Although I have given this a three, it isn't a bad three. I get a lot of banana from this, some pretty florals and a warm sandalwood backdrop. It smells a lot like Miller Harris' Coeur d'ete (which...

Un Amour de Patou is a classic clean light rose, maybe a bit of grapefruit and greenery, very high quality impression overall. The bottle is gorgeous too. A real gem.

I really wanted to like this perfume, because I have always been a big fan of Tresor. At first I really thought this was going to work for me, but eventually it smelled a little burnt on me. My...

Did you ever own a fragrance that you just couldn't figure out? A fragrance that you really don't like, but you keep trying it, just to figure out what it is you don't like? Well, that is my...

Suits people who like those old-fashioned powdery smell. Not really my taste, but at least this wasn't too overpowering like Sublime.

Way too strong and old-fashioned for my taste. My mum is in her early fifties, and she doesn't even like it.

Very distinctive. Lovely rose and jasmine fragrance when I sniff the bottle, but I cannot wear it.

I am down to my very last drop of this glorious scent. Crisp, elegantly luscious, it just does the business for me. Manages to be light and citrusy but also packs a spicy woody note in on the...

Sigh ... I was *so* excited to try this out, especially since it was the divine Vivien Leigh's favorite perfume. It smelled nice in the bottle, which is why I gave it three lippies. My body...

Deep, dark, gorgeous. Defies categorization. This is a "rich" floral, but where are the bright, fresh flowers. The answer: this perfume uses some of the world's most expensive natural...

This is the review for the parfum - The 1000 EDT I had tried before now seems harsher and drier, woodier, brighter and spicier too.
The parfum sinks in the skin, warmer, feeling very sensual,...

Chaldée may just be the most famous of the Ma Collection Patous. The name is evocative of bronzed Sumerians and conjures images of exotic locales. But the most powerful image in my mind when I...

Joy is a lovely Bulgarian Rose. It’s soft and feminine and unobtrusive, very well behaved and I don’t get any synthetic notes. I love sophisticated, gentle and well behaved florals, but this one...

1000 is such a strange bird, and I have postponed trying it for a long time, expecting a floral explosion in the manners of Joy. Since it was mentioned as an exemplary osmanthus scent, I had to try...

I love all things Patou. Own most of the fragrances so I had to have this unsniffed. I love it after the first 20 min. but after it's on my skin an hour or so it turns to Tresor. It does smell alot...
