Jean Patou 1000 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1972, created by Jean Kerléo. 1000 opens with Violet, Osmanthus, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Geranium, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Oak, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Jean Patou's 1000 carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't for everyone. Some call it a dated, dusty floral, others a masterpiece of complexity and elegance. If you appreciate classic grandeur and a rich, evolving scent, you'll be in good company, but prepare for a divisive first impression.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Date Formal

Its opulent floral and woody accords, combined with its strong, long-lasting presence reported in many reviews, make it less suitable for casual or office wear. It truly shines in formal settings and for intimate evenings, where its elegance and sensuality can be fully appreciated.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

1000 opens with a soft whisper of violet and apricot-kissed osmanthus, quickly deepening into a heady bouquet of rose and jasmine, brightened by geranium and lily of the valley. As it settles, a sophisticated base of oak, creamy sandalwood, and earthy patchouli emerges, lending a warm, grounded depth to the opulent florals. It’s a journey from ethereal blossom to intimate woody warmth.
