Colony Jean. Badu

Colony Jean. Badu by Jean-Patou is a 1938 chypre fruity composed by Henri Almeras. The pyramid opens with pineapple and ylang-ylang, segues into a ylang-ylang heart, and rests on a base of leather and musk. This structure yields a scent that is predominantly woody (100%) and sweet (98%), with fruity (67%), yellow floral (65%), leather (59%), and aromatic (58%) facets. Collectors should expect a vintage chypre where the bright, tropical fruit is tempered by the floral and leathery depths, creating a complex, mature profile. It suits those who appreciate classic fruity chypres with a leathery backbone, especially for evening wear or cool-weather occasions. The presence of ylang-ylang in both top and heart adds a persistent floral richness, while the pineapple lends a tart sweetness that evolves over time. This fragrance is a rare example of late 1930s perfumery, appealing to enthusiasts of historical scents and those who favor bold, woody-floral compositions with a leathery finish.
