‘Jean Paul Gaultier has all the couture pieces and we always thought we wanted to go into a more elevated world of fragrances, putting more money into the ingredients, the juices, the bottle, and finding this link between the haute couture and the savoir-faire in everything concerning fragrances (…) We thought this was the right moment to elevate [the fragrances] because the brand was living a very good moment. It only made sense. Maybe we are late to the party, but we needed to be in this party, and here we are (…) The market of fragrances is exploding in a way. We are reaching different consumers and today when they look for a fragrance, they look much more for identity and emotion.…Collections like this allow the consumers that want to experiment more, try things that are more niche, and play in a different way.’ – Ana Trias (Puig)
