The Story
Patou Joy is a legendary floral aldehyde that has been cherished since 1929. The 2031 reformulation honors the original's opulent bouquet of rose and jasmine, now with a brighter, more sustainable twist. It opens with sparkling aldehydes and ylang-ylang, blooms with a lush heart of centifolia rose and jasmine, and settles into a warm, powdery base of sandalwood and musk. This is a fragrance for those who appreciate timeless elegance with a modern conscience.
