    I just love Joy. I discovered it while in Paris years ago--and I've never been without it since. It's exceeded only by '1000,' in terms of pleasue. 'Joy' is a joy--if that's not too cheesey. ...

    I've used the Eau de Toilette, which is very rich and long-lasting for a floral. I adore these exquisite florals (equal parts rose and jasmine to my nose), but the starchy aldehydes in the top...

    I first fell in love with Joy in the late 60s when my beautiful, elegant cousin let me try hers. I've bought it ever since and will never be without it. Every SINGLE time I wear it, men say I smell...

    Very feminine soft floral mostly jasmine scent accented with rose. I have tried the parfum, body lotion, EDT, and body mist. I prefer body mist - it has a bit more of the rose/floral top notes,...

    Lovely, lovely fragrance. Its a classic. The scent of roses and jasmine is heady and feminine and totally gorgeous. I have to agree with the previous reviewer who said this is one for the confident...

    As I said in another review, let the kids and the mall set bathe in those tacky, fruit punch celebrity concoctions. It leaves grand scents like Joy for those in the know.

    Joy parfum says wealth and class to me -- gorgeous Grasse jasmine and rose with refined sandalwood in the base. I do wonder if there is some vetiver in the base as well. Some resemblance to...

    I love Joy and will always feel it is a timeless classic, wore this in the early 90s and loved it. My tastes in perfumes changed over the years and I am not into the stronger note fragrances any...

    To me, Joy is the pinnacle of parfum art. It is my main perfume--my others are Je Reviens by Worth and Shalimar. See a pattern? Blonde, blue-eyed European ancestery women are good in florals...

    Probably my favourite fragrance. I have worn this on and off since I was 18 years of age, which is quite a while ago now. It never goes out of style and will always give the 'new kids on the...

    This is the scent! It is a masterpiece. It is full of elegant contradictions. It reminds me of spring mornings, when the first crocuses have pushed their way through the melting snow-- and formal...

    Try before you buy! The opening scent of this perfume is suffocating to me. The fragrance evolves to a strong but pleasant rose scent. Not a fresh rose, like a tea rose, but a very strong...

    I get bored easily with fragrance, I rarely used up any fragrance to its bottom, and this was one of the few I really like I had the bottle empty ... Lovely ... Sweet, a bit strong, very nice for...

    I have to say that my nose had to be "trained" to like Joy. I only held on to it since it holds memories of my dear mom with it as this was one of her absolute faves. It took me at least 15 tries...

    I really dislike this scent. It is probably my least favorite of all time... You would be more likely to catch me wearing an "designer imposter" than this scent..... I have known several women over...

    I had a feeling I wouldn't like this one since I don't care for the "matronly" scents of yesteryear, particularly florals. I was right. I sampled it during a lunch hour shopping trip, and had to go...

    Joy is a fabulous fragrance. It might be because I lived around ylang-ylang trees for years and love the scent so much that this is the element of Joy which stands out to me. If you've ever smelled...
