Which Should You Buy?
Joy is undeniably brilliant in its vintage formulation, a true masterpiece of potent florals. However, modern iterations often disappoint, leaving many to mourn the loss of its original grandeur. It's a divisive scent by today's standards, often described as 'dated' or 'old lady' by some, yet 'timeless' and 'luxurious' by others.
A divisive floral with a hefty price tag, Wind Flowers struggles to justify its 'niche' status amidst comparisons to designer greats. Expect a strong white floral and musk combo - for better or worse, depending on your skin chemistry.
