Jean Patou 1000 vintage parfum 15ml flacon (empty)

1000 by Jean Patou is a perfumery classic fragrance, first launched in 1972 as a "super Joy." Per Grace Hummel of Cleopatra's Boudoir 1000 was named after its lab number: it was the 1,000th attempt to nail the vision of Jean Patou and Jean Kerleo. Like its sibling Joy, 1000 relied on some exceptionally grand ingredients. "Known as "the essence of extravagance," the 1000 scent is made from a jasmine essence that takes over seven million flowers to produce a single kilogram," and the miniscule three week bloom of Osmanthus limited its production, resulting in a highly exclusive fragrance.

• A 15ml flacon at approximately 90% fill level, still sealed with the cord, and new in the box. This bottle has a lot number of 8093842, corresponding to a production date of 1983. This bottle is in exceptional condition. Photos 1-5.
• A 15ml flacon, unboxed, and thus lacking a lot number. Approximately 97% full, this bottle also retains its original cord seal, and is decorated with a velvet ribbon. Photos 6 & 7.
• Samples from a contemporaneous bottle.
