Spring love
Perfume is by definition a luxury product. But there is luxury and there is luxury. If there is one perfume that brings out the decadent snob in me it is Jean Patou's 1000. I fell in love with the EdP format a while ago and recently I obtained also the EdT.
(Both are relatively recent iterations from the SA Designer Parfums era. In all fairness, they survived the chypre's reformulation curse in a very decent way)
My first experience with the EdT was disappointing, though. I wore it on a cold day, at home. I got nothing. Nothing! At most a pale watered-down ghost of the scent that I adored in the EdP. In anger I placed the bottle back in the cabinet. Still a pretty bottle, but probably never going to wear it again, I thought.
Today, a mild sunny day in early spring, I gave it another try. Again it is just a thin fleeting rendition of the EdP, but this time it actually worked like a charm. The osmanthus and violet form an elegant floral pair and the mossy base is bitter, dry and sparkling. Vibrant, but airy light.
Perhaps it is a temperature or humidity thing, maybe it is just my mood. Either way, I am very much in love with 1000 again. The EdP for autumn and the EdT for spring.
