrist and neck and it lasted for a long time. I wouldn't recommend this product to those who are very sensitive to smells because it can be overpowering if too much is used. I definitely wouldn't wear it if I felt a migraine coming on as strong scents can make them worse. If the price doesn't deter you and you're looking for a long-lasting scent with floral, musky, and salty notes, then this is a perfect match. The bottle is what makes this product so special; the curves of the woman are a symbol of embracing femininity. It's not just a naked body design; it honours bodies of all shapes and sizes. Femininity enables women to have the power to be themselves freely!

Perfume is a powerful tool that evokes emotions, memories images, and what we experience is totally subjective. For me, this perfume looks like a summer day in a coastal town in the south of France. You can smell lilies and the salty sea in the background. A man flirting with a sophisticated young woman. And this perfume is how the men sees the woman: very sweet and sexy, with a touch of elegance uniqueness - given by the salty undertone. It doesn't exactly give me the idea of a confident daring woman as Gaultier describes it. Personally, I'm not a big fan of floral perfumes. I find this perfume quite heavy and even after wearing it a whole day, I can still smell it on myself (which can be quite nauseating since it don't like it). It just isn't my scent, however my ... MorePerfume is a powerful tool that evokes emotions, memories images, and what we experience is totally subjective.

It just isn't my scent, however my fiancé loves it! So I might be trying it again in the warmer months. I think this perfume is the summer equivalent of the spring-evoking J'adore by Dior, so if you like J'adore, you will also like Divine. Something that I also don't like is the packaging: the look of it is quite tacky and it doesn't fit the fragrance. Opening the box is not the easiest thing as I always worry that it's going to "pop" and make the bottle fall. All in all, it's not my thing and I find it too sweet and strong, without the depth and complexity of my other perfumes. But it is still a great perfume for someone who wants something flirty and fresh. Disclaimer: I have received this perfume from Influenster/Gaultier in exchange for my honest review.

A Lasting Scent That Encompasses It's Name!

"Divine" by Jean Paul Gaultier is a truly rare find. First of all, even the sample sizes packaging has an expensive feel to it, nevermind the full size bottle of the 1 to 3.5 ounce bottle. The actual bottle is Gaultier's perfume signature- shaped like a woman's torso, this clear bottle reveals a golden liquid that seems to almost practically glow from within it. Not only does it look like life's very essence radiating from a woman's body, but it has the very embodiment of the word, "class". It literally looks like it belongs to a goddess. I absolutely fell in love with this perfume. It smells both subtle warm and floral at the same time, hitting you with a scent of lillys and leaving you with a soft vanilla as it finally leaves you and others with a very lasting ... More"Divine" by Jean Paul Gaultier is a truly rare find.

It's a welcome addition to any lady's signature. The price point, of course,is always on the high end no matter the size since you are paying for a designer name, whether opting for the smaller 1 oz bottle (about $90 US dollars) or the 1.7 oz (expect to pay a starting point of $120 US avg). Normally, I would be inclined to take a star for price point if something is outrageous, but this is one time I just can't do it because it's such a heavenly scent and lasts about 5 hours on me that I'm not even mad about it. It's honestly THAT divine!

Airy floral freshness without being too sweet

First off I have to say how iconic the JPG bottles are, I remember seeing them in highschool and thinking it was so luxe and unique so this fragrance bottle was no exception.As with many JPG,I expected a sweet fragrance and this Divine fragrance has that signature sweet scent, except it smells grown up. Its not overly sweet as it has a beautiful floral scent as well. I find the fragrance to be quite strong so I don't ever need/want to use more than one spritz. On me, I feel like the sweetness doesn't linger too long and it fades into a sort of airy fresh floral scent. This would definitely be a summer fragrance for me because if the freshness of the florals. Also because it has a hint of sweetness,I would not prefer to use this for the colder months.The bottle ... MoreFirst off I have to say how iconic the JPG bottles are, I remember seeing them in highschool and thinking it was so luxe and unique so this fragrance bottle was no exception.As with many JPG,I expected a sweet fragrance and this Divine fragrance has that signature sweet scent, except it smells grown up.

Did JPH design this for older millenials? Haha. Overall this is a nice fragrance but not something I will likely purchase on my own because I don't typically seek out sweet florals, but for someone who's looking for a summer scent, do check this out!I got this as a gift from Influenster

Attention Getter!

I received Jean Paul Gaultier Divine Eau De Parfum for free from influenster in exchange for my honest review.First impression packaging and bottle is absolutely fabulous. A show piece! One thing I noticed on the plastic wrap is that this specific perfume seems to be refillable! The refills may not be sold everywhere so a quick Google search can help find the refills. This adds sustainably but also usually the refills in cost per fl oz usually works out a bit better for the scent itself.Now the scent has a light sweet floral feminine scent with the mildest musk. I wore this for at least a week daily before writing my review. I noticed I couldn't smell it on it half way through the day however it must have staying power because I would receive compliments where ... MoreI received Jean Paul Gaultier Divine Eau De Parfum for free from influenster in exchange for my honest review.First impression packaging and bottle is absolutely fabulous.

