Joymujeres

I thought that this fragrance would be right up my alley. I love floral perfumes and after reading the notes it sounded perfect. White florals, rose, musk, sandalwood, ylang-ylang. Some of my favorite perfumes have these notes, so I am really not sure why I dislike this as much as I do. It is so close to being gorgeous, but there is this note of....decay maybe? I can't pinpoint it, but whatever note is lurking somewhere around the heart/base of the perfume just ruins the whole scent for me. Also, this is a fragrance that reads as old fashioned to me, so if that is something that is a deal breaker, I would definitely steer clear of this one. I'm glad that I only bought the travel sample. This is not a safe blind buy.

I became intrigued with the history of Joy perfume and was so glad to find the Jean Patou version available here, although of course the formulation was required to change some as with other famous perfumes. (I certainly could not afford the original!) I have since bought both the Joy parfum and toilette and I like and wear them both a lot. There seems to be a very slight difference between the two but not one I could describe, and of course the fragrance of the parfum seems to last longer as it is more concentrated. I rate both of them a 5. On me, the scent of both gets better in the first 30 minutes or so; it can seem a bit strong at first. This is not a super-long lasting fragrance on me but no complaints. I hope the stock doesn't get depleted as it's my understanding the Patou Joy is no longer made. (Shame on the silver imposter! It's not the same at all and should not use the name Joy.)

I have used Joy for years, as did my mother and a dear friend. When I put it on, I remember them. I adore it, and wouldn't use any other perfume.
