An immensely influential designer in his day, Jean Patou single-handedly eliminated the flapper look of the Roaring Twenties. He introduced some of the first sportswear for women, and invented the tennis skirt. During the Great Depression the house of Jean Patou fell into decline, but managed to survive thanks to its legendary fragrances.

Joy, a perfume introduced in the 1930s, remains the house’s most popular scent to this day. Concocting this masterpiece requires the essences of ten thousand rare flowers, including Bulgarian roses and Grasse jasmine, as well as the flowers of the rarest perfume tree in the world, the “alba”.

All Jean Patou fragrances are crafted with an excellence that is second to none. For the finest, most exclusive perfumes, look no further than Jean Patou.
