Jean Patou · Parfum / Extrait · 1936

≈ $180 · 100ml · approx. retail

A green floral built on hyacinth and hawthorn, moving into a lilac-mimosa heart sharpened with galbanum over a soft musk base. Named for holidays, it evokes an outdoor spring garden; revived in the Collection Héritage line but current market availability is uncertain.
