This is an absolutely gorgeous fragrance. It is very feminine and has lovely floral undertones with a bright, uplifting tone. It is just a happy scent. Light. Joyful - as it's name suggests. Nothing too overpowering or heavy. I also have occasionally tricky skin as well as hayfever and I was able to use this with no issue whatsoever. The only downside I have found is that the fragrance does not linger for long on my skin, which is a real shame with this being such a beautiful scent. However, the new upgrade (Joy Intense) does not have this issue. Overall though, I am happy to overlook this one small blip for such a beautiful perfume and as I say, the Intense version has this covered.

This is a review on the new Dior sauvage as I couldn’t find the post for it.
Firstly the perfume smells amazing!!! I do feel this one has a lot more of a citrus scent to it compared to the original but both smell just as good as each other.
The smell once sprayed lasts for days on your clothes it’s staying power is definitely top notch so you won’t ever have to re spray it. It’s definitely good value for money as the bottle will probably last you forever.
I like to put one squirt on one wrist then from that wrist apply it to my other wrist and on my neck, because if you spray too much of this perfume it does get extremely overwhelming due to how strong the scent is but it’s definitely worth it!
The bottle is gorgeous a super plane but effective navy blue with a nice lid it’s quite a thick glass strong bottle so I don’t think it would break any time soon but I don’t want to test that theory 🤭
The perfume has “spicy mandarin, sandalwood and Tonka bean” scents to it you can definitely smell the citrus and the sandalwood it smells really nice I like a spicy scent in men’s perfumes/after shave it makes it smell super refreshing and clean.
Overall I love this perfume/ aftershave it smells amazing definitely nothing like anything I’ve ever smelled before it’s scent is next level amazing!! If you haven’t smelled it before definitely run out to your local Dior counter ASAP cause I can guarantee you will fall in love with it on the spot 😍

I’ve first tried this perfume last year in summer when I’ve had my make up done in Kingston’s Dior branch. The scent is really fresh and femine and I love how long it last. Definitely a keeper and worth every penny!

I had a small sample of this to try. First impressions smelt gorgeous very floral and femine exactly what I like in a fragrance. However after 2 hours I could not smell it at all I’m assuming I didn’t put another on however for me deal breaker. Lovely but would not repurchase

I recently received a sample of this perfume and it smells divine. It has a floral scent which makes you feel pretty yet sophisticated and the fact the scent is long lasting means it is great for day wear at the office or for your night out. Just the smell of this perfume as I spray it makes me smile, it really is a Joy to wear. I will most definitely be buying this.

The new JOY by Dior fragrance is immediate, clear and generous. Joy is finally captured in a scent, marked by both enveloping softness and energy. An ode to pleasure and life. An Eau de Parfum illuminated by the vibrant smile of flowers and citrus fruits, the smooth caress of woods and the serenity of musks. A fragrance with a thousand nuances and facets, yet crystal-clear. JOY by Dior expresses this remarkable feeling of joy by offering an olfactive interpretation of light. This perfume resembles certain pointillist paintings that are rich with a precise, yet not too obvious, technique. It is constructed with multiple nuances, a myriad of facets that lead to an expression that is clear and self-evident. - François Demachy, Dior Perfumer-Creator. Zested Bergamot and Mandarin explode in unison with flowers. Grasse Rose, in both Essence and Absolute form, as well as heady Jasmine, blend with these delectable fruits in a vibrant smile. Warm and creamy Sandalwood embraces us in softness. An intimate signature, the clear and powdery whisper of musks creates a tender and sensual skin-on-skin effect. Its bottle is both luminous and precious. Its femininity shines through in the brilliant silver and radiant pink of this instantly attractive juice. A bright shining silver thread wraps around the lid, like a light jewel delicately engraved with its name, which curls around in a perfect O.
