About

Jean Patou was a French fashion designer who founded his eponymous couture house in 1914 in Paris. He later diversified into perfumery, creating some of the 20th century's most iconic and luxurious fragrances, including 'Joy' and '1000'. The brand was synonymous with elegance, opulence, and a groundbreaking approach to both fashion and scent. The original fragrance line is no longer in production, with key elements of its legacy now under different ownership.
