    I'm new to your channel. I Googled this perfume because my 91yr old grandmother just gave me her bottle like 2 hours ago. Your vid came up. She said she doesn't go out anymore and this was her go to scent for weddings and special church events.
    She had the 50ml EDP version. It's half way through.
    I knew her to wear it for years. Ever since I was about 12yrs old. I'm 37 now. I couldn't stop sniffing the cap because I could see every outfit she wore while wearing this perfume. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside! ❤
    Thank you for your detailed review. It was a good watch.

    I think that joy smells like nature in the tropics, you know it's hot humid and lots of life abundant green, with all that is an underlying rot, the overripe decay of vegetation with the warm waft of heavy fragrance, it is actually why I like joy, walking through the flower market in Thailand, with all the beauty cut at the moment of perfection is still just dead vegetation. I can't say it is like a funeral parlor becasue that is a dry stale smell, the tropics is hot humid green rotten and addictive. It makes that floral smell a relief.

      Hey, I live in Thailand too and I also have strong impression of this scent (I used it when I was young). Lately I bought Boucheron's Quatre en Bleu Eau de Parfum because it smells closest to Joy, but I found that the heart and the base scents are different. Joy has deeper aroma. I like it so much.

    I love your reviews, Dacob. So interesting and mind opening. I own the eau the parfum, Joy from Patou, and Tuberose gardenia from Estée Lauder. I sprayed each one on a wrist to compare. Joy is a real beast and tuberose gardenia has a comparable smell, but much softer. I like them both a lot. They are both very beautiful parfums. In Europe Joy is still available on a lot of webshops.

    That was a gripping interpretation, Dacob! Thank you. I love Joy. I am fascinated by the difference between what you have said about men's interpretation and women's interpretation. As a woman, I am definitely reminded by Joy of the bodies of women who have meant the world to me--a best friend from my girlhood... my mother... and more. It is a woman who is self-contained. It can be scary, but it is everything. Yet Patou's Joy is being "censored," so to speak. A commentary on our times indeed.

    Loved this deep dive into jasmine as a note and this classic perfume. It is fascinating the often fine line between opposites: beautiful/ugly, attractive/repulsive smells, etc..

    Joy vintage pure parfum is a sensational real perfume experience... The animalistic side of the roses is intensified here and the eau de toilette the vintage one that came later called eau de joy shared this aspect... It has to match your skin otherwise it may feel sour... Boudoir by Westwood has a reference on this classic by patou...a beautiful bottle the pure parfum And soo difficult to open...it's a must for perfume connoisseurs....

    I went to visit my parents this weekend for my sister's birthday, and my mom told me she had a bottle of Joy from the late 70's early 80's. It was only 10%, but I eagerly got to check it out and put it on, and it surprised me so much! It was in a splash bottle, and original box. Painfully beautiful. I didn't get those indoles at all, and maybe it was from it being so old, or the low concentration. But I very much thought it was so surprising! Does not smell old AT ALL.
    My mom also had a tiny bottle of L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci from the 80's which I had great memories of from her wearing being a kid in the 80's in LA. haha. She gave it to me, and I've been smelling it since. It's so lovely, breezy, warm, and comforting to me. I'd love to hear what you think of vintage L’Air du Temps!

    There is a lot of "something" that looks like "Joy by Jean Patou" still available from reputable perfume retailers, even though it has been "discontinued." I am NOT referring to the Dior version. Is the "Jean Patou Joy" version that's still sold the real thing? Honestly, there is too much of it to be truly remaining "old stock." Also, while not cheap, it's not expensive enough to be rare remaining old stock of something no longer being made. What's going on?

    Cis-woman here (Albert isn`t my real name, lol) reporting no indolic notes whatsoever, just enormous, bombastic floral. I know the floral elements are listed, but as soon as I opened the sample vial I was immediately hit with the smell of Hoya Carnosa, which is a common houseplant, popular in the 1970s straight through to now, with blooms that hang around for a week or so but only smell at nighttime, and OH BOY, DO THEY SMELL! I personally adore the aroma, but not everyone appreciates the intensity, and as I think about it, the way I`ve seen people describe the smell of Hoya could be interpreted as indolic. There are certain Hoya species that people swear smell like a tootsie roll, or hot-dogs, or body odor, or all three.
    I`m going to go run around the block and see if I`m butt-stanky by the time I return! 😆 If I still just smell like a Hoya bloom, then I might have to get a full bottle.
    Thank you for another wonderful and informative review!

    Maybe this should never have had a spray nozzle - just a tiny aperture - a small dab here and there produces a very natural floral experience - I get no poop. A bit like hyacinth: when the blooms are a couple of feet from you, they smell so ugly and headache inducing, but from a good distance, they are delightful. I made a strange discovery today - Zino by Davifoff, when it completely dries down, smells very similar to Joy!! Zino is the most 'schizo' scent - it basically undergoes a sex change between the opening and the dry down...

Then in the 80's I wanted to buy it when I was in Macy's, but for $600 I had to pass. So, $600 back then would be totally out of reach now if they were to continue to manufacture it.
    So, for the most part, men find this scent repulsive. Is it just as repulsive when they smell it on a woman? I just ordered a bottle and now I'm worried men will find me disgusting! Lol.
