Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Joy Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Tubereuse Noir Eau de Parfum

This tuberose is a real shapeshifter - some find it a delightful, creamy bubblegum confection, others a dirty, even mournful floral. It's affordable, impactful, and undeniably divisive. If you're a tuberose fan, it's worth a sniff.

Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

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.

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Its potent projection and intense tuberose accord might be too much for an office setting, but it shines on dates due to its sensual and bold character. It's a versatile choice for casual wear, especially for those who enjoy making a statement, though its floral maturity might be a bit much for purely casual scenarios and not at all suitable for sport.
