  Sublime, as its name suggests. It is a perfume made for women, intense, powerful, warm and very sweet. Sweet floral, the strongest notes are lily, jasmine and magnolia, crossed with the green of coriander giving way to the warmth of spices. A 100% late 80s perfume. It reminds me of Narcisse by Chloé, Poème by Lancôme and some touches of Lou Lou by Cacharel. Elegant and unique, it was the signature of an aunt and I smelled it again two years after 10 years and it is still as beautiful. The trail and longevity are brutal.

  What luck to have this perfume arrive as a surprise in my shop! I was looking for a gift that would make an impact and I succeeded. It was a total hit. On the skin it explodes spectacularly, with a powerful, feminine and free opening, like those women who go through life with their hair down, leaving an unforgettable trail. You will never forget that scent. Elegant, distinguished, notable but classy. An aroma for few, but Patou shone.

  Sublime is a gem: fresh, clean, sweet and romantic, but above all elegant. I wore it in the 90s for special occasions and it never failed. Jean Patou did a luxury job. Plus, the longevity is incredible, the fixative works wonderfully and the bottle is gorgeous. Ideal for women over 40.

  Its name says it all. I used it in the late 90s, recently they gave it to me. I do not know if it is a vintage version, but its masterful structure remains intact.

  I bought it at 17, was it 1995? On a shopping day in the USA, the saleswoman showed me Sublime and it seemed different to me. I loved it, but when she said Jean Patou was one of the best perfumers, the teenage wannabe spirit took over and I couldn’t resist. Haha. It wasn’t cheap, so I made it last; I used it all through university for going out at night. I felt dreamy, a confident and mature femme fatale (at 20, haha) while my friends wore Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss or Versace. I felt different and that is a special aroma, jasmine and orange blossom tied to amber. Would I buy it again? Sure, especially now that I am older. Would I gift it? Only if it’s on offer and for someone with a defined personality.

  I was 17 when I bought it… 1995? On a shopping day in the USA, looking for perfume, the saleswoman showed me Sublime and it seemed different from what I had… I loved it! But when she said Jean Patou was one of the best perfumers, the post-teen wannabe spirit entered, how not to buy it? Hahaha… and since it was not cheap, I made it last a long time. I used it all through university for night outings, I felt dreamy, a confident and mature femme fatale (20 years old, hahaha) while my friends ranged between Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Carolina Herrera, Versace and Gucci; I felt different. As it is a special scent, jasmine and bergamot linked to amber. Would I buy it again? Surely (and more now that I am “older” hahaha)… Would I give it away? Only if I find a deal and for someone with a defined personality.

  When we thought Patou could not offer anything more interesting, Sublime appears! It is a strident and complex floral from the 90s, part of that 90/95 generation that opposed aquatic and simple trends. Sublime is pure luxury, from the box and bottle to the scent. Few fragrances smell so sophisticated and make me think of jewels or gold accessories. It is for that woman who does not skimp, who loves beauty and uses her intense scent regardless of what people say. Wearing Sublime today is a challenge, it is a dense, powdery, complex and extremely persistent floral. But this is a strength against the current offer of weak and repetitive structures. Upon application, there is a fight between bergamot and the dual orange/mandarin; bergamot wins at the start but loses to the brilliance of the orange-mandarin. Accompanied by warm amber, prominent ylang and intense musk with rose sparkles, all wrapped in a sophisticated powdery halo. Advancing, patchouli is detected in the base. Definitely one of the most refined, opulent and elegant of the 90s. Comparing Sublime with Poême is comparing a nice house with a luxurious mansion.

  Citrus? We started badly… I’ve never noticed it citrus xD. Sublime is another super powerful 90s floral that smells of luxury and the light of a happy, sophisticated and determined woman, but more mature and sober. I wore it by a music teacher and entering her classroom after leaving one that smelled of cheap stuff was like entering heaven. Levitating a strong, creamy, golden and sweetish cloud. Another yellow of the era, but without the fruits and spices of Dolce Vita, finer and less white than Carolina Herrera, without the strident flowers of Amarige and Poême. It woke me up with the feeling of being more formal and modest, with a majestic point. More for a quiet lady than for an extroverted young girl. That teacher had a bad temper but was extremely sensitive. I think Sublime suited her perfectly, because between that ambery sweetness and creaminess there seemed to be vulnerability. I remember her face when I asked what she used: small, slanted eyes thinking the worst, hahaha. There was a La Toja gel that reminded me of it a lot. Do I see it similar to Poême? Generally yes, but I see Sublime as more contained and correct, less wild. To the Lancôme I would put a deep and high voice, and to Sublime the voice of Lauren Bacall. Anyone can wear it, but I see Sublime especially appropriate for older ladies, because it smells luxurious, experienced… serene (I do not like smelling like baby colognes). Sublime, yes. The name suits it perfectly. It deserves greater fame. Oh, and it does not smell old. 10/10.

