Jean Patou Joy Eau de Parfum 50ml Spray is one of the most legendary perfumes ever created — composed by perfumer Henri Alméras in 1929 for Parisian couturier Jean Patou. A monumental floral signature built around precious Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang, tuberose, jasmine and May rose, it remains a landmark of fine perfumery, with each bottle requiring thousands of flowers in its composition.
About Jean Patou
Jean Patou was an iconic French couturier of the 1920s and 1930s, with his eponymous fragrance house remaining one of the most respected names in perfumery. Joy — presented in 1929 as "the world's most expensive perfume" — has long stood as a definitive example of the floral genre.
