Sublime by Jean Patou: launched in 1992 and created by Jean Kerleo.
Jean Kerleo, creator of Sublime, thinks of it as evoking the spirit of a woman at that moment she is most radiant, generous, sensual, loving...in one word, sublime.
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a chypre floral fragrance for women with dominant notes of carnation, ylang ylang and sandalwood. This complex floral symphony counterpoints the delicate notes of rose, jasmine, lily of the valley and orange blossom with the warm, amber musks and muted vanilla notes, blended to create a magical essence.
Available in the following:
The eau de parfum bottle is topped with a gilded floriform cap, the eau de toilette bottle has an opaque white floriform cap. A limited edition 30ml eau de parfum was released in a bottle with a rich gilded finish, this version is known as 'Edition Limitee Or'.
Please note that the new square bottle version (circa 2006) is the reformulated version made without the oakmoss. These are 2.5 oz (75ml) bottles in both eau de parfum and eau de toilette.
