‘Eve of the future, modern-day Madonna, old-school diva, contemporary queen… Jean-Paul Gaultier is every woman. Since 1976, he has been passionately dressing and undressing women, embracing all cultures, all forms of beauty and all bodies with the same love. In the world of Gaultier, women are human, divine, completely themselves and play wonderfully with the traditional attributes of gender. With Gaultier Divine, the designer celebrates their power and uniqueness, revealing their inherent divinity. Dressed in a precious corset, the bottle contains extremely solar fragrances: a majestic Gaultier lily, an ethereal meringue, and a fresh, salty kiss. What could be more divine than being a woman FLORAL GOURMAND MARINE: A seamless balance between floral and gourmand accords, with a salty undertone that runs throughout. Majestic and solar, this spectacular Gaultier lily unfolds its voluptuousness in a bouquet of white flowers, while an ethereal meringue lends it its delicious sweetness. An addiction like no other!’ – Jean Paul Gaultier

No full review yet, because I only smelled in stores. This seems very pleasant; one of the better new releases that I tried during that day of perfume testing.

Leans heavily into the vanillic aspect. You get the sea breeze/marine facet, but really in a sun tan, beachy way. Florals make it a bit more mature. Similar in style to Moresque Regina for example.
