Family

Created by Jean Kerleo for Jean Patou, Eau de Patou opens on bergamot, lavender, and citrus, moves through a heart of sheer florals, and closes on damp woods, powdery amber, and oakmoss. Its unusually atmospheric, texture-focused note descriptions reflect Kerleo's more impressionistic, mood-driven approach to composition, distinct from the more literal ingredient lists typical of the era.
