    Smells like sandlewood - reminds me of this Sandlewood 'bees & flowers' soap sold in Asian grocery stores. clean, powdery and soapy. Very sophisticated fragrance. Reminds me of old lady dressed...

    I got this as a gift when I was 21. I didn't know anything about Joy back then. The bottle was square and a little heavy, it felt expensive, and I was very excited to have a perfume with such a...

    (This comment is on the Eau de Parfum version of the scent.) Jasmine, rose and civet. Indoles + fresh moist rose + THE animalic note = sexy. Joy has been the most expensive perfume on earth...

    EDT Review: On me Joy is aldehyde heavy and has a super synthetic smelling heavy jasmine note that is just awful. Also something in this makes my allergies go off the charts. Simply horrible...

    In parts of the Midwest, spring is heralded by a special fragrance that wafts with the first warm air over melting snow. Joy is ONLY fragrance that I have ever encountered that captures some of the...

    I so love the smell of Joy in the bottle and for the first 3 minutes on my skin. It is such a luscious scent, but it really starts to smell like cat pee on me...I am so disappointed, but it just...

    The fundamental accord of JOY is made of jasmine and rose. It uses the best of both flowers and it is the most accurated accord ever smelled in the history of perfumes. To me,this scent is like...

    I claim that I don't like aldehydes and don't like straight-up florals, yet I'll try anything and sometimes I surprise myself. Joy is a classic, though admittedly a classic I'd never actually...

    Unfortunately, I don't understand this fragrance at all. It's almost rancid on me, and I almost gave it one lippie, but I gave Joy the benefit of the doubt - maybe I sprayed too much EDT (or was it...

    (Update): I tried Joy for the 2nd time today & it's delicious; the only floral that has ever smelled truly pretty on me. I will definitely buy a bottle, or at least a mini, soon. Joy is one of...

    This aldehydic rose-jasmine classic just doesn't seem to justify its price, IMO. It's rather ordinary and very perfumey, classic in the worst sense of the word. Uninteresting, too. Awful packaging,...

    I'm not necessarily opposed to perfume-y florals--I love Iris Poudre--but this one didn't do anything for me. It smelled artificial and cheap--irony, anyone?

    I bought this at Burlington for $20.00. I saw all the rave reviews and thought I had made a rare find. This perfume smells like flowers on the verge of death. I definitely didn't like this...

    Parfum: rich and heady, roses plus jasmine. Dries down very 'clean' on my skin. Perfumed body mist: sprightlier but still rich roses.

    Okay. I'll admit it. Joy has finally won me over. I still can't say I'm crazy over the EdP. It's not as fetid to me as it used to be, but it does have a "hairspray" like quality to it that I...
