Wore it on my wedding day. For this perfume addict, 'nuff said!
1000 to me is a nice green chypre in the same vein as Chanel 19. On my skin, the two are similar, replacing the iris of 19 with an earthy violet in 1000. It is so similar to 19 to me that I...

Joy has the floral base that reminds me of other perfumes of the era, which in itself is very nice. Then, there is the fecal/animalic note and that completely turns me off to this. It gets a bit...

Less loud than most 70s scents, this is still clearly in the older style of perfumery. Slightly ripe florals over a classic base with sandalwood, civet and patchouli, it smells like it cost a lot,...

Fresh (rose?), classy, very french and light but has absolutely no staying power. Will not repurchase. Shame-because it's a truly wonderful scent.

Classic, warm, elegant, refined. Very ladylike. The frangrance equivalent of gold jewelry and fur coats. There are some very heavy animalic notes. Far too much civet for me to actually wear in...

Sophisticated, clean, yet pretty. Very wearable, subtle, and unique. Wish it wasn't so expensive. A bit powdery, but a great fragrance for work that exudes grownup confidence.

Wonderful scent! It was my mother's signature scent for a long time (after Nina Ricci misguidedly discontinued Fille d'Eve). My parents were in the diplomatic service and this scent brings back...

Colony is a rare gem. It is a green pineapple based perfume that is darker rather than fizzy or light like L'Artisan's pinapple scent or hyper sweet like some others. It has a slight cocktail/tonic...

Much too vintage for me. I used to think that the perfume in my antique bottles had gone off and that's why it smelled musty and greenish, but I tried this from a new bottle (Christmas brought me...

Goes on initially all heavy orange blossom like En Avion. I don't like orange blossom. Dries down to a powdery amber with floral notes that both do and do not remind of sunscreen (This is...

A delicate, pretty fragrance that smells much of fruit and musk. It
honestly reminds me strongly of Exclamation! which is available (most of the Patous seem to be gone from the world) and dirt...

Largely Neroli and Opoponax upon drydown, this one is like a faint, ladylike version of En Avion without the leather notes. I cannot wear En Avion without getting the old fashioned, extremely...

I've been wearing SUBLIME for many years now. It's one of the few scents that doesn't make me feel nauseous. I swear so many fragrances give me a headache, make me feel tense, and finally end in...

The sweeter side of imperialism. This is fresh, fresh pineapple still oozing with sap and the sharp green of spiky leaves, tropical nectar, and just a little marine salt - I can taste it on my...

This is one of my two favorite fragrances (the other one is Juicy Couture).
As you can see, I'm firmly in the fruity/floral camp. Enjoy is a fresh, fruity floral yet it's very sophisticated...

Finally tried Jean Patou's 1000... It's bold, pretty and grounded. In my mind, 1000 conjures up pictures of an impeccably dressed woman in a Chanel suit, chauffeured around New York City to take...

A classic house who finally offered up a new parfum? I was all over it! And then... (soundtrack from the movie Jaws playing here) I took it home and sprayed away.
Nice. Very nice. So what? The...

I received a tiny bottle of Patou Forever in a swap, and instantly became obsessed. I ordered the biggest bottle of EDP I could find (I have problems with fragrances not lasting, so I avoid EDTs...

My sister wore this as her signature for many years, and loved it, and still does. To me, it's very sophisticated & flowery, but clean. It is not my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean it isn't good....
