Adé Joy, make way for a new edition
Yesterday, the Fleuri blog prompted me to do a parallel test of the current EdP with a vintage EdT, of which a lovely perfume fortunately sent me a sample. Thanks a lot for this.
I'd like to say something else, but: Joy is rightfully employed. Anyway, the shadow left by this fragrance with a great past.
This old eau de toilette will delight you with a bouquet of flowers, in which the duo of rose and jasmine is particularly dominant. Lily-of-the-valley remains discreetly in the background, the other flowers of the pyramid I can't even perceive individually. This wonderful floral scent is accompanied by soft citrus notes and soft aldehydes. Very gently a breath of civet blows over, which does not let any urinary associations arise for me. I read "dirty soap" somewhere around here. I think that's it. Zibet, in much smaller doses than in Jicky, brings a little wickedness to this wonderfully gentle soap. I find Poliboy furniture polish a bit trite. But I can't express better how the flower melange blends into a breathtakingly beautiful, slightly waxy fragrance with a distinct vintage character. What do I consume now after a few more drops of this EdT, not to mention higher concentrations.
The current eau de parfum on the other wrist shows only superficial similarities: It's also a soapy floral scent.
But I smell mostly lilies of the valley. Lily of the valley even more than jasmine. In my opinion, an attempt has been made here to compensate for the impression of civilization with lilies of the valley. Synthetic civet might have been better, but I have no idea.
And yes, the rose is gone. So is the softness. Instead, more of a harsh curd soap impression without polish and without minimal residual sweetness. No refinement
Now my disappointment may also be due to the fact that I have problems with lilies of the valley anyway. Friends of lily of the valley may also enjoy the new fragrance, which is now being discontinued, with its lovely facets. In any case, I will not bunkering any fragrances in the current version.
Instead, I hope that Dior will one day have a "Joy. Eau de Toilette Originale" Well, Miss Dior has one. It would be good if they didn't try our patience until 2035
