In-Depth Summary
Created in 1930, Joy was Jean Patou’s defiant answer to the austerity of the Great Depression. He gave Henri Alméras freedom to work without regard to cost, and the result was an opulent love letter to rose and jasmine, enriched by tuberose and ylang-ylang over sandalwood, musk, and civet. Promoted as “the world’s most expensive perfume,” Joy offered beauty, romance, and optimism when all three felt especially precious. Henri Giboulet later adapted the composition as Eau de Joy. This offering is a circa-1980s 1 fl. oz Joy Eau de Parfum bottle labeled Eau de Joy and containing its original formula.
