Created by Henri Almeras for Jean Patou, Divine Folie, Divine Madness, opens on ylang-ylang and neroli, moves through an elaborate heart of rose, orris root, jasmine, African orange flower, and vetiver, and closes on vanilla and musk. Its unusually rich five-material heart reflects Almeras's characteristically generous, maximalist approach to composition, following the same lavish material philosophy that had defined Joy four years earlier. The fragrance's evocative name suggests an intoxicating, abandon-inducing character consistent with its dense, tropical-leaning floral structure.
