Jean Patou Collection Heritage L'Heure Attendue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Thomas Fontaine. Collection Heritage L'Heure Attendue opens with Neroli, Aldehydes, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Opoponax. Jean Patou's Collection Heritage L'Heure Attendue carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one is a true phoenix, rising from the ashes of a defunct brand to captivate noses with its classic-yet-modern charm. It's a gorgeous blend of opulence and restraint, but you'll have to hunt for it.

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.

  • Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli

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

L'Heure Attendue opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydes, lifted by bright tangerine and a whisper of neroli. It quickly softens into a rich, powdery heart of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and a hint of sweet peach. The dry-down is a warm, enveloping embrace of amber, sandalwood, and patchouli, with the unique resinous depth of opoponax grounding the floral sweetness.
