Jean Patou Sublime is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1992, created by Jean Kerléo. Sublime opens with Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Jean Patou's Sublime carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a real marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, golden embrace or find it a bit too much. Sublime is a truly classic, sophisticated floral that demands attention, but be warned: reformulations divide opinion, so hunt for a vintage bottle if you want the full, unadulterated experience.

Sublime's strong sillage and 'old money' feel make it less suitable for the office, where it might be too overpowering. It excels in formal and date settings, conveying elegance and sophistication, as many reviewers indicated it made them feel glamorous and well-dressed.

About

Sublime unfurls with a sun-drenched burst of citrus, where juicy orange and mandarin mingle with bright bergamot and the rich sweetness of ylang-ylang. This vibrant opening mellows into a plush heart of white florals, led by indolic jasmine and soft rose, before settling into a warm, powdery base. Amber and musk provide a comforting, slightly animalic depth, underpinned by earthy patchouli, creating a complex and enveloping aroma that feels both opulent and refined.
