Enjoy

The first thing that came to my mind when i sprayed it on my wrists was "wow, this is some quality stuff!" It gives me the same feeling of luxury as Allure Sensuelle, but i will be able to process and finalize my feelings about it by the end of the day. It'd better be good, because i got in the habit of buying large bottles of fragrances that i believe i would potentially like. Updated review: This is a gorgeous fragrance! My first Patou and it well lived up to my expectations. Once you apply it, completely ignore the harsh notes that fly in your face as they dissipate within a couple of mintutes. You can tell after 5 minutes by its deepness that the sillage and staying power are going to be through the roof( which is always a good thing as long as you and the people around you enjoy the scent. 4 sprays for me and i can enjoy being enveloped in the veil of this beautiful scent without constantly sniffing my wrists for an extra boost. Enjoy is a very elegant and sophisticated scent. So French and complex...it makes me feel like a million dollars. I see a lot of fruit notes here, but they are blended with the flowery accord so well that it's hard to recognize them. It is more flowery on me, with vanilla, amber and musk joining in the drydown. It is definitely a scent for colder months as it is very warm and might be too overpowering in the hot weather. I would say it is more suitable for evenings or special occasions, but can be worn during the day as well.....as long as you are not dressed too casually, then it will definitely "smell" out of place. I would classify Enjoy as a mature fragrance, meaning it's definitely not for the teens. i think it would be more appropriate for someone in their late twenties and older. But again, if you put it on while wearing jeans and sneakers, regardless of age, i can assure you, you will stick out like a sore thumb everywhere you go. And one more thing, make sure you don't test it on a paper card and apply it properly on your skin....or it won't develop, and I have a feeling will be more along the lines of a bug spray. Highly recommended!!!!!

I bought a sample of this during the winter thinking the fruity notes would cheer me up on gloomy days. But I totally hated it. There was a note, maybe musk, maybe patchouli, not sure that was very irritating. I was disappointed because it sounded very exotic & unique and because I know that Patou's scents are generally very high quality. I was going to give the sample spray away to a friend that I figured might like it. But two weeks ago when I still had not gotten rid of it I decided to spray it on my wrist again to see what note it could possibly be that bugged me so much. But this time there was no annoying note. I was ecstatic! I finally get to "enjoy" this scent, no pun intended. I can't believe I'm saying this, but, I love the banana note. I absolutely abhor banana candy, so this is so unusual for me to find this scent so pleasant. I don't think I've ever smelled a perfume where this fruit has been integrated so well with the other ingredients, or not smelled artificial. It smells very natural, but not like a really ripe banana, as has been stated previously. It does smell like a slightly green banana that has just a tinge of sweetness. The blackcurrant note is the icing on the cake for me, blending so well with the banana & floral notes. I can't believe that this fume smells so different when applied in warm weather. It's so lovely. I highly recommend to any floral lover, or anybody that wants to smell beautiful & stand apart from the rest of the crowd. Very elegant & original fragrance.Very ladylike. I'm definitely buying a bottle asap, as this will be my signature fragrance until the weather gets cool again & its tempermental personality comes back to haunt me. Update: 12/21/12: I'm still loving this & wear it often, so glad I found it, the quality is excellent and longevity is easily 6-8 hrs. on me. The fruitiness really stands out to me, & I would almost argue that this should be considered a Chypre Fruity instead, but I think it may depend on skin chemistry and perspective. 5/5 stars

