Is 1000 by Jean Patou still in production?+−
No, Jean Patou was discontinued around 2020. This fragrance is now increasingly difficult to find, and remaining bottles are highly sought after by collectors.
How does 1000 compare to Jean Patou Joy?+−
While Joy is a lush, world-famous celebration of rose and jasmine, 1000 is darker, woodier, and more complex. It trades some of Joy's floral sweetness for the earthy, bitter tones of oakmoss, osmanthus, and violet leaf.
Is this a good choice for a modern office environment?+−
1000 is quite potent and "vintage" in style. Because it features a strong oakmoss and floral-animalic profile, it may be perceived as too intense for conservative offices. It is best suited for evening wear or situations where you want to make a sophisticated, personal statement.
What season is best for wearing 1000?+−
Most enthusiasts prefer 1000 in the cooler months of fall and winter. Its creamy sandalwood, patchouli, and spicy floral notes provide a sense of warmth and depth that can be overwhelming in high summer heat.
