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.
This is a gorgeous, classy white and yellow floral, providing it aligns with your skin's chemistry. Some find it a bit sharp or even "pissy" on their skin, but for many, it's a balanced, luxurious experience.
