Yazhini ManimudiJean Paul Gaultier began the Divine collection in 2023 with the white floral-marine-gourmand fragrance Gaultier Divine. The bottles are JPG’s iconic seamstress mannequin shaped bottles, now with golden corsets for some divinity. Actress Yara Shahidi is the face of this collection. Including a collector’s edition from 2025, Divine Couture is the 5th in the collection.

In the barrage of fruity gourmand perfumes we’re getting this year, Divine Couture stands more unique. Quentin Bisch continues on as the nose behind the JPG Divine fragrances. The meringue, jasmine, ylang-ylang characteristic of the Divine line continues on here, absent only in the Le Parfum concentration of 2024.
From the notes alone, it looks quite interesting. Not the raspberry part. Everyone’s doing raspberry. It’s the aromatic dimensions that create intrigue. We have geranium, pelagronium, and pine for the green aromatic quality and if the notes are prominent in the fragrance profile, we’d have the most interesting perfume in this line.
Divine Couture vibrant raspberry and citruses for a bright beginning. The solar notes, used earlier in Gaultier Divine Le Parfum will add a summery radiance, contrasting the deep, resinous-balsamic base. The herbal sweetness of coumarin topped with the airy sweetness of meringue should also be quite the experience.
Different from the other fruity floral gourmands of 2026, Divine Couture will be a welcome release in the world of designer fragrances. Only one way to find out if it matches my expectations. Stay tuned on Perfume Mag to find out.
