Adieu Sagesse, Jean Patou's first perfume
Adieu Sagesse… When the body surrenders
Jean Patou is a well-known personality from the early twentieth century. Indeed, he very quickly built a fine reputation in the world of haute couture. Nevertheless, in 1925, he was one of the first couturiers to venture into the world of perfumery. In fact, he closely followed Mademoiselle Chanel, who had already turned to this field a few years earlier. However, in order to assert his originality, Jean Patou did not launch one but three fragrances. These symbolised three key moments in love. Que Sais-Je ? is the symbolic perfume of the instant when the mind questions itself. Deux Amours is the one where the heart races. Finally, Adieu Sagesse is the fragrance of letting go. It paints the image of a woman surrendering and succumbing to passion in a true surge of emotions. In this sense, it is a perfume that exalts the seductive nature of the woman who wears it.
Jean Patou's bouquet of white flowers
Thus, in order to symbolise the emotion of women, Jean Patou and Henri Alméras, the perfumers behind this creation, decided to craft a kind of concentrated blend of white flowers. As a result, Adieu Sagesse leaves behind a floral perfume of intense purity. It is entirely built around the heady scent of gardenia. Its top notes are nonetheless accompanied by the lightness of lily of the valley. The heart, for its part, highlights the luminosity of neroli and jonquil. The carnation then contrasts the whole with its slightly spicy nuance. Finally, the base of Adieu Sagesse reveals itself to be more opulent and suave. It releases the elegance of tuberose and opoponax while enriching them with the sensual animality of civet and musk. As for the bottle, originally, Adieu Sagesse was housed in a case made by Baccarat and designed by Louis Süe and André Mare, iconic artists of the Art Deco period. However, this prestigious bottle has since been replaced. Indeed, since 2014, Adieu Sagesse has been part of the Héritage collection of the Jean Patou brand and therefore adopts the bottle common to the entire range.
