Jean Patou Chaldee Heritage Collection Eau de Parfumee Spray for Women 100 ml

Product Information

Sometimes it will become green sometimes vanilla ish either way it is a warm fragrance. DONT let people tell you its for dressing up etc. Wear it with ripped jeans or whatever you like. It will dress you up ! Chaldeé is the oriental relative to the English botanic sibling (Ostara). The former has plenty of development from medicinal to floral-faecal to floral indolic (narcissus and jasmin) to floral-vanilla to resinous-ambery warm. There is an ever so slight undertone of that sandalwood accord reminiscent of 'Opium' by YSL. Edit April 2022: i wore this today on a hot spring day. It was more more than sublime: it was the sexiest frag I've worn in months. Somehow the warmth of my skin and the air were emphasising the sweet apricot and ylang notes. The spices were amped up too. After 6 hours I am still getting wafts of this love potion and am enthralled. In about 10 minutes Jasmine appears with heady flowers - lilac? hyacinth? - twined, while the myrhh and bergamot provide a character-filled depth to the florals. This is a rich, ambery perfume; aware, considered and with great depth. Chaldée is one of the successful ones. The opening is actually lovely and an improvement over the vintage, and gives an idea of how the vintage must have smelled like with all the top notes intact. It has everything you read in the list of notes above in the description; the bergamot and florals are especially fresh and vivid.

if you like an original fragrance always ensure that you aren't buying the revised version, which can be to attar what dribbles in the cat box are to the product on the counter. I love powdery perfumes, but then again, I can get a similar dry drown from other fragrances that won't abuse me this much with their top and heart notes. Shalimar comes to mind. Hell, even Chantilly by Dana treats me better.And yes, so be it, Sublime !! I have said it before, now say it again, show me someone who cannot wear this. It knows no bounds, no social class. You may think it is for a certain pedigree or style, but it goes everywhere and will dress you up.. I dont know how it does it ?? After 30 minutes a beautifully rich blossoming of Jasmine, orange blossom, lilac, rose absolute with vanilla and myrhh combine to delicious effect; I'm entranced, but busy for the next 2.5 hours, keenly aware of this lovely cloud emanating from my skin (none sprayed on my clothes).

Unfortunately it’s no surprise that Sublime sputtered and stalled. It wasn’t bad–not by a longshot–but it was seen as irrelevant when held to the growingly detached, hygienic aesthetic that would come to define the 1990s. Viewed on its own merits, Sublime is a history lesson on the genre by one of the 20th century’s strongest classicists and historians, Jean Kerléo. It is also urges speculation as to where the chypre genre might have gone if materials restriction hadn’t hobbled it.So for me this smell of Chaldee is a light, pale golden colour, like rays of sunlight streaming through clear blue sky on a crisp late spring/early summer morning in these parts. After 3 hours the perfume is easy to smell on my wrists and wonderfully mellow; dusky florals - jasmine, hyacinth, lilac, Jonquil perhaps - shot through and supported by vanilla and incense. I don't yet know how to detect Tonka Bean or Amber but if I were to give this perfume a colour it would be amber, although it verges into violet territory in the headiness of its florals. You feel elevated, clean, posh but very comfortable at the same time. Sublime, in word! (pun intended). It may sometimes seem deep and skanky - at first, but that should soon spin and lift higher. The longer its on the more heavenly it gets.

Colony: For those who love leather but leather that is elegant, not brash, like many leather perfumes can be. Jean Patou ( pronounced [ʒɑ̃ pa.tu]; 27 September 1887 – 8 March 1936) was a French fashion designer, and founder of the Jean Patou brand. This opens quite light then develops a pleasing highly feminine full bodied scent with rich resins and amber, with a very soft warm spice overlaid with a delicate fuzz of cool floral notes (not sure exactly what florals, it just smells like light fluffy florals!) Guerlain perfumes are more distanciated, and in that sense more symbolic, than Chanel and Patou. A lot of today's perfumery, if it's any good, and particularly luxury and niche conceptions, is story telling as well. So it seems indebted to Guerlain's artistry. In my rough estimation, the story telling style of fragrance gained traction in the 80s. Mugler a major practitioner. All the French design houses at least put their feet in this water. Patou was born in Paris, France in 1880. Patou's family's business was tanning and furs. [1] Patou worked with his uncle in Normandy, then moved to Paris in 1910, intent on becoming a couturier.That reputation continues today with the new collection Jean Patou Collection Heritage with three fragrances Chald ée, Eau de Patou and Patou Pour Homme, reformulated by house perfumer Thomas Fontaine to showcase the rebirth of the House and to satisfy the continuing demand by perfume aficionados around the world.

By the time the base notes take center stage, the gorgeous vintage version is at its finest. The opoponax, vanilla and tonka blend together seamlessly; they smell elegant, natural and harmonious, they're very fine in texture, and they last for many, many hours. This is when the reformulated version shows its limitations and when a little roughness to the texture is revealed. Up close, it's a touch louder and harsher, less "blurred" and beautiful. But it's still clearly Chaldée -- and from a distance, the sillage is wonderful, truly authentic, and carries more than the vintage.Zanon, Johanna " La face cachée de la Lune: les ateliers de couture de la maison Jean Patou dans l’entre-deux-guerres", in Apparence(s) 7 (2017). Eureka! This smells exactly like my aunt's old Beatle albums! Her cat peed on them at some point and she had sprayed perfume on top to mask it. Molecules intermingling organically, a bit of aging, a bit of creeping mold, et voila. It makes me think crazy cat lady - not that there's anything wrong with that (I intend to become one myself). This fragrance is just not my cup of chai. Oh, eeui, took forever to wash it off!
