PanAme Jean Patou for women

Ah, a closeout favorite, now sadly long off of the shelves. It was a fashionable, sporty urban chic venture into the next century with Maison Patou. It barely had a chance to catch on befor it was yanked from the market.

The bottle is a tribute to Sublime and the contents are less romantic, yet no less very French in character. The violet, pear and oakmoss combine with the sandalwood effortlessly creating a fresh, "on the go" scent-shopping, cool weather vacations and transAtlantic flights.

Where did style and fashion retreat to? This should have been a bestseller!

Actually I was a bit disappointed after first minutes of application - my first Patou test - but fortunately the fragrance developed into an interesting fruit floral - definitely mature one in a good meaning of this word. I see a woman about 40 wearing PanAme, but not necessarily. I don't think the fragrance is exactly my cup of tea, but certainly it has something interesting in itself.

Ingredients in PanAme are well blended, nothing is too much or too little. I can detect all listed ones but what I can sniff the most is pear, linden blossom, oakmoss, sandalwood and violet, none of them stands aside. PanAme is light orange - green in my imagination, something like fruit, flowers and their stem altogether. All is a bit lacquered - again in a good sense of the meaning, fruit can even be not mature yet - and that's interesting because all in all the fragrance seems mature :)

A bit powdery, slightly sweet, subtle fragrance. Suitable for all seasons, but I guess it will be the best to wear it in a daytime. All in all, not exactly my type of perfume, but thumbs must be up :)

I agree this is an adult fruity-floral fragrance. It begins in a very fruity way, with a great pear accord (I feel less peach here), than morphs into a sweet, likeable floral-fruity frag with woody undertones - I mainly feel the sandalwood, fortunately can't detect the musk at all. I have a little sample, unfortunately bigger one is not available here, so I use it sparingly. Nothing unique, but really good quality - Patou... Has good longevity and sillage on my skin, maybe enough not only for summer but for chilly days, too.

This opens with a wonderful real pear note, that's not too sweet, and then joined by a hint of peach. After that it becomes sweetly green, like newly unfurled leaves, with a hint of moss and musk to temper things in the base. A well constructed, un-childish fruity floral that makes for a great summer fragrance.

Can't find anything larger than 1 oz...ugh. I guess it's better than nothing.

I like it a lot!It starts with lots of fresh pear and lemmon blossos ,than it settles to romantic powdery violets with peach sweetness and little moss trown in.Beautiful.Very good lasting power

Flirty, fruity, but not childish at all!That's Pan Ame. The pear, the violet and the oakmoss are the most dominant elements in this fragrant composition.Although fruities are preferred mainly in summertime, this one could be worn all year round.

Pan Ame has the same bottle with my beloved Un Amour, but in different colours. Someone would expect them to be identical, but in my opinion they are not. Un Amour is definietely a floral, while Pan Ame is more on the fruity side.

The bad news are that the sample had almost zero lasting power on my skin. Pity, I would love to buy and use this as an everyday fragrance....
