    I grew up with my mother wearing this fragrance. I never came to appreciate it until the last few years. Now that my nose has matured I can smell many wonderful complex notes. I am saddened that...

    This was my very first designer fragrance. My father bought it for me when I turned 18, and naturally, it reminds me of him! I always thought it smelled warm and powdery, with a hint of old...

    This legendary perfume make me feel like a concubine when I wear it, albeit a very expensive one. It is just so blatantly sexual, waving about with so much jasmine and civet and powdery notes of...

    This is my favourite 1930s actress' perfume that she wore and so I REALLY wanted to love it. I do love classic but this scent just reminded me of my grandma and an old bar of soap. It was...

    Joy is all the Ps - pretty, petals and powder. Although the fragrance is delivered in an alcoholic, perfumey base, the sharpness sudsides and the prettiness wins through. For me, JOY isn't overly...

    Suits people who like those old-fashioned powdery smell. Not really my taste, but at least this wasn't too overpowering like Sublime.

    Joy is a lovely Bulgarian Rose. It’s soft and feminine and unobtrusive, very well behaved and I don’t get any synthetic notes. I love sophisticated, gentle and well behaved florals, but this one...
