What does Joyous (2019) smell like?

Voters rate both its longevity and its sillage as good, and although the number of votes is small, the picture is consistent. Being unisex, it suits women and men alike, with a character balanced between floral and woody.

It begins spicy and fresh with coriander and cardamom. In the heart, neroli and orange blossom bring a floral, lightly fruity sweetness. In the base, leather, ambergris and sandalwood dry down creamy, woody and oriental. Boadicea the Victorious Britannia and Prada Amber pour Homme have a close profile.
