About this deal

Sweet ylang ylang adds a slight tropical edge, while smooth, waxy tuberose adds its carnal richness. Rather than the typical, soft notes in the opening, a layer of deeper notes in the mid, then woods, resins and amber at the base. Forget disappointment, the shock and confusion I felt that my mother LOVED the smell of poop is unfortunately a brighter memory than most. if progress means we have to loose the precious with time, let the good old days forever be remembered in a vintage bottle. I would often wear it around the house along with my mother's heels, her costume jewelry and hand-me-down make up.

He trained in fur before founding his first fashion house at the age of 23, then created his own brand in Paris in 1914.Unfortunately, I don't get any rose, civet, or complexity of any kind, just a rough indolic jasmine. Most of these phone discussions were about nothing in particular but only as she grew unable to carry on these conversations did I realize how important those small ways of keeping in touch were. By then, it gets pretty powdery, and the jasmine all but disappears and Joy becomes pretty much a skin scent and I can barely detect it for the rest of the day. I have a tiny full vintage bottle that I picked up from my grandmother's house many years ago and have managed to hang onto it all this time. I also have the vintage EDT and I personally prefer the EDT, it has a lot more jasmine, if you didn't smell the EDT you wouldn't know that they were from the same line.

The May rose in here is the same as in the original Joy for my nose it really shines, and I have always felt that the May rose does not take a back seat to the jasmine in Joy and she doesn't in Eau de Joy either. I supposed back in the day before PETA when every woman who could afford the luxury wore fur in some capacity. After opening the package it looked like the most gorgeous jewel with a beautiful liquid of ruby amber wrapped in gold and set upon a dais. It evokes a spent beauty, in the dry down, on some days and it's not doing it for you, rather just because it's Joy, after all. A sharp opening of metallic aldehydes that seem to inflate the nose to the point of burning, quickly succeeded by a powerful, lively Jasmine, next to a soapy, dense, oily Rose.Read about this perfume in other languages: Deutsch, Español, Français, Čeština, Italiano, Русский, Polski, Português, Ελληνικά, 汉语, Nederlands, Srpski, Română, العربية, Українська, Монгол, עברית. But I’m glad I didn’t put any effort into finding a vintage version—the modern formulation really didn’t seem noticeably different to me. Beauty from a time, not so long ago, when quality was the measure up and houses like Patou produced ART, even if the financial gains where next to nothing.
