Jean Patou Perfume

The son of a Parisian bourgeois family, Jean Patou wasted no time in setting up his first couture business. He was, in fact, only 22 years old, proving that a bubbling well of creativity is no great respecter of age or patience. What's more, this spark of design genius came with a large dose of determination and business savviness. Having sold both his first two businesses, Jean finally established this very brand, the only one to bear his full name and which serves as the fullest expression of his ideas.

That brand went on to become a leading light in France's fashion landscape. Its embracing of art deco ensured an entirely unique collection of designs, each of which struck a delicate balance between tradition and modern values. In 1929, Jean Patou produced their debut perfume, JOY. This single creation was the first of many, the combined successes of which led the house to become the fragrance legend that it is today.

Don't miss out on this iconic brand and its stunning selection of fragrances. Inspired by decades of changing fashions and new innovations, each scent is a testament to Jean Patou's dedication to ultimate style.

Why We Like Jean Patou

"While Jean Patou has its foundations in fashion, we love the understated yet luxurious design of their perfumes. The bottles are timeless and chic, just as you'd expect a French product to be, and the scents hold so much history within them, with the name 'Joy' paying homage to the brand's first perfume. "
