Jean Patou · Parfum / Extrait · 1925

≈ $180 · 100ml · approx. retail

The blonde of Jean Patou's 1925 hair-color trio (with Adieu Sagesse and Que Sais-Je?), debuted in Paris the same day as Guerlain's Shalimar. A fruity floral opening of bergamot and strawberry gives way to a dense multi-floral heart over an animalic, honeyed base. Later reissued as "Deux Amours" in the Collection Héritage line; current market availability is uncertain.
