GAP launched Close in 2009 — and it was a brilliant move. A feminine fragrance belonging to the wood and musk families. Inspiration and execution — all of it is Marypierre Julien. Available as eau de toilette.
Country of origin — the United States: no wonder the fragrance turned out this refined. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Close is shaped as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of GAP comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Floral, Mineral, Citrus and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Ambery, Wood, Gourmet and Musk. At family level the scent maps to Musk and Wood.
In the top tier you catch salty-airy first notes: Almond Blossom, Aquatic accord, Citrus accord and Salt.
When the opening settles you notice Freesia, Heliotrope and Jasmine holding a harmonious floral direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Floral, Musc, Wood and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Mineral expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In summary Close reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood through real development.