I bought this one by mistake when I wanted to order the original Joy(which I LOVE),not a bad mistake as I enjoy Enjoy a lot too and normally I'd never consider buying it as I'm not a chypre fan and the idea of rose-black current-patchouli didn't seem intriguing to me Enjoy EDP is an example of a well crafted fruitchouli.it may put you off when first sprayed as it opens with a harsh,bitterish musky-patchouli but give it 5-10 minutes and it will settle down to a cheerful yet refined blend of rose and black current with some green banana and pear creamyness wrapped by a subtle patchouli and just a hint of non-offensive musk.it really is beautiful and charming,not old by any means but sophisticated Enjoy is wearable year round.lasts for ages and has a lovely sillage Jean patou is soon becoming one of my favorite perfume houses,it's a shame that it's perfumes are so difficult to find here Give it a try even if you're not a fan of patchouli,rose and black current like me By the way don't blindbuy it if you're looking for a strong banana scent.it's not as banana dominant as Cira یه ترکیب فوق العاده زیبا و جذاب و خانومانه و پرکاربرد از رز و انگورفرنگی و پچولی،کمی هم موز کال و گلابی نرم و مشک بی آزار تو پس زمینه..اصلا از اون عطرهای خیلی میوه ایه کاسه ی میوه طور تصورش نکنید موندگاری و پخش خیلی خوب،قابل استفاده چهارفصل و مناسب عطر امضا شدن باعث شرمه ک عطرهای ژان پاتو انقد تو ایران کم یابن

Oh, my goodness! Imagine Shirley Temple saying that in a movie where she's an adorable little girl. This expresses my impression of the fragrance in a nutshell! This scent is aromatherapy of joy! It functions like an antidepressant for me- a really good one! It is energizing, uplifting, and fun! When I put this on, I smell memories from childhood- roses and jasmine, a hug from a beloved free-spirit uncle, old books, cat breath, blackberries, banana fruit salad, fresh potting soil, something camphorous, and grand-ma's kitchen. All that...and yet this scent manages to be sophisticated as well! Somehow it gives me a feeling of being younger than I am, on vacation, in a warm and sunny place. I'm sitting at the prow of a yacht, as forward deck as I can get, holding onto the silver railing, with a roll of rope for a seat. A strong sea breeze is blowing and the boat is throwing up sea spray that is hitting my face as we slap into the heavy swells. I'm laughing as I put my legs out to dangle over the ocean. Life is good, Daddy is at the helm, Catalina Island is just ahead, and dolphins are swimming right beside me!

ENJOY is a casual floral fruity fragrance, not a kind of sweet teen type but a more mature one. It strikes me with a medium-high nauseating kick in the first 5 minutes. But you know that you shouldn’t give up on this perfume yet because it carries hidden promising scent. I can detect the bittersweet orange and blackcurrant notes which soon transforms to all time favorites; jasmine-rose combination. At this point the middle notes took quite some time to develop, which I enjoy so much because I’m more of a floral fanatic than a fruity lover. Then minutes after, this floral notes is slowly wrapped by a very light musk, creating soft and warm scent perfect for all day use. ENJOY works from the beginning of the day with jeans and plain white shirt or lunch break with friends in a classy modern dress, up to formal occasion with your favorite little black dress. Although it’s suitable for any women, I think this perfume would do best for women of elegance. I’d pictured Kate Winslet or Rachel Wiesz wearing this perfume. Above all, ENJOY is truly enjoyable all day long and just classy as it can gets.

I woke up this morning wondering, "Wow, what is that beautiful fragrance I'm smelling?" Then I remembered spraying Enjoy only on 1 wrist several hours before bedtime. This was 12 hours earlier! Before bed I remember thinking that it smelled like a musky rose scent, the only banana I got from it was a slight smell like green banana peel...now it reminds me of the best part of Ellen Tracy by Ellen Tracy. Don't think for a moment it smelled like that during the first hours though. I would have laughed at anyone who even suggested it. Only now, after 12 or more hours is that what I get. A beautiful fragrance from beginning to end. Very grown up and classic scent. I can't imagine one of my daughters wearing this...yet!

Be very careful to ask for the batch code and storage before purchasing this, as it's hard to find a bottle that isn't spoiled. This can either be the absolute worst thing you ever smell, or the very best ever. It just doesn't tend to age well, I guess, and or maybe they just aren't currently in production. Our trade routes are completely whack in the US. Any serious collectors please dm me for sample exchange and inventory

Lovely chypre floral with good lasting power, without being offensive or headache inducing. I can't smell much banana or black currant when I'm wearing it, but don't mind since I prefer floral notes over sweet fruity ones. I think Enjoy is more suited to warmer weather, like Spring, but could also be a nice pick-me-up in cooler weather. It's both a modern and classic scent, definately worth a try if you're curious.

