Jean Patou

5 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Jean Patou range is made of

Across the 5 Jean Patou fragrances Zenyra has mapped, the materials that recur most are clary sage (40%), lavender (40%), tuberose (40%). No single note dominates, which is itself a choice — this is a house that works across a palette rather than around a signature material.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads more textured than the catalogue as a whole: texture averages 0.53 against 0.48 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

The Jean Patou range spreads 0.122 across the five axes — neither a house built on one idea nor one that covers the whole map. There is a recognisable centre with real variation around it.

The median release year across the mapped range is 1980, which means most of what defines this house was made before the reformulations of the 2000s.
