The smell colonized my mailbox Jesus

Colony by Jean PatouJean PatouColony4.213 ratings

This is a BIG pineapple ester bomb with a great woody counterpoint to it. This reminds me of the structure, not the smell, of Feminite du Bois and is more like Dolce Vita (two woody fruity legends). This is an early woody fruity I GUESS chypre but I think it defies categorization.

1970’s Eau de Toilette; unopened no box from eBay for ~$160 (?)

Top: Pineapple with a quality of guava/papaya and some lavender

Heart: the pineapple accord, more pronounced and abrasive lavender, and the beautiful Oaky woodsy tones that are the foil to the pineapple, that also smell of the skin and leaves a bit— very cool.

Base: Woods and strong musks, clearly doe urine type in a great way because it matches the slight garbage funk of the pineapple accord. It becomes much mossier and Oaky at the end and the musk is there but not as pronounced once the pineapple accord has left the Colony.

Masterful and delightful HOT PERSON SUMMER FRAGRANCE!!!

      Thank you! I love it so much, a shame it doesn’t last as long and is discontinued because I would otherwise drench myself in it in this 99°F heat!

    Man, I’d love to travel to the 70’s for tons of reasons, great music and fashion, and now for the cool and original perfumes that came from those funky funky times. I love this description, and your collection is truly blessed with this one!

      The design of the bottle is 100000% 70’s and the scent is indeed groovy but actually was made in 1938 and inspired by the iconic Josephine Baker!

      Oh man, what a pedigree 💜🍌
