A Giant!!!
This is perhaps one of the finest floral creations ever. I have waited years and finally blind purchased this stunner. Its an EDT from 1984. It was only 12 years old at the time. I dont understand the old lady references. Nobody does the floral better than Patou in the 20th C, and 1000 sits effortlessly at the top.

Its very "mod" in character. 1972 was comfortable and natural. The legend fits this beauty-the day it was released, 1000 Rolls Royce delivered 1000 bottles of 1000 to 1000 of the most elegant women in Paris. This is truly paradise lost!

Joy is very wintry and wears fur. 1000 is like a warm summer breeze dressed in diaphanous silk. I can understand how every drop contains 1000 flowers. There is no other floral that I can think of that commands such power than Mitsouko. That's another chypre, of course. 1000 gives you flowers immediately while playing in the classic green magic of the chypre notes of oakmoss, vetiver and patchouli. I get lots of violet in here amid the rose, iris and jasmine. The civet is well behaved only giving the composition more depth. It boggles the nose with its complexity. Indeed, it changes ever so slightly as the day progresses.

The same opulent presentation as Joy gave Patou a reputation for wealth and prestige. Perhaps thats why 1000 was a little out of reach for many. The ingredients of this batch are authentic and unmatched. The reputation fits 1000 and indeed Jean Kerleo-perhaps one of the finest noses that ever lived. This is an epic French perfume above all.

Another Victim of Reformulation Perhaps?
As I understand it, some Patou fragrances will no longer be made, so after reading quite a few enthusiastic reviews of 1000, I purchased a bottle of the eau de parfum from a well known grey market seller.

There is not much I can say about this one. The top notes are nice enough, but they burn off almost as soon as the perfume dries on my skin. Thereafter, I quickly detect a pretty tame oak moss. I cannot really tease out the other notes.

Performance is not good. Even with eight sprays projection and sillage are practically non-existent. Longevity is not good either. It is not an unpleasant fragrance by any means, but I have Avons and B&BW body sprays with more personality and better performance. I believe my bottle is 100% authentic. Perhaps it is just very old? I have the last incarnation of this fragrance, so perhaps age and reformulation combined are to blame?

I think this is a unisex fragrance wearable in virtually any setting. It is nice enough, but I do not think it is special in any way. If these notes appeal to you, though, and you want to add a piece of perfume history to your collection, then by all means grab a bottle whilst they are still available. I paid around $70 for the 75ml bottle. I think a fairer price would be less than half that amount, though. I could even justify $50 for it if the performance was a lot better. Perhaps I should re-evaluate it in really hot weather? I have worn it in February and March. Once I wear it in Summer, if my opinion changes at all, I will be sure to update my review, but for now, I would say this is just okay and very overpriced at $70. I never smelt the original, so perhaps the original was more of a stunner. It is always sad to have to write a "meh" review of any fragrance, especially one from an historically important house like Jean Patou. Oh, well....c'est la vie....

Fragrance: 4/10
Projection: 3/10
Sillage: 3/10
Longevity: 2/10

Upper class beauty
The Jean Patou collection is the epitome of elegance. In this upper class family, there are the three sisters Joy, Sublime and 1000. They form a breathtaking floral-chypre trifecta.
"Joy" being the most succesful one, but somewhat cold-hearted and hard to get. In colors she is green and white.
"Sublime" is a warm and kinder one. The mother figure. Orange and gold.
Then there is "1000". She is frolic and delicate. Light yellow and white. Because of her modesty, she is a bit overshadowed by her bigger sisters, but deep down she is a true gem. Certainly the most beautiful of the three.

You are so cool
and serious
in your floral dress
you glide aloof
through the soft moss
amidst shimmering
soap bubbles.

Delicately tuned Concerto Grosso of gentle blossoms:
Rose demure, Jasmine subtle, Osman not too girly.

Kerleo masterpiece!

The name is supposed to suggest that the scent actually has 1000 ingredients. Even if that might be a myth: one likes to believe it.
