Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Joy EDT
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - No.535 Joy EDP
A rose-jasmine floral with modern musky-woody support, built to reflect the uplifting feeling of joy rather than replicate a specific historic formula note-for-note.
