Jean Patou Joy Eau de Toilette Spray for Her 50 ml

Product Information

Joy starts off with a beautiful floral spray. Rich, natural rose takes the lead, opening up to a lush, sweet, powdery rose after being originally little green and dewy. Here, a tinge of peach brings in some juicy richness. After a while, creamy white blooms elegantly complement the honeyed rose. Sweet ylang ylang gives the scent a little tropical edge, while silky, waxy tuberose gives it a deep, sensual quality. Little wonder Joy is the brand's most expensive perfume. Within an hour, there's a little sourness too. Two and a half hours later, and my idyllic stroll around those spectacular gardens may have been a day dream. On my skin, Joy becomes increasingly metallic. There's still a little powder there, but it's staring to smell like a wet, wire scourer. Are all my joys over? As time presses on, my skin brings out the absolute worst of Joy, it makes a mess of the lasting base notes.

An ounce of Joy had a retail price of 40 dollars, the most expensive perfume at the time. As told by Emmanuelle Polle, "What the clients would soon learn was that this ounce of perfume was produced through the extraction of some 10,600 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses. It was a gargantuan perfume, requiring huge quantities of fresh flowers. The couturier-perfumer was not one for artifice, be it in the way silk was worked or the walk of a model on the runway, or the ingredients of a perfume. The same line of conduct prevailed in his perfumes and his fashions: the quest for naturalness and the very best raw materials." So Dior brings out a fragrance that actually already exists. By the way, I made the direct comparison on my skin, can not only write this from the memory of Allure. Joy EDP isn't wearable for me as a day fragrance. It really needs to decloak itself after about an hour. I went on to buy full-sized bottles of the EDP and EDT. The EDP, I will keep for later and the EDT, I plan to wear.Steele, Valerie, ed. (2010).

The realism of the flowers do not seem to suffer the downgrade that usually occurs when they are cast down from nature to essence, they transition unscathed from shrub to bottle, fleshy and full botanical, the jasmine and the rose are wholly discernible, even insular, living together in isolation like limbs matching in a body.
