Jean Paul Gaultier did up Classique and Le Male in red puffer vests last year; this year it's fur-trimmed silver: "This dazzling collector's edition of Classique is reimagined in an iridescent bottle containing the original Classique perfume under a faux fur coat." The women's is currently on markdown at Macy's ($110 for 100 ml), don't know if they'll stock the men's or not.
