Jean Patou COLONY vintage parfum

Colony was a 1938 launch from the house of Jean Patou, composed by perfumer Henri Almeras. This Chypre Fruity fragrance has a scent profile of woody, sweet, fruity, yellow floral, leather, aromatic, musky, floral, amber, and earthy. 

Colony was originally created as an "homage to the French colonies," and as such has a fruity and tropical nature.

The version offered here is a bottle from the 1984 re-release as a part of the Ma Collection, a limited edition release of 12 of Jean Patou's earliest releases. These perfumes were recreated extremely faithfully to their original counterparts by Jean Patou perfumer Jean Kerleo.

Offered is a 30ml bottle of pure parfum, vintage new in the Ma Collection box, full and unused with 100% fill.
