    I used to love this perfume since I was a litlle girl. I owned a mini bottle (I was a collector and owned several hundred bottles) and I used to sniff that little jewel from time to time – but I...

    I always have to sample "the classics" because a) My mom owned many of them and I'm very olfactory-sentimental and b) I like the idea of a full-on, womanly, deep floral in opposition to the...

    This is the most beautiful perfume I've ever smelled.Honestly. I love floral perfumes (I usually wear J'adore) but this goes beyond. It reminds me of Mr. Darcy's garden on Pride and Prejudice,...

    Nothing, but nothing is Joy parfum. The Eau de Toilette and the Eau de Parfum focus on the rose and the jasmine, respectively, but the pure perfume is the formula with all of the really good stuff:...

    I used to (silently) laugh at Joy but that's because I would only smell it from the bottle or on a paper strip. I was showing it to a customer one day, and for the fun of it, I sprayed it on my arm...

    I love Joy! I have to admit that I didn't like florals the first time I tried it. But what really got me was the quality. This truly is a top-tier fragrance. While this was once the most expensive...

    Hmm. I guess I've been taking these must-try classics lists too seriously. I swapped for this only because this was on the beginners list on Perfume Posse :) All I get from this is jasmine and the...

    I was sceptic at first since it's such an old perfume, but I didn't hesitate when I saw it on the counter in a beauty store here in Sweden. I've never seen it before, so I had to give it a try. And...

    Joy has the floral base that reminds me of other perfumes of the era, which in itself is very nice. Then, there is the fecal/animalic note and that completely turns me off to this. It gets a bit...

    Fresh (rose?), classy, very french and light but has absolutely no staying power. Will not repurchase. Shame-because it's a truly wonderful scent.

    Classic, warm, elegant, refined. Very ladylike. The frangrance equivalent of gold jewelry and fur coats. There are some very heavy animalic notes. Far too much civet for me to actually wear in...

    Wonderful scent! It was my mother's signature scent for a long time (after Nina Ricci misguidedly discontinued Fille d'Eve). My parents were in the diplomatic service and this scent brings back...

    My sister wore this as her signature for many years, and loved it, and still does. To me, it's very sophisticated & flowery, but clean. It is not my cup of tea, but that doesn't mean it isn't good....

    I can't understand what all the hype is about! This smells like an old lady's perfume to me! It has been going for a long while and it shows. It's a very old fashioned fragrance. I hate it and...

    My mother (a Grace Kelly look-alike) wore Joy, and only on Special Occaisions. I can't imagine it in any other context. To me it conjures up images of winter, pearls, tuxedoes, glamour, furs, and...

    Does MUA really need another review of Joy? Does the world? Probably not, but since I honk on about it fairly often, if anyone wants the official story, here it is: Joy is indeed, a classic. ...

    I love this perfume for a fall or winter night. It is a bit strong so you don't need to spray a lot on. It is quite floral so for people that like fresh or fruity scents this is not for you.
