Joy by Jean Patou for women

This is amazing. I may have actually found something that is equal to my forever love, Chanel No. 5. The florals in this are stunning. I love the way it shifts from stage to stage. Joy puts a firm image in my head: of jasmine blossoms and rose petals set on a clay disk and pushed out into the water in the spring sunshine. The blossoms are quivering in the breeze, there are droplets of water shimmering on them, and they are releasing a joyful scent. This perfume is full of light, life, and happiness. I love it! I definitely also smell ylang ylang, and the base is woodsy and almost resinous. Every stage is addictive, from the bright and sunny top, to the deep rose and jasmine heart, to the sweetly spicy drydown. You must give this one a try!

This is the jasmine to which all others are measured. Thick, heavy jasmine for a lady. You must know this one if you love perfume.

It takes 10,600 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen May roses to make a single ounce of Joy. This is a light floral , created by French perfumer Jean Patou in 1930 during the great depression.
