Fate of the Fragrance:


Discontinued, date unknown.

Eau de Caline was also launched.

The original version of Caline remained discontinued for a number of years. Later, in the 1984, Jean Patou launched its Caline  perfume for the Ma Collection of Patou's best loved perfumes alongside Cocktail, Normandie, Amour Amour, L'Heure Attendue, Adieu Sagesse, Moment Supreme, Divine Folie, Colony, Chaldee, and Que Sais Je. Although some have remained faithful to the initial formula, others have had to be modified because it was difficult to find all the original ingredients during the 1980s. An eau de toilette was developed for each fragrance, something that was non-existent 50 years prior.

The 1984 version of Caline was reformulated by Jean Kerleo.  It is classified as a fresh aldehydic floral chypre fragrance for women.
  • Top notes: aldehydes, green notes, mimosa, green mandarin, bergamot, basil, spices
  • Middle notes: orange blossom, patchouli, oakmoss, coriander, May rose, jasmine, orris root, cyclamen, ylang-ylang, carnation 
  • Base notes: sandalwood, cedar, labdanum, amber and musk
