About this deal

The original bottle, designed by French architect and artisan Louis Süe, was designed to have a simple, classical feel. [6] Awards [ edit ]

Joy is one of those scents that I have to return to periodically to fully understand and appreciate. Early on in my perfume collecting and research, I was not really interested in floral scents, but had nabbed a vintage 1/2 ounce of the pure parfum in a crystal bottle just to keep as a historical reference. However, even though I was not really interested in florals, a funny thing happened each time I would dab some on over the years, just periodically, to reassess my impressions: I slowly started to appreciate floral scents more and even started to embrace my nemesis, tuberose.

Some people say that JOY does not actually have a separate type of EAU DE JOY. If there is, it is likely to be a light version that the company has reconfigured for customer needs. With just the right amount of fruity, floral, and green nuances to keep it intriguing, the Cassini opens fairly vibrant and strong before swiftly settling into a warm spicy amber.

Henri Alméras, a perfumer that had worked before for Paul Poiret, was the creator of all the Patou perfumes that I've mentioned, as well as Chaldée, a fragrance that came to the world firstly as a scented tanning oil, and knew great success, especially in coastal places like Deauville and Monte-Carlo. The perfume branch of the Patou company was growing and it had subsidiaries in New York, as well as fields of roses and jasmine in Grasse, for it's own use in perfumes. "This control of every stage of production is another example of the care Jean Patou put into everything. It also reflects his fierce desire for independence, the better to run his house as he saw fit," references Emmanuelle Polle. Designers for the House of Patou have included Marc Bohan (1954–1956), Karl Lagerfeld (1960–1963) and Jean Paul Gaultier (1971–1973). Christian Lacroix joined the label in 1981. The last fashion collection produced by the House of Patou label was in 1987 when the haute couture business closed definitively following Lacroix's departure to open his own house. In 1925 Patou launched his perfume business with three fragrances created by Henri Alméras. [4] In 1928, Jean Patou created "Huile de Chaldée", the first sun tan lotion. Joy is a floral fragrance that is widely loved and appreciated. In a situation where you cannot lay your hands on a bottle, you can go for any one of the perfumes that are similar to it.It was a floral but compared to the powerful bright floral scents of the 80’s it was so subtle, it was almost invisible. Unable to find any ‘joy’ wearing this perfume for my personal pleasure, I decided to purposefully try and gauge the male reaction to it. Kerleo stepped down in 1999 [6] appointing Jean-Michel Duriez as house perfumer. Duriez creations include "Un Amour de Patou" (1998), "Enjoy" (2003) and "Sira des Indes" (2006). To break the record for the amount of jasmine and roses used, at least 10,000 jasmines and 28 bouquets of roses are required for every 1 ounce of fragrance, regardless of cost.

A few minutes later I thought 'where's that potent urinal odour coming from?'. I couldn't account for it as I was in Jenners (which is basically Edinburgh's Harrods and never smells anything less than luxuriant). Finally I located the odour and realised it was emanating from Joy. I suggest they re-launch this at the weirder end of the niche fragrance market and re-name it 'Dismay Absolou'. I have my own vintage bottle of Eau de Joy and despite the fictions of memory, reformulation of perfume, and all the years, I still think of my mother when I open the bottle. This sort of memory is more pensive than visceral yet it's very important to me. I suppose you never know where you'll to find the big 'Rosebud' moments in your memory, and I never thought the bottle of Joy would sweep me up and carry me away. But I'll tell you where the moment found me. Or is it?! Just as with "Gabrielle" by Chanel this groaning was, however, this smell had nevertheless no similarity with an already brought out smell. So, so to speak, to bring out a classic in a modern and nice little dress that everyone wants to wear? Stewart, Mary Lynn (2008). Dressing Modern Frenchwomen: Marketing Haute Couture, 1919–1939. JHU Press. p.209. ISBN 978-0-8018-8803-8. My box reads: Joy Eau de ref. n. 1203 . Box made in France; bottom right corner: '702' This is a 30 ml or 1 ounces. (Splash) Confirmed this information on...raidersofthelostscent.blogspot com how-to-recognize-jean-patou-fragrances), to confirm authenticity.While I was out perfume browsing recently, I sprayed some of this on a card, some of it strayed (or rather, crawled) onto my fingers, then I forgot about it as I drifted along the perfume shelves. After about an hour it's just a skin scent on me, but a lovely one: still floral but somehow also an accord of fine Darjeeling tea. That's the closest I ever get to roses from it. Still very pure quality, much more subtle now (and much more my style than the opera singer). I wish it had some sillage and lasting power at this stage! I'd wear it whenever I wanted to feel calm and polished. But the scent keeps ebbing away; within three hours I can barely smell anything even with my nose touching my wrist. Farewell, you flighty beauty! In my favourite perfumery, where I hadn't been in for a while (I'm pretty happy right now), a Joy sample was waiting for me. You can spray yourself generously with it, after only one sprayer the scent was in 10 minutes no longer to be guessed. I am wearing what appears to be the reformulation of the orignal which my mother used to wear. I never wore that one but smelled it enough times on her to have become familiar with it myself. The original was lauded as a fragrance of "a thousand flowers" but while it was not multi floral it was a floral perfume made up of the most fragrant flowers known to man - rose, gardenia, tuberose, jasmine, and ylang ylang. The base was musky and balsamic, woodsy, green and aromatic. There was a sophistication and Chanel No. 5 type of air to the original, a musky floral for the grand dames of high society. The new formula is a whisper of the original, not bad, but definitely on a leash, sweeter and yet mature enough for me to wear. I can't detect aldehydes or anything animalic here.on my skin it's all about a rich floral heaven in a golden sweet base,something like honey and champagne.among it's floral notes rose is the most prominent one to my nose.it's not an overly powdered,dusty rose.it's a sweet,bright and jammy rose.I can also smell ylang ylang but not much white florals,except something like magnolia
