This bottle is unused and in perfect condition. The inside of the box is clean. The outside of the box is beautiful. Small amount of evaporation. Jean Patou Caline appeared on the market in 1964, advertised as a fragrance for young women. Caline is an intense floral aldehyde, chypre fragrance with notes of green citrus, aldehydes, spices, May rose, jasmine, orris root, cyclamen, ylang-ylang, carnation, sandalwood, cedar, labdanum, moss and musk. The nose behind this fragrance was Henri Giboulet. Caline is very much along the lines of those classic aldehydic chypres of the 50s. It is a wonderful chypre. available Price: $ 250

ID 1042 Jean Patou 1000 1/4 oz sealed Parfum with boxes Click on each photo for larger view of it Beautiful vintage item and wonderful perfume. I love 1000 and you will too. This is the much sought after 1/4 oz Jadeite bottle and it feels mostly full. Authenticity tag around the neck. Includes the inner clear plastic box that protects the suede box. It has a code on the side of the box that could be related to the year of production, I believe it is from the 1980s. This particular bottle was discontinued and I don't know what year they stopped making it. There is shelf wear to the cellophane still covering the outer box and minor stains on the outer white box from years of storage. available Price: $ 150

ID 978 Jean Patou Joy 1/4 oz Parfum NIB Click on each photo for larger view of it Still sealed. This is from the year 1929 as evidenced by the lack of a control number on the card inside the box. First production run. Also notice the shoulders of the bottle are more square than bottles just a couple of years later. They changed the shape of the bottle slightly. It is in amazing condition. Foil label is in great condition. String still attached to bottle with onion skin underneath it. Bottle feels full and barely any evaporation. Tiny wear to the box, box is in wonderful condition. This is the French formula and not made in US. Made in France. This is about as good as you will ever find. Best formula. Best year. Best bottle. available Price: $ 120

ID 1121 Jean Patou Joy 1/2 oz Sealed Parfum with 2 boxes. NIB Click on each photo for larger view of it Created in 1930, Joy is the ultimate of perfumes. Intense and luscious with alluring floral composition, Joy was created by Henri Alméras, who made its top notes irresistibly delightful. The composition starts with a fragrant jilt of tuberose, luscious rose, ylang-ylang blossom, aldehydes, sweet and mouthwatering pear, and green notes. The heart beats passionately in pure and sweetly fresh jasmine notes, seductive and balmy spicy and darkened iris root. The drydown is sensual musk, warm and milky-powdery sandalwood, with mild musky civet tones. Great bottle for gift giving. Full bottle with barely any evaporation. Boxes are pristine. available Price: $ 160

ID 983 Jean Patou Joy 1/4 oz Parfum Purser Spray with box Click on each photo for larger view of it This is so cool.

The set is near pristine, just age and some outer wear to box. This is a spray and does still work. available Price: $ 40
