Jean Patou Joy Eau De Toilette Spray for Women 75 ml

Product Information

Green notes twine through all this for about 10 minutes when an airy Jasmine appears and grabs my attention, twining through everything. IFRA happened, laws about allergens came into play, many ingredients became banned or simply disappeared, naturals are very expensive, and tastes changed. Rich, photorealistic rose leads the way, initially slightly green and dewy, but unfurling to become a lush, sweet, powdery rose note. For reasons I don’t understand, this seems to be true for most of my long term fragrance loves - Joy, 1000, Midnight Poison, Ma Liberte, Shalimar.

Yes, the civet is there and in your face for about the first half hour, so if that doesn't work for you, this might not be your jam. Ugh it's giving me Amarige vibes, and I don't like Amarige EPD by Givenchy which by the way, is a whole lot more affordable than Joy EPD. It's a shame they discontinued the Jackie O perfume and I'm sure it doesn't smell the same as the one she wore, but the way the current one smells I'm not sad to see it go anymore.Times changed and suddenly tastes changed, advertising faded and somehow despite it’s similarities to other classics like Chanel N5, sales dropped. They are not expansive and messy, they are perfectly composed and the nose starts in a crystalline center and the nose and imagination always circles back into the center.

Intending to recapture the gorgeous, opulent scent of Joy, I visited my local perfume department and was devastated to find the Joy of the 2000s bore zero resemblance to the original. This iconic Masterpiece really needs no further adornment, as it is one of the most beautiful animalic florals ever created. But my mistake was that I didn't spray it on my skin, and just judged it too harshly by the smell of the bottle. JOY is a perfume of flowers that are far from being innocent or virginal: these flowers are carnal, they are sexual, they have body, they have heat, they are “dirty” in the best sense of the word, they like to be pollinated (😂); At first its smell may resemble that of soap, something clean and polished, but if you pay attention, you will feel this “dirtiness” touch deep down.

In 1927, tanned skin was the new chic and Jean Patou conceived Chaldea oil, the first sunscreen product – never before seen. I purchased a small bottle for my collection a while ago, after learning some of the history behind it (and of course, I love Vivien Leigh); I wanted to have a little piece of history in my home, and did not expect to fall in love with the scent itself. For over 40 years, Parfums De France has been an authorized dealer of the world's finest fragrances.

According to some reviewers EdJ is very similar to Joy, that saves me the effort of purchasing the original. JOY is a fragrance with an interesting history: conceived as the epitome of luxury and extravagance, its formula included an unprecedented amount of Jasmine of Grasse and May Rose, two of the most expensive ingredients in perfumery. Karl Lagerfeld joined the fashion house as head designer in 1958, where he created the memorable long flowing dresses inspired by the 1930s, in homage to the founder. The deeply satisfying experience of luxuriating in the warm, delicate cloud of classic French perfume can be yours (barring any chemistry concerns) with this legendary icon of sheer elegance.but JOY by Jean Patou, which is just as big, gradually fell into oblivion and was finally discontinued. It's a pleasure to wear for that beautiful development alone, although I have to admit I am partial especially to the opening. I don't think it's exactly the same one I tried all those years ago but if you want the ultimate, fresh yet sexy bunch of flowers this isn't a bad place to start.

Note: there are a few comments down below who speak of Joy as being full of tuberose and ylang, similar to, of all things, Fracas. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. I literally almost swooned when I first caught the fragrance trail she left behind her as she passed.
