Story

At Jean Paul Gaultier, man is a masculine plural concept. ‘There are men of different ages, very masculine or more feminine, half-hoodlum-half-good guy, rascal or refined… but the one thing they all have in common is a self-assertive personality,’ the couturier explains. Sixteen years after the release of his best-selling fragrance, Le Mâle, Gaultier wanted a generous, sensual and edgy fragrance. A scent for a chic, torrid man with panache. So Kokorico was born, a composition in which cocoa, patchouli and fresh notes come together. The whole in a trompe-l’œil, red-and-black, resolutely Gaultier package.

Description

Kokorico (“Cock-a-doodle-doo” in French) opens with a fresh and dazzling note of fig leaf, for a slightly green and aromatic effect. Then the fragrance warms up, heralding the sweet note of cocoa. The very present smoky-woody notes of patchouli reinforce the trace of bitterness in the cocoa bean. Cedar and vetiver root complete the fragrance’s woody dimension. Perfumers: Olivier Cresp and Annick Menardo, Firmenich

Bottle

From the side, the trompe-l’œil bottle calls to mind a man’s torso, the design signature of Gaultier’s first-ever scent for men. From the front, however, the bottle is completely different: it’s a man’s face. Kokorico is inscribed in red on the black-glass bottle, with a K evoking feathers. The package is a metal box, also red.
