The most important thing you should know is the *fragility* of Patou "extraits" or "parfums" (not eau de toilette). All Patou extraits are very easily ruined. All Patou extraits were sealed by hand using a wet membrane, so when it dried, it "solidified" around the cap and the bottleneck. The integrity was assured by a golden cord around the neck, and finally the boxes were wrapped with paper or plastic/cellophane. Once the cord and/or the membrane are removed, degradation process happens very quickly. After just 2-3 years your extrait is *completely* ruined! Don't just look at the batch-codes, look at the integrity instead!
