The SACRED CHALICE of Women's Perfumes, the QUEEN of them all.

In the history of perfumes, three fragrances have been counterfeited (imitations – fraud) so extensively: Chanel No. 5, Patou's JOY, and 1000 (Mille), also by Patou. Be very careful; the existing products, especially those by Patou, are extremely scarce on the global market. As a saying here in Greece goes, keep your eyes wide open.  

The fragrance of absolute luxury, liquid gold

1000 (Mille), a fragrance so rare, unique, velvety, and incredibly expensive.

Patou's son-in-law, Raymond Barbas, asked Kerleo to create something unique, a work of art, something more than a fragrance. The fragrance was created after many years of trials, during which 1,000 different laboratory blends were produced and rejected; in honor of this, the fragrance was named 1000.

An iconic, transparent, luminous bottle in shades of gold and crystal, designed by architects Louis Süe and Andre Mare, following the Golden Ratio (the Divine Proportion) of the GREEK mathematician EUCLID, applying mathematics to art in the belief that it is aesthetically pleasing.

Silk and velvet inner lining, with the Patou logo on the front. Inside is a label bearing the production code and the code for this particular product, stating that the fragrance is made from natural flower extracts of such richness and concentration as has rarely been achieved anywhere on Planet Earth. Possible color variations or microscopic particles in the suspension do not compromise the quality of this fragrance.

INFORMATION : Rare animal ingredients: civet (Civettictis civetta) and musk (Moschus moschiferus – Tibet), exceptional materials with unique fixative properties for the fragrance.

Rare botanical materials: Viola odorata, Rosa centifolia, Jasmine grandiflorum, Santalwood (Mysore), and especially Osmanthus. The Patou family purchased land in China's Guangxi province (Guilin), where osmanthus thrives, and cultivated the plant. It flowers for only a few days each year. They set up a facility for distilling and extracting the flowers, and the material was shipped via Canton–Hong Kong to Patou's laboratory in Levallois.

Jasmine : Seven million flowers for 1 kilogram of essential oil.

Osmanthus (Kwei hwa mo hsi) : Three thousand (3,000) kilograms of flowers for 1 kilogram of absolute essential oil obtained by extraction.

Osmanthus flowers are small, four-petaled, creamy white or, less commonly, orange. Their sweet fragrance evokes ripe apricots and pineapple. 

The product was distributed in Greece by LAPAFARM S.A. PHARMACEUTICAL AND COSMETICS INDUSTRY, 73 Menandrou Street, Athens, and we had exclusive sales rights as authorized distributors.

This product has absolutely nothing to do with products in the same box, with the same appearance and name. We are talking about entirely different products in terms of reliability and quality. As the saying goes, you can't tell a brush from a broom. Perfumer Jean Kerleo retired in 1999, and in 2001 the family sold the company; after that, it was the end.

ÁÁÁ      EDITION

As you will see in the photo section, there are no pictures of the inside of the box or the bottle, because it would not be right to do so and deprive the buyer-collector of the joy and pleasure of being the first to open a product after many decades.

The inviolable rule is that Parfums / Extrait must not be opened.

Using one of our own products, we show you the inside of the box and Patou's luxurious Extrait 1000 bottle.
