  Sublime, as its name suggests. It’s a perfume made for women, intense, powerful, warm, and very sweet. A 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 touches of Lou Lou by Cacharel. Elegant and unique, it was the signature of an auntie, and I smelled it again two years after 10 years, and it’s just as beautiful. The trail and longevity are brutal.

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

  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 luxury work. Plus, the longevity is incredible, the fixative works wonders, and the bottle is gorgeous. Perfect for women over 40.

  Its name says it all. I used it in the late 90s, recently they gifted it to me. I don’t know if it’s a vintage version, but its masterful structure remains intact.

  I bought it at 17, maybe 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, my teenage wannabe spirit kicked in and I couldn’t resist. Haha. It wasn’t cheap, so I made it last; I wore it all through college for nights out. I felt dreamy, a confident and mature femme fatale (at 20, haha), while my friends were wearing Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, or Versace. I felt different, and that’s what makes a scent special: jasmine and bergamot tied to amber. Would I buy it again? For sure, especially now that I’m older. Would I gift it? Only if it’s on sale 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 kicked in, how could I not buy it? Haha… and since it wasn’t 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 (at 20, haha) while my friends were roaming between Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Carolina Herrera, Versace, and Gucci; I felt different. Since it’s a special scent, linked jasmine and bergamot to amber. Would I buy it again? For sure (and especially now that I’m “older” haha)… Would I gift it? Only if I find a deal and for someone with a defined personality.

  Citrus? We started off wrong… I’ve never noticed it being citrusy xD. Sublime is another super-powerful 90s floral that smells of luxury and the light of a happy, sophisticated, and decisive woman, but more mature and sober. I wore it by a music teacher, and entering her classroom after leaving one that smelled like cheap stuff was like entering heaven. Floating a strong, creamy, golden, and sweetish cloud. Another yellow from the era, but without the fruits and spices of Dolce Vita, finer and less white than Carolina Herrera, without the loud flowers of Amarige and Poême. It gave me the sensation of being more formal and modest, with a majestic point. More for a quiet lady than an extroverted young girl. That teacher had a mean streak but was extremely sensitive. I think Sublime suited her perfectly, because between that ambery and creamy sweetness, there seemed to be vulnerability. I remember her face when I asked what she used: small, slanted eyes thinking the worst, haha. 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 one I’d give a deep, 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 don’t like smelling like baby colognes). Sublime, yes. The name suits it perfectly. It deserves more fame. Oh, and it doesn’t smell old. 10/10.

  When we thought Patou couldn’t offer anything more interesting, Sublime appears! It’s a loud 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 jewelry or gold accessories. It’s for that woman who doesn’t skimp, who loves beauty and uses her intense fragrance regardless of what others say. Wearing Sublime today is a challenge; it’s 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’s 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. Moving forward, 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 pretty house with a luxurious mansion.

  Holy mother of God! I just bought it at a touristy seaside town pharmacy, 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 splendor and has fallen in love with me.

  To me, it doesn’t seem anything like Poême. The Lancôme one is amber but leans toward a warm, almost genital heat due to the mimosa and narcissus, that sweet floral and sexual touch that isn’t in Patou’s Sublime. It’s not a bad perfume, but the opening is easy to overlook due to its bare and gummy air, like a cooking of fruity leathers and weird plastics. Fortunately, the heart is comfortable: citrus not for its flesh or acidity, but for bitter skins, lots of ylang to link it with other powdery classics, and a dry spicy amber. Here there is no sexual audacity of white and yellow flowers. I don’t like the accord notes on the card; they don’t define it. In my perception, it sums up to three things: powdery, rough, and amber/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 vanity perfume, a classic feminine powder with a velvet mist air and a spicy point. I wouldn’t wear it, but it’s not bad. It smells luxurious, but I’m sure 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 smelled it, and I liked it, although at 18 I thought it was a lady’s scent… but on my skin it was different. Since then, it can’t 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 is still noticeable on skin and clothes the next day. I use it mostly in winter to feel its warmth. At first, it’s a bit heavy, so don’t overdo it. If you’re looking for something fresh and youthful, it’s not for you. It’s classic but not outdated. The woman who wears it will be remembered for her good taste.

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

  I only had it in a small size a few years ago, exquisitely luxurious, with that beautiful bottle looking like a juicy fruit and a golden bud-shaped cap. As everyone says: majestic, lordly. From an era where perfumery demanded the highest standards of luxury and distinction. Quality and presence from tip to toe. Sober, softly sweet, with a powerful opening that doesn’t feel old. A classic in every sense. Worthy of taking tea with the Queen at any age.

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

  I’ve been hunting 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 expected an overwhelming floral with annoying ylang and a very feminine vibe, but I felt like the black sheep when I found it. It’s a handmade chypre, so well-constructed it’s hard to analyze. Feminine? Yes, but masculine like many chypres of the era due to its rich base, ideal for noses accustomed to vintage niche scents. It has that classic Chanel structure, with a refined patchouli that reminds me of Rue Cambon. It’s warm and resinous, without the typical flowers of Poison Elixir or the sweet bombs of the 90s. The rose pushes it toward oriental. Timeless, ageless, and genderless; it’s Kerléo’s hand with luxury ingredients. The drydown is brutal without losing that initial luminous brilliance. I can’t stop smelling it and I’ll be using it. On a man, it’s very attractive, reminding me of Manuel Cross’s unisex scents with a retro vibe. Patou was the ultimate expression of luxury that has now disappeared. Review of an EDT from 1992. Box with short ingredients list and a tulip-shaped cap bottle.
