Called several times here a feminine EAU SAUVAGE… That sounds to me like DIORELLA. Is it anything like DIORELLA ?

When I first purchased this scent in Key West at the local fragrance shop, the clerk told me that there were many people in town making a movie, and that they had
chosen this as their favorite fragrance. I don’t know of anything by Patou that I don’t like. Several people have said that this line was not popular in the U.S. 1000 was a favorite of Jackie Kennedy and many other people with fine taste in luxury items. Joy and 1000 parfum were sold in beautiful little bottles, one black, one jade green. I had both and would keep buying them if I could find them.

Citrus composition very nice and old school, somewhat outmoded and perhaps one of the first unisex fragrances that were made.
The skill with which this composition Kerleo was exploring the blend of citrus with a very natural feeling that evolves into a floral white sophisticated, where you can see a very authentic note of honeysuckle, as if you had a bunch of these flowers before you quickly feel the animal touch of civet enveloping the fragrance in an unusual sensuality and warmth to be a citrus fragrance.
Drying classic oak moss, soft, comfortable and with a nice silky feel dry musk.

Toute la fin de mon enfance et le début de mon adolescence résumés en un parfum…..
Onirique. Flamboyant. Frais. Merveilleux. Amoureux. Tendre.
Je souhaite à toutes les jeunes filles d’avoir à leur côté un tel parfum pour les accompagner dans leur premier parcours des premiers émois amoureux.
Rassurant et protecteur….

Vintage is best…
This is a lovely one. It is quite beautiful too! This is not a typical citrus fragrance either. It is a combination between citrus, amber, civet and oakmoss, and it’s very unusual and very nice. I get the civet and amber straight away together with the citrus (orange mainly) and oakmoss. It’s gorgeous! It’s sweet and balanced and the civet and sweet amber reminds me of honey! There is also a lot of neroli, honeysuckle and ylang-ylang. It doesn’t smell “modern” at all but it has so much character! I like it very much. What a shame this version is no longer being made! Sometimes I think that some of the best versions of fragrances belong to the past, and this is an example of one of them. R.I.P. Eau de Patou…

I remember using this early to mid 2000s because my mother stuck to her Cacharel and chose not to use any other for a decade. It was lovely – the top notes seemed a bit too strong, too orange-y for me but the heart really defined this fragrance. It sat well from morning to afternoon – very subtle combination of citrus and floral as the top notes never really faded completely. I used this for a few years, really worked great with my skin. It’s surprisingly not too feminine, with a little hint of musk towards the end. I can say this is one of my favorite scents, the newer versions just aren’t on the same league anymore.

My nose may be failing me, but I smell Muelhens 4711 Original Eau de Cologne almost exactly. 4711 is a fraction of the price of Eau de Patou, so I’ll be switching over when my cute bottle is gone. Speaking of, I have the set of edt and soap in a nautical canvas tote, and it really couldn’t be any cuter. The body lotion is in transit, and I trust I will enjoy wearing this scent in layers. But I must be missing something, because, truly, Jean Kerleo could not have passed off the composition of 4711, a ubiquitous classic if there ever was one, as a new Patou.
термез – :
Just got my blind buy of the new version; all I can say it smells nothing like the original, which was a wonderful scent. The new version is an insult to my nose and I don’t even want to go into detail of what I smell, similar smells can be easily found in the cleaning aisle of the supermarket of your choice. Why on earth did they discontinue the original gem ??????????? What was wrong with the original scent??
pommmka – :
The perfect summer fragrance. I have the vintage version and it certainly has a proper chypre sensibility via the oakmoss, plus there’s a hint of civet for sure – but all so beautifully blended that there’s nothing to be afraid of.
I agree with the Eau Sauvage comparison to an extent, but this is distinctly more feminine in my view.
In short, classic French perfumery of the kind that nobody makes any more.

Warm citruses in musk, picturesque aroma, which takes you to the hot day in Sicily on the orange farm where fruits heart and juice warmed on the sunshine and you can smell even zest of oranges and the warm grass underneath the trees, mossy, flowery, – all together like the smell of beautiful young strong body which worked since sunrise, sweated on that sun just as those ripped by him/her oranges (you feel soft animalic notes wafting between fruit and flower), being complex the fragrance seem to be yet very simple as Nature itself. I believe my dear friend akats sent me an old vintage version of Eau de Patou, I didn’t know such creations existed, what a legend, what a perfection
exhitleHaljex – :
You can buy this on ebay the body lotion too

I’m dissapointed. I was expecting creamy lemons and florals and all i got was mossy citrus, but it was way too similar to Capucci Pour Homme.

