Joy Parfum Baccarat Edition

Joy Parfum Baccarat Edition by Jean Patou is a grand, classic floral for women in parfum concentration. Floral is the word everyone uses; a minority also find it woody and musky, which is the base showing through the flowers.

The bouquet is the whole point. Bulgarian rose and May rose give two shades of the same flower, one deep and velvety, the other fresher and more honeyed. Jasmine adds the heady, slightly indolic richness that makes the composition feel abundant, tuberose a creamy, almost waxy white-flower warmth and ylang-ylang a soft, custard-like sweetness. Sandalwood and musk form a quiet base, creamy wood and a warm skin-like finish that lets the flowers stay in front rather than competing with them.

As a parfum it is meant to be worn close and in small amounts, and it suits evenings, occasions and cooler weather. It suits someone who loves full, traditional rose-jasmine florals and wants them in their richest form rather than a fresh or fruity interpretation.