I noticed I couldn't smell it on it half way through the day however it must have staying power because I would receive compliments where ever I went...now I am not a "one and done sprayer" my mantra is..more is more!.. I usually spritz in the "father ,son and holy ghost, cross, pits, wrists, etc. to ensure I smell fantastic. Anyways from the compliments I can tell that A) general population likes the way I smell and frankly asks what the scent is. And B) surely it has staying power if it is noticed through out the day.Give this a try, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful Floral yet Fresh Scent

I was sent this by Influenster to share my honest review:I’m very picky about perfumes and only like subtle delicate floral or fresh/citrus notes so every time I order samples of perfumes to try, I’m disappointed like 90% of the time.I honestly didn’t have very high hopes for this because the packaging is so edgy and bold! I thought the fragrance would be a little edgy too. It’s definitely bold but only in its intensity of the specific notes. I was really pleasantly surprised!I loved the outside packaging at first, but beware, I nearly dropped it twice because you really have to tug at the cylinder base to get it out. So it’s not my favourite in the end. Also I don’t really want to keep this sensual looking bottle out for my kids and people to see, and I’m a ... MoreI was sent this by Influenster to share my honest review:I’m very picky about perfumes and only like subtle delicate floral or fresh/citrus notes so every time I order samples of perfumes to try, I’m disappointed like 90% of the time.I honestly didn’t have very high hopes for this because the packaging is so edgy and bold!

So it’s not my favourite in the end. Also I don’t really want to keep this sensual looking bottle out for my kids and people to see, and I’m a sucker for beautiful and elegant bottles so this one really didn’t do it for me.The first smell that hits me is a beautiful floral note, and then a fresh airy note. I dropped 1 star because I smell this slightly powdery note at the end and it’s one of the smells I really dislike for perfumes.My husband is in love with this smell on me and so I will keep wearing it! It’s also growing on me, I would just wear a small amount as it’s a strong scent!

Comforting & happy it surprised me

I received this sample from Influenster and Jean Paul Gaultier in exchange for my honest review. For me it was a bit overbearing at first. I sprayed it on the card and immediately thought I wasn’t going to like it. But decided to spray it on my skin. I’m really glad I did. It changed quite dramatically and no longer felt like to much. It morphed into a very subtle sent. I’ve gone back and forth so many times smelling the card and smelling my arm its really nice on the skin . It’s a bit different from what I would normally pick for myself but I think, I really like it. It’s a happy sent that feels refreshing, relaxing, comforting . I would normally choose something that was sweet, woodsy and warm. I wish the sample size was a little bit bigger. I’ve only sprayed it 2 ... MoreI received this sample from Influenster and Jean Paul Gaultier in exchange for my honest review. For me it was a bit overbearing at first.

I would normally choose something that was sweet, woodsy and warm. I wish the sample size was a little bit bigger. I’ve only sprayed it 2 times and it’s already half empty. It doesn’t seem to stay strong for very long. I think it would be nice to get to try it a little more before committing to a whole bottle. But the more I hangout with it the more I like it. It would be nice if it had a little bit more staying power in the middle range. Once it starts to fade you wouldn’t really smell it unless you were right up to spot you sprayed it on. That being said my best friend is extremely sensitive to smells and she didn’t even notice I had anything on about 6 hours after I had sprayed it.

It's a love hate relationship

This fragrance is delightful and difficult at times for me to enjoy. I have never experienced such a scent that evokes such strong polarity in my senses. The notes of lily are divine, but then there is something I cannot quite put my finger on that has a powdery, yet too sweet punch that my nose does not agree with. Certain times of the day I love the scent, and at other times that particular powdery sweet punch knocks me out. I received a free trial size in exchange for this review, so I can't speak to the design of the bottle or the packaging; I am left to base it on a small amount that I have attempted to wear during the hottest part of summer. This may be better for me in the cooler months. I can't quite decide if I love it or I detest it. It is definitely a ... MoreThis fragrance is delightful and difficult at times for me to enjoy.

It is definitely a scent you want to put on your skin and wear for a bit before making the decision whether to purchase a large bottle. The formula, like most higher end perfumes, changes depending on your personal ph or however that works. I will be trying this again once the leaves change, and begin to fall. For now it is a good, but not great option for myself; perhaps it will be your favorite.

Meringue Pie and Sea Salt

Jean Paul Gaultier Divine: a flavorful meringue pie with a dash of coarse sea salt sprinkled on top. It's like an aquatic gourmand. Beautifully sweet vanilla, candied berry opening that transitions pretty quickly to a marine accord with hints of floral notes. I will say the dry down leans a bit eggy on my skin which I attribute to the meringue. I definitely prefer to apply this on clothing so I can truly appreciate a balanced version of the fragrance. Projection and sillage are moderate but buildable, in my opinion, depending on how many sprays you apply. The bottle in the image is a beautiful glass with gold accents in the shape of the feminine form, which is fitting for a feminine perfume. Top notes are supposed to be calypsone, red berries and bergamot; middle ... MoreJean Paul Gaultier Divine: a flavorful meringue pie with a dash of coarse sea salt sprinkled on top.

Not long lasting; unknown cruelty-free status

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Divine Le Parfum is a sophisticated scent that is both floral yet gourmand. It’s a lovely fragrance for transitioning into the fall season, and I did receive a compliment from someone while wearing it. However, I didn’t find it to be particularly long-lasting as it faded after a couple of hours, so be prepared to reapply throughout the day.I tried to find out whether this fragrance was cruelty-free, and while some smaller articles from unfamiliar sources mentioned that it was vegan and cruelty-free, there was no mention of being vegan or cruelty-free on Gaultier’s official website, which I think would be a selling point that they’d mention if true. I was also unable to find any official certification stating that this product was indeed ... MoreJean Paul Gaultier’s Divine Le Parfum is a sophisticated scent that is both floral yet gourmand.