My further exploration of vintage Patou has led me to this little gem. My bottle is the one pictured above manufactured by Jean Patou Inc. After the epic 1000, in 1976 this is a warm weather treasure that is a calling card for the forthcoming Patou Pour Homme. By the standards of the time, this is very unisex and a close cousin to Eau Sauvage.
With neroli being my favorite note,this presents it effortlessly. Nice citrus notes and oakmoss creates a masterpiece. Its perfect for the beach or sailing. The civet is perfectly harmonized, giving it a clean fresh allure.
I wonder why Patou was never popular in the USA? Regardless, this is my newest love. Indeed If you can find an original bottle, grab it up and enjoy it. This is pure French luxury!
vovawrestler – :
Don’t judge this one based on the new release. You must try the vintage. It’s beautiful. Unisex all the way.
I find it to be a powdery citrus without being stuffy. It’s not sharp, but really smooth.
I’ve been using the one pictured here, so it’s the one for women I guess. There’s a male counterpart as well, but I haven’t tried that one (not sure I’ll bother).
Anyway, I highly recommend this one if you like similar fragrances. As a side note, I’m picking up a faint cinnamon. It makes the fragrance a little warmer.
tjom – :
another classic gone dommage! jean patou is over and that’s pretty sad!
polkovnik Sobko – :
This reminds me of Dior’s Eau Sauvage (which I will always love), but without the deeper notes: more unisex than masculine/unisex.
ierexon – :
Another success for Jean Patou but not so heavy as some of the others,more a fresh,citrus fragrance that makes the day sunny even if it’s rainy & cold.I always smile & think of summer when I wear this one. It’s lovely daytime wear.
One my husband’s favourites & mine too.
I am a perfume addict & I think Jean Patou is my all time favourite perfumier although I’m discovering more all the time so maybe I’ll change my mind (one day?)
fliersedrearp – :
This is a LOUD, fresh, citrusy, green fragrance. I wouldn’t usually choose this kind of fragrance but got this in a swap and I must say it’s a classic! Some leaked out in the box and I left the open box in my living room. The scent filled my living room and kitchen area. It smelled so very crisp and clean! I will definitely wear this in the hot Texas summers. It is so fresh and citrusy!
romariores – :
Yes, yes! I more than love it! Have a flacon with just some left. Would be very ,very please if someone can giving me example on similar fragrances with this fresh sparkling citrus,who not fade away when the other notes kick in!!! Thank`s in advance!!!!

le plus grand!

One of the finest citrus fragrances ever made.
Of course, Eau de Patou was composed by the great Jean Kerleo, creator of the best masculine ever (Patou Pour Homme) and the best aromatic fougere ever (Patou Pour Homme Prive). A stunning, cool citrus accompanied by a sharp herbal pepper & tarragon blast and something that sort of smells like tea tree! It is so smooth, and it lasts forever. Eau de Patou is literally impossible to find these days, but if you can find a bottle and it still smells good, get it and treasure it with your life.
One of my all-time favorite fragrances.
crek12 – :
I love this one. I dug out my bottle from several years that I had been hoarding and put it on today. Lovely light fresh citrus, not at all in-your-face like some citrus can be; faint florals – no one note stands out; and discreet base notes. Combined together, it is elegant and refreshing, a perfect spring, summer fragrance. Of course, Sublime is still my absolute favorite and I have yet to feel that I can write a review to do it justice (one of these days!)
vova96 – :
Another so special perfume to me . My mother wore it during a particular summer holiday , we had a long drive , and i remember her using it on the car , spreading this amazing smell all other the place … 🙂
We were at the seaside , and this perfumed fit perfectly the location .
It’s a happy , breathe of fresh air . A blessing on a hot summer .
Very very sadly it’s been discontinued . So sad they discontinue every scent which doesn’t fit the current fashion 🙁
nicklit87 – :
not my fav of patou,like subline better.i just dont like that fruity smell,and thats all i get.
andry-san – :
The best very creamy citrus fragrence there is light clean and summery yet very lingering a real gem should not have been discontinued
petr0v1ч – :
One of the few delicate fragrance where the top citrus notes fit perfectly in rich composition with a beautiful powdery trace that long felt on the skin. Fresh and aristocratic – genuine French chic, lightweight, yet noticeable.
edit Mar2013/ it’s fresh green, a bit chypre on me, love the oak moss in it
krak1997 – :
Peccato non trovarlo piu’…una buona eau per l’estate…
crazy1331 – :
a favourite perfume since I was young, it is sharp and citrus , but also very peppery ……..it just sparkles. It is the smell of warm summer nights.
mozyTeame – :
Fresh, Green, and very 1970s. The idea of an Eau de Cologne over a floral heart, and atop a nasty civet base sounds awful, but this manages to be compelling. Interestingly, this fragrance has a huge Asian and European following, but was a flop in the States, like many of Patou’s offerings. This scent is discontinued and very hard to find.
Жу4ара – :
This is an Eau for the girls and guys with formidable taste. It is green and fresh and has a leafy presence, but I can also detect some flowers in it. It is not flamboyant, but exquisite without complication…(the ideal EAU!). I think it is suitable for all age groups and sexes.
