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.
Divisive and wildly polarising, Ellis Brooklyn's Salt is either a compelling, clean, and unique take on 'beachy' or a cloying, chemical mess. It's a risk, but sometimes risks pay off in glorious, salty, sexy ways.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Joy, particularly in its original strength, is a powerful floral. Its significant sillage and mature, complex character make it less suitable for casual or office wear, but perfect for dates and formal events where you want to make a statement.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean-skin musk make it acceptable for casual office wear, though many reviewers state it becomes a subtle skin scent. The alluring, 'sex on a beach' vibe makes it perfect for dates or relaxed casual settings, while its unique, salty character could be interesting for an active day.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Musky, Woody, Powdery accords and Ylang-Ylang, Sandalwood notes
