About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Moment Suprême is a 1929 Oriental Floral from Jean Patou, built on a fresh-spicy opening of lavender, geranium, and bergamot. The lavender is not the clean, modern kind but a rougher, more aromatic presence, sharpened by geranium's green bite and bergamot's citrus lift. As it settles, the heart turns warm and clove-driven, with jasmine and rose adding a full, old-fashioned floral richness. The base is not documented, but the main accords suggest a lingering spicy warmth that carries the florals into a soft, resinous finish.

This is a scent for collectors who appreciate early twentieth-century structure: bold, direct, and unapologetically perfumed. It suits someone who enjoys vintage Guerlain or Caron but wants something less familiar. The clove and lavender make it more striking in cool weather; in heat, it can feel heavy. Because the base notes are unknown, expect some mystery in the drydown. Ideal for evening wear or formal occasions, and for anyone drawn to the aromatic-spicy side of the Oriental floral family.

中文簡介

Moment Suprême 係 1929 年 Jean Patou 出品嘅東方花香調香水。前調以薰衣草、天竺葵同佛手柑組成,薰衣草唔係現代乾淨嗰種,而係帶粗糙草本感,加上天竺葵嘅綠意同佛手柑嘅柑橘清新。中調轉為溫暖丁香,茉莉同玫瑰添上豐厚古典花香。基調無記載,但主要 accord 顯示留香係辛辣暖意,將花香帶入柔和樹脂感。

適合鍾情二十世紀初香水結構嘅收藏家,大膽直接、花香濃郁。鍾意舊 Guerlain 或 Caron 但想試冷門啲嘅人會啱。丁香同薰衣草令佢喺涼爽天氣更突出,炎熱時可能偏重。基調神秘,乾燥階段有驚喜。夜晚或正式場合用最合適,亦適合鍾意芳香辛辣東方花香嘅人。