A soapish beging but in a few seconds dries to a scent of black current tart and suble sweet banana it's refreshed with cassia and orange to make it zesty and the pear makes it smooth. for me in perfumes i'v always have a hard time detecting eather the rose or the jasmine notes. the drydown is with the usual mix of amber and musk with an occasional vanilla.

I came for the banana (there is none), and stayed for the blackcurrant/cassis (there is much). The lovechild of Connexion Lancôme and Rose Cardin; I absolutely love it.

I love this, it makes me feel so glamorous and sexy. Great for both day and night and for all seasons. Only downside is it didn't take long for it to go stale..

absolutely amazing..unique and very original!

Regular Joy is too sweet for me. I love this however. I pretty much hate most of the "new" perfumes out now, and find myself returning to things I loved 15 or more years ago. I hate anything that gives off what I affectionately call the "crazy cat lady cat piss" smell ( I would include things like L'Air du Temps in this category; along with bargain drugstore classics like jean nate, and many many Estee Lauder ones except I do like the original Pleasures and some of the modern variants). I prefer sophisticated, complex perfumes, and Enjoy is exactly that. No one will mistake you for someone who ever bought Ed Hardy tee shirts, nor will they instantly know what you are wearing like with certain popular perfumes like Clinique Happy, all of Burberry, or even Marc Jacobs lately. I find most current fragrances very very young, sweet, and this emphasis on the uber CLEAN crisp notes is boring. I want perfume that is exotic, nuanced, and even a little dirty. My favorites are usually from thierry Mugler- Alien/Star/Angel/Angel innocent. Enjoy is feminine without being cloying, pretty without being immature or "safe," and unique enough to feel like your own special find.

Glamorous, seductive, confident, secretive and classy is the kind of woman I'd envision wearing this fragrance. I am a fan of mostly clean citrus floral fragrances, and when a friend gifted this to me I read the notes here and was convinced it would be a disaster on me. I mean, bananas in a perfume would be a notion difficult to conceptualize for most women who haven't worn Enjoy yet. But boy, does it surprise you! Agreed it was overwhelming for me for the first 30 minutes, but as it begins to develop I realize I've never felt such a perfect blend of fruity and floral accords with vanilla, musk and amber! I love the blend of musky rose, vanilla and patchouli with a whiff of banana and black current towards the dry down. Lasts for hours together (10-12 hours on me) and creates a beautiful fragrant aura around me. I prefer to wear it on cooler nights and have been complemented frequently by absolute strangers about how lovely I smell. A sophisticated perfume indeed from the classic house of Patou, I'm happy I enjoy its complexity. Would definitely buy again since it makes for a welcome break in my collection of fruity/floral/ citrus fragrances.

Being a fan of Patou fragrances I was excited to try Enjoy. Alas I have found this to be a difficult fragrance to wear. My tastes tend to run toward powerful scents, but even so the opening and the first 5 hours of wearing Enjoy were just overwhelming. The fruitiness of the opening lasted about 45 minutes. For the next 4 or 5 hours the combination of overly sun ripened Bulgarian roses and patchouli created a musty miasma all around me. I have previously found Bulgarian rose difficult to tolerate, so I was anxious to see how it performed in this perfume. My bottle is EDP. After that it did settle down into a lovely mix of rose, musk and vanilla. Sweet as the finale is, I can't envision tolerating the first two stages to make this a keeper. It is possible that I applied too much, so I will give it one more chance with a smaller application. This was my second attempt, but I like to give any fragrance three tries. Even if Enjoy doesn't work for me, I'm thrilled that this scent has so many fans and that the house of Patou is continuing on through another generation of perfume lovers .

