    Candy tuberose with aldehydes. Goes on gloriously sweet flowers with only the faintest edge of mothballs, which my skin always brings out of Tuberose, Jasmine, Gardenia or Lily of the Valley....

    I have a Nordstrom sample of the Eau de Parfume. Glorious on the tester card; a riot of creamy spring flowers caked with buttery yellow pollen. Unfortunately within minutes on my skin it breaks...

    When this first came out years ago it was a big deal, because of the expense. But I say eh...it's just ok. I've smelled better and would not purchase it.

    EDIT : Review for Proctor and Gamble version- Parfum extrait. No worries ladies- this is saved ! Joy is more or less the same - nothing to worry about. I will continue to buy and wear this perfume...

    I am not a fan of the great classics- No. 5, Fracas, Shalimar, etc.; all that dirty vanilla makes me think of that stale smell in "antique" furniture. Joy is somehow different. Elegant and...

    For many years this has been my signature scent and I it will continue to be. I think it is sophisticated elegant sexy and of course it is a classic. The bottle is simple and chic. Every time I...

    Bleh! I was very disappointed since I have read so many good reviews about this scent being a classic. Way too floral and it never seemed to settle into anything remotely pleasant.

    Hmm---I'm a jasmine lover, and often rub pure jasmine oil on myself after a shower (and follow it with perfume, of course). As far as single notes go, jasmine is really the definition of who I am,...

    My review is for the edt. Opening notes are beautifully floral. I don't smell a whole lot of Jasmine or Rose at all. At first Joy reminded me of Diorissimo quite a bit. Then a lemony note comes...

    Joy, I tried and failed. This is just too sophisticated for my nose.

    NICE bottle, but what a stench that comes from within! TOO much sweetness and an overload of flowers! Hated it in the bottle, and hate it out of the bottle!

    I really hate this! I got it due to a rave by this girl on youtube. And then, I ended up getting it in a perfume shop that don't have testers out. I got home all excited, sprayed it on my wrist...

    I've always wanted to love Joy, if just for the beautiful top note. On me, this comes on like a big flower bomb, but dries down to a weird grandma smell. I understand why others love this classic,...

    I thought when I first smelled this that it was like dirty water. 15 years later, (maybe bc the bottle I have has aged-EDP), I put it on and it is the most beautiful smell I have ever put on my...

    This has been my signature scent since i was 13. I love it. The floral is delicate. I find the spray dispensors just right. EDP is lovely.Lasts for a long time. Is stable. Feminine and classic.

    I had understandably high expectations for this fragrance. Comes on like an earthquake and dries down to dust and "old lady" talcum...a very unpleasant fragrance on me!

    Everyone kept saying that this was the truest rose scent. I purchased it last year at a discount store and it smelled nothing like a rose. So, I purchased a sample this week from perfumed court. ...
