About this fragrance

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

Vacances Jean. Badu by Jean-Patou is a 1936 floral green composition that opens with the crisp, honeyed bite of hyacinth and hawthorn. The heart unfolds into a lush bouquet of lilac and mimosa, anchored by the bitter, sappy greenness of galbanum. This creates a vivid springtime accord that feels both fresh and powdery, with a subtle spicy undertone. The absence of listed base notes suggests a fragrance that stays close to its floral heart, likely fading into a soft, skin-like finish.

Collectors of vintage florals will appreciate its historical significance and the way it captures a specific moment in perfumery—when green notes were beginning to add realism to traditional bouquets. It suits those who enjoy classic, unapologetically feminine scents with a natural, garden-like quality. Ideal for spring and early summer days, it wears well for daytime elegance and pairs with a vintage aesthetic. This is a rare piece for anyone who values the craftsmanship of early 20th-century perfumery.

中文簡介

Jean-Patou 1936年推出的 Vacances Jean. Badu,係一款花香綠色調女香。前調以風信子同山楂嘅清甜帶蜜感揭開序幕,中調轉為丁香、含羞草嘅柔美花束,並以白松香嘅苦綠氣息貫穿,營造出春日花園般嘅鮮明對比。整體粉質感明顯,帶少許辛辣,基調雖未標明,但估計留香偏短,最終化為貼膚嘅輕柔餘韻。適合鍾情古典花香、追求自然綠意嘅收藏家,尤其喺春季或初夏日間使用,能展現優雅復古氣質。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
