Hip Jean Patou for women

I am wearing it now. And this is official now: another beautiful Patou creation. Amazing staying power for EDT: 6 hours at least. Totally love it!
every time I wear a Patou, i am in heaven...it's incredible what an impact his fragrances have on me.

Hip is just such a typical Patou....I could reconize him with my eyes closed. For some reason it reminds me of both Enjoy and Sira Des Indes a little, which means I am in love with it. But it could be because i only tried it on my wrist so far and mostly catching the so-called "Patou" note.
I will add more, after I wear it properly.

Ok,I was right. Hip and Enjoy do have some similarities, but at the same time they are different. Enjoy is headier and has more sweetness to it, while Hip is less sweet but spicy an peppery, kind of like Ferragamo.

Since Hip is discontinued and the prices for it are astronomical, I would say don't go broke over it. Buy more affordable Enjoy instead. But if you like Patou fragrances and find a good deal, grab it without a second thought!
I think i just lucked out to get a brand new tester for $ 25.

As I know, the Patou house carried out Hip (together with Nacre) limited for the American market and it's always been on my "For test" list. Since I'm into notes of paprika, pepper, saffron and ginger in perfumes I was wondering how it smells like.
Sadly, I didn't get anything like paprika, but the fragrance itself didn't disappoint me. How could it, it is a Patou :)
Hip is classified as floral fruity and it is indeed a less serious, but more joyous Patou.
Its opening is a duo of grapefruit and pear spiced with a hint of pepper, in its floral heart the rose is combined with ylang-ylang and lime-blossom. This fruity-floral dominion breezely remains in the drydown in harmony with the ginger and sandalwood.
A new love of mine and there is no doubt about that I will often reach for it over the summer.
