WoodyWhat does Joy Forever (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
The citrus and green accords meet galbanum and orange blossom for a fresh start, while peach adds a fruity sweetness. In the heart, May rose, jasmine, iris and tagetes give the scent a powdery, creamy face. The base of amber, cedar, sandalwood and white musk settles into a soft, woody ground.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business settings lead the occasions. Most see it as feminine. It has been discontinued. Dior Milly-la-Forêt and Dior Joy (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
