Que Sais-Je(1925)
Jean Patou · Henri Almeras · Chypre
At a glance
A fruity-floral composition from Henri Almeras for Jean Patou, opening on bergamot and fruity notes before a mixed-floral heart, closing on oakmoss, musk, and woods. Released alongside Amour Amour the same year, it reflects Almeras's early experimentation with different structures for the newly established Patou fragrance house. Its oakmoss base gives it a slightly mossier, more chypre-adjacent finish than its floral sibling.

This scent's musk note is almost certainly synthetic — discovered by accident in 1888 while researching explosives.