  Holy mother of God! I just bought it in a touristy seaside town chemist, given away as a bargain. It is sublimely beautiful, exquisite and luxurious, opulent. Orange, rose, mandarin and ylang stood out on my skin. It is pure magnificence and it has fallen in love with me.

  To me it does not seem anything like Poême. The Lancôme is ambery, but leans towards a licorice warmth and almost genital due to the mimosa and narcissus, that sweet floral and sexual touch that is not in Patou’s Sublime. It is not a bad perfume, but you overlook the opening due to its bare and gummy air, like a cooking of fruity skins and weird plastics. Fortunately the middle phase is comfortable: citrus not due to its flesh or acidity, but due to bitter skins, lots of ylang to link it with other powdery old ones and a dry spicy amber. Here there is no sexual shamelessness of the white and yellow flowers. I do not like the chords on the card, they do not define it. In my perception it sums up in three: powdery, rough and ambery/cold. It was born in the sixties, thirty years after Sublime. In the nineties classics were more exuberant and carnal with cinnamon and sandalwood. This is a dressing table perfume, a classic feminine powder with a velvet mist air and a spicy point. I would not wear it, but it is not bad. It smells luxurious, but surely the launch era played against it.

  I met Sublime by Jean Patou in 1994 when my French teacher sold it to a student. She said it was good, I heard it and I liked it, although at 18 I thought it was for ladies… but on my skin it was different. Since then it cannot be missing from my stock: warm, elegant, refined, luxurious, interesting and very feminine, without being scandalous. A bottle lasts years; with just a few drops on wrists, neck and behind ears, it lasts all day and the next day it is still noticeable on skin and clothes. I use it more in winter to feel its warmth. At first it weighs a bit, so do not overuse it. If you are looking for something fresh and youthful, it is not for you. It is classic but not outdated. The woman who wears it will be remembered for her good taste.

  Sublime completes the trio of queens with Joy and 1000 by Patou. These are fragrances that will become myths due to their quality and conception, especially now that LVMH has closed Patou, French history and heritage. Better name for a perfume? Sublime is possibly the most current of the three, sublime on paper (lasts days) or on skin. A woman or girl, because it doesn’t understand ages, it is current and timeless, but it distils elegance and class. It requires carriage, not necessarily luxurious clothes; it is achieved with good taste and simple garments; elegance is a virtue, not something you buy. It is very feminine, in the classic style. As it requires carriage, Sublime gives you carriage. It feels quality, distinguished, with weight, depth and body. It starts slightly citrusy with a spicy touch, the sweetness of ylang is tempered, then it is a powdery floral dominated by rose and jasmine, finishing sweet with ambery flowers. Maximum quality, the antithesis of commercial synthetic. Everything in Sublime is sublime. I hope LVMH respects its memory and does not prostitute the name as they did with Joy (fortunately 1000 is not very commercial). Au revoir.

  I only had it years ago in a small size, exquisitely luxurious, with a beautiful bottle that looks like a juicy fruit and a golden cap shaped like a bud. Everyone already says it: majestic, ‘señorial’ is the word. From an era where perfumery represented the highest standards of luxury and distinction. Quality and presence from tip to toe. Sober, softly sweet and with a powerful attack without seeming old or outdated. A classic beyond compare. Worthy of wearing it to have afternoon tea with the Queen at any age.

A classic in every sense. Dignified enough to wear to afternoon tea with the Queen at any age.

  I’d been searching for this scent for my collection for ages. Jean Kerléo is the king of Les Parfumeurs and has never disappointed me. This one left me speechless. I thought it would be an overwhelming floral with annoying ylang and very feminine, but I felt like the black sheep when I found it. It is a handmade chypre, so well-constructed that it’s hard to analyse. Feminine? Yes, but masculine like so many chypres of the era due to its rich base, ideal for noses accustomed to vintage niche. It has that typical Chanel structure, with a refined patchouli that reminds me of Rue Cambon. It’s warm and resinous, without those typical flowers of Poison Elixir or the sweet bombs of the 90s. The rose pushes it towards the oriental. Timeless, ageless and genderless, it is Kerléo’s hand with luxury ingredients. The dry down is brutal without losing the initial luminous brilliance. I can’t stop smelling it and I will use it. On a man, it’s very attractive, reminding me of Manuel Cross unisexes with a retro air. Patou was the ultimate expression of luxury, now gone. Review of an EDT from 1992. Box with short ingredients and a tulip-shaped cap.
