Joy

product description

Joy has worn the label "the costliest perfume in the world" since Jean Patou launched it in 1930, built on a floral heart so dense with jasmine and rose that it needs almost nothing else to make its case. The opening is a brief, green whisper before thousands of jasmine and Grasse rose blossoms take over, warmed underneath by civet and musk. It's a rich, old-world floral, the kind that announces itself slowly and then stays all day. This two-piece set pairs a 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray with a generous 6.7 oz Body Cream in the same scent, letting you layer it on skin before the spray goes on for a fragrance that lasts well past the initial spritz. It suits someone who already knows Joy, or someone ready to be introduced to a floral with real history behind it, not a fragrance for the timid, but one for a person who wants to be remembered when they leave the room.