I got a mini of Enjoy some time back in 2021. Wore it a few times testing it. I didn't think I needed a full bottle at first but then I caved and bought 2 LOL. I kept wanting to be around it. At first it seemed a little to generic but as I kept wearing it I began to really like it a lot. Enjoy is one of my most worn summer rose chypre staples. Its sparkling and fun aldehydes are perfect for hot weather. The custard like banana combined w/ juicy orange and black currant is like a refreshing fruit salad on a hot humid day. The patchouli in Enjoy is not heavy like it can be in many patchouli chypre fragrances. It just grounds the bubbly champagne like quality of this perfume enough to give it a bit more of a ladylike polish. Enjoy is the type of perfume that is a workhorse in a collection, especially in summer. Office appropriate, polished but approachable and very friendly. Since I wear this so much in the summer, I hope my bottle lasts me. I find I really do reach for this a lot when the mercury rises. It has a refreshing quality to it. It is my refreshing, bright fun rose chypre.

Classically beautiful, like the perfumes that made us all fall in love with fragrance in the first place. The topnotes of EnJoy are fruity-floral on me; more floral, but the reason I love this fragrance is the chypre drydown. I use "chypre" because this has a slightly citrusy, green base. This isn't at all like "classic" chypres, i.e. Ysatis, Coriandre, or Knowing, but it develops notes that, on me, smell mossy, and slightly camphoraceous. There's a lot of rose, (maybe because of the color of the liquid I think of purple roses), and definitely sweet jasmine. I don't detect banana as a note, but upon first spray something "feels" tropical to me, so something in my brain must sense banana. This goes away very quickly and the fragrance becomes energetic, uptlifting, and, best of all, unique. It seems EnJoy never got the "press" it ought to have had, and it's awfully underrated. The musk notes call to mind another wonderful, highly underrated Patou, Sira des Indes, but this never gets gourmand or animalic. It's a lovely, elegant fragrance that evokes summer.

This was a cast-off from a friend who had been in turn disappointed with it as a gift from a lover in whose taste she couldn't quite invest faith. For a time lasting months of intermittent use, notably through winter for which it isn't at all suited, I found it light, innocuous and anonymous. I wore it without registering it much and hoped I smelled clean enough to augment having bathed. There is still a bit much fruit in the initial notes for me, but now that the weather has got hot, that acid insipidity thankfully quickly subsides to be enveloped in deeper, richer, rounder notes, and a few nights ago I noticed a warm and delicious scent around me that turned out to be this. I don't know what it is; if I try hard I perceive hints of chlorine [clean again], cornflour or maybe paper, and maybe leather. It is still airy, but also aridly woody, deep and warm, and not at all powdery, thanks. Very nice for summer. I am very glad to be the recipient of this lovely fragrance.

EnJoy is classified as a fruity floral which conjures to my mind sweet perfumes designed for teenagers. This perfume is definitely fruity but not the sweet sickly jammy kind of fruitiness that is filling the perfume shelves on the high street. It is a creamy, heady, sophisticated sweetness that is more fitting for a mature elegant woman. The sweet start to this scent is a mix of mandarin, bananas and pears to my nose but it soon starts to mellow after a few seconds giving way to a heady floral heart. From this floral heart through to the ambery vanilla dry down EnJoy presents as the fine perfume it is, made up of high quality ingredients and composed with a lot of care. Apparently EnJoy was created for the younger crowd and it would be fantastic if the young can appreciate its grace and individuality. This is an elegant, unique scent with plenty of sillage and excellent longevity. It's a shame that it has been discontinued, a great loss of a hugely underrated scent.

This is a review of Enjoy EDP. It seems a bit out of character with the other classic Patou scents I know and love (Joy, Sublime, 1000). If you have expectations that Enjoy will be similar to those, you may be disappointed. If you're willing to consider it on its own merits, you may be surprised to find how interesting, impressive and wearable Enjoy really is. Enjoy begins with a blast of tart fruits. Very juicy, very green and moist. There's a lot of black currant in this phase and it's almost too much, but it settles quickly into a nice fruity-floral that lasts for an hour or so. After that, it morphs to a beautiful modern chypre. The florals are not sweet at all and are nicely tempered by the musk and patchouli. When it reaches the chypre phase, it stays there a good six hours or so. I admit, I had to give this one a few wearings before it clicked with me. Try it when you will have an opportunity to sniff frequently and observe its amazing evolution.
