Le Sien by Jean Patou c1928

Sporty types of perfume and colognes are very popular today, especially among the younger set and it seems as if they have always been around, however that is not the case. Sporty or clean fragrances are named for their freshness, a quality that roughly akin to the smell of a warm shower or a good soap. These fragrances are found most often in eau de colognes. Given their refreshing nature, women and men who are active or athletic may find sporty fragrances appealing. Some classic sporty fragrances are Estee Lauder Alliage, Lily Chic by Escada, Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren Polo for Women and Tommy Girl.


Cocktail by Jean Patou c1931

Cocktail was launched in 1984 as part of Patou's Ma Collection. It was based on a trio of scents that Jean Patou had created in the 1930s, but can be said that it is Jean Kerleo's modern interpretation of the fragrance Cocktail Dry.


Joy by Jean Patou c1930

Jean Patou wanted to send a gift of appreciation to his many regular international clients who would be unable to visit Paris in that first year of the Great Depression. He asked Henri Almeras to create something very strong, yet simple, no matter what the cost. This lead to the creation of the costliest perfume in the world, Joy.
