Our verdict on Joyful: Favourite

This one's a divisive fresh floral that smells nothing like its name. Some found it a 'monster' for longevity, others found it 'fleeting.' Overall, it's pretty generic and not for those who want complexity beyond a fresh, shampoo-like scent.

Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, clean floral and fruity character, often described as shampoo-like, suits casual and office wear. While some experience strong projection, a significant number report poor longevity and weak sillage, making it generally inoffensive for work but less impactful for formal or romantic settings.

About

Joyful bursts open with a tangy, overripe melon and blackcurrant mixture, sometimes leaning green and aquatic. The heart blooms into a floral bouquet of peony, magnolia, and violet leaf, offering a clean, shampoo-like freshness. It settles into a soft, slightly woody base with hints of honey, sandalwood, and oakmoss, though many found these notes elusive.
