About Joy
Joy perfume by Jean Patou is a timeless and foundational floral perfume first released in 1930 behind the nose of perfumer Henri Almeras. This legendary fragrance is a blend of jasmine, rose and tuberose over a musky sandalwood base. Joy changed the history of perfumery with its opulence, using 10,000 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen roses to create a mere 1 ounce of scent.
Fragrance Family:
Floral
Scent Type:
Sweet, animalic, rich, intense, powdery
Notes:
Top notes are Bulgarian Rose, Ylang-Ylang and Tuberose; middle notes are Jasmine and May Rose; base notes are Musk and Sandalwood.
Suggested Use
For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.
FAQ for Joy
What does Joy smell like?
Joy is a beloved floral fragrance that signaled opulence in the early 1930s. This bestselling fragrance was a beacon in a time of uncertainty all over the world. It achieves the same effect today with its bold yet feminine symphony of rare flowers. Tuberose and ylang-ylang awaken the spirit to comforting jasmine and two varieties of rose over sandalwood and rich musk.
What kind of scent is Joy?
Joy is a classic floral, with no fruit or citrus notes. Joy is available in both eau de perfume, or EDP, and eau de toilette, or EDT, concentrations. The EDP is the more concentrated option. Joy is a versatile and elegant scent for all special occasions.
What are the notes in Joy?
- Top Notes: tuberose, ylang-ylang, Bulgarian rose
- Heart Notes: jasmine, Rose de Mai
- Base Notes: sandalwood, musk
What season is Joy best for?
Although Joy is a true floral, it is often worn in fall because of its pronounced musky base. Joy is also appropriate for spring and summer wear.
Is Joy suitable for all occasions?
Joy is a strong perfume, so a light application is important for daytime events. This is especially true for the EDP concentration, while the EDT is more flexible. A full application is suitable for evening events, date nights and special occasions.
Can it be worn by both men and women?
Joy is designed for women, and its notes of white florals and rose are hallmarks of classic feminine perfumery. Anyone with an interest in vintage fragrances or fragrance history can enjoy this foundational scent.
Where do you apply Joy?
For a full and long-lasting application, apply Joy to pulse points at the backs of the ears, hollow of the throat, inner elbows and wrists. A lighter hand is key for daytime events. Choose one pulse point or spray a small cloud over the neck and chest.
How long does it last?
Joy is famously long-lasting in both its EDP and EDT concentrations. One full application of the EDT remains noticeable for 10 hours, while the EDP lasts 12 hours and lingers the next day.
Where is the best place to buy Joy?
Joy can be purchased at major department stores, but FragranceX is a solid option for buying perfumes and colognes online. FragranceX sells authentic, quality fragrances at discount prices, allowing you to save up to 80% off.

It's my wife's signature fragrance
She uses the cologne frequently but not exclusively. She absolutely loves the body crème after showering. She loves the fragrance and how the crème moisturizes.

Not been produced since 2018.
The original formulation was discontinued some time ago. The brand was re-launched by P&G but smelt like a cheap imitation of the original amazing fragrance so I stopped buying it after 30 years. In 2018 it was re-sold and then discontinued. Dior now markets a different perfume called Joy. So sad.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Joy has been my favorite scent for decades. I could afford expensive perfume until recently. A chronic disease forced me to apply for and receive Disability.

Very disappointed in Joy. I had ordered the mini size of Joy Forever and liked it, also Joy 1000 which I don't like. I was hoping the Joy would work for me. To be quite honest, do not know how it can be as popular as what it supposedly is.
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend to a friend.
