Other flowers such as ylang ylang, champak, and tuberose are also included). The original bottle was designed by French architect and artisan Louis Süe, and it was designed to have a simple, classical feel).
Positive comments about Joy include that it is a bona fide classic scent that evokes old-style feminine glamour. It is green yet carnal, waxy yet powdery, sweet yet soapy, fruity yet creamy. Joy is the epitome of mastering flower in perfume creation. It is simple, harmonious, bright, and elevated. Joy is pleasant to wear, soft and tender.
Negative comments about Joy include that it smelled like Rose Glycerin soaps from the 60s. Some people find it a bit strong and perfumy, a bit too Madame Chic. One person found it too vanillic. Another person found it disappointing and smelling like pure powder.
The ingredients of Joy include aldehydes, peach, leafy green, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, tuberose, sandalwood, musk, and civet.
