Gaultier Divine by Jean Paul Gaultier
Gourmand Floral, Floral Aquatic
Quentin Bisch
Jean Paul Gaultier’s perfumes are eccentric, Divine included. Gaultier Divine is gold Amphitrite, the marine Greek goddess.
Divine has not gained much popularity yet, but I actually really like this perfume. It is hard to characterize it hence more perfume families. It has aquatic fruity notes together with a solid floral heart based on edible ground. Is it strictly gourmand? No. Salty marine only? Not quite. A bit of floral fruity? Kind of. It is all of the above, cooked well together.
Gaultier Divine is a melt of watermelon together with lily and y-lang based on salt and sweetness. It is a candy-like scent so if you do not like sweet, stay away from Divine. I see similarities with Levante by Nobile 1942. They are both vacation aromas. It can be a challenge to wear them out of the blue, universally. There must be a time and place; and for that reason, I suppose a travel size is enough.
