Dior walks in the footsteps of Chanel
Of course I had to test this fragrance, too, because I thought Dior would finally be able to dare something new again.
We were disappointed by the name alone, not only by the classic "Joy" by Jean Patou, but also by the fact that the "J'adore in Joy" by Dior already exists. Nevertheless, there was still such a spark of hope that the scent might tear it out after all.
In my favourite perfumery, where I hadn't been in for a while (I'm pretty happy right now), a Joy sample was waiting for me. You can spray yourself generously with it, after only one sprayer the scent was in 10 minutes no longer to be guessed.
After another 5 minutes Joy smelled like Allure, EdT, from Chanel, only perhaps with a more modern top note. Joy also didn't show me the facets of the initially fresh and spicy Allure, which then becomes soft and creamy, although such were predicted.
So Dior brings out a fragrance that actually already exists. By the way, I made the direct comparison on my skin, can not only write this from the memory of Allure.
That's why I won't buy Joy, because he doesn't offer enough for the price, durability and sillage can't keep up with Chanel. Allure is the better choice for me, also the cheaper one!

Still, I don't want to claim that Joy is a bad scent.
It is suitable for everyday use, citric-floral-creamy, fine and delicate, not too sweet. A soft musk base keeps very quiet, but still on the skin for some time! A very pleasant perfume of the day. I guess you can't go wrong with that scent. But I dare doubt whether the price/performance ratio is right.

Which target group Dior wants to address this time is not quite clear to me.
Or is it?! Just as with "Gabrielle" by Chanel this groaning was, however, this smell had nevertheless no similarity with an already brought out smell. So, so to speak, to bring out a classic in a modern and nice little dress that everyone wants to wear?

To the very sweet fraction, this fragrance is certainly too "unsweet"! They stay with La Vie est Belle, Black Opium or Mon Guerlain, etc., who also have a clearer presence.

Those who are looking for a nice everyday scent may find it cheaper. Jennifer Lawrence is surely an expensive advertising partner, the customer must then also "pay"!

And those who want to attract attention will certainly not have any joy with this Joy.
That's why I can't imagine Joy becoming a "hit" from Dior! Still, he'll have his fans....!

I would have liked a fragrance from Dior that had more expressiveness and character. And just to bring something really new to the market, nothing that has ever been there before! But, I think there won't be anything coming so soon!

Joy doesn't go swimming
When I watched the TV commercial, I thought: Hopefully the scent doesn't go swimming - because there's a lot of water in the story.
Nevertheless, the video is well done - especially the floating underwater shots appeal to me.

And even the scent says yes to me right away.
Aquatically fruity tangerine and bergamot flow over my skin, hovered over by sweet rose, and irradiated by bright fresh jasmine.
Sandal adds creamy ingredients and Patch adds depth and shelf life.
The cedar adds a touch of casual elegance.

A harmonious creation that really brings joy, and which has a sympathetic effect thanks to its uncomplicated attitude.
Joy knows no airs and graces me for hours.

So no reason for the model in the spot to "go into the water"

The Joy of cultivated boredom
Chanel launched Gabrielle, Hermès Twilly and now Dior follows with Joy. Predominantly well-known young actors present the scents. A target group oriented action in today's time. The market is crying out for fresh, unspent faces and, above all, for their well-heeled followers. Personenkult knows no borders, brand cult also not. The money is spent with full hands, even if none is available. Sharpened elbows. Psychopaths. Heart collapse. Department stores. Social media. Installment purchase and credit. Planned obsolescence. Advertising programme. Burst silicone cushions. Ecotax. Microplasty. To have and to be. Eat or die and feel pleasure!

Joy? For Dior's latest creation, it smells quite flowery. The opening is pleasantly citric and fresh with bergamot and mandarin, whereby the bergamot takes over the main part here. Quite fast the whole matter mutes itself a little and a clean rose appears. Jasmine and musk add a dash of fluffy creaminess. All in all, the fragrance does not develop excessive sweetness, but it remains rather bland and somewhat boring. Patchouli, sandalwood and cedar show their presence with extreme restraint. The shelf life is, like the Sillage, quite manageable.
On the whole, Dior was unable to make a quantum leap with this launch, which was apparently undesirable. Olfactory surprises and experiments usually don't get a large circle of buyers, and so Joy remains only a cultivated appearance without the impulse to arouse exuberant joy.

Light and Flowers
I don't know what everybody's got. Yaaaaa Dior didn't reinvent the wheel and now? Not that many do. It is a fragrance that lies on the skin like a veil without irritating or piercing the nose. It's a scent for every day and every time, is that bad??? No, I don't think so. Think people just expect too much. I like him, he is transparent, airy light and the base lasts very long

Summer joy
Very surprised I looked at this fragrance, because I didn't hear any advertisement or other rumour, there is a new Dior coming. Rosy, solid glass, noble lid - as Naimie54 already noticed, Eau Sauvage type, just for women. With one important difference: this is Suave, not Sauvage ( Wild ) this is sweetish, citric, sparkling and floral creamy. Very good to wear in summer, perhaps even better in spring. I have the impression that it smells like neroli, cyclamen and white musk flowers. A nice combination of refreshment, velvety white blood and intense musk. A certain resemblance to Diorella in the top notes (these are the citrus notes with woodsy flair), a bit of diorissimo (cyclamen, no lilies of the valley but... something small, woody) and then the surprise - creamy musky base that lasts the longest, office-friendly recommendation for every day, and with a potential to become the popular summer scent (as Escale Edition has left me cold), I think it's well done.

This is not Joy. This is a "Tragic" for Dior to release a not impressive fragrance in an identical La Collection Privée bottle.

Typical light floral scent, but this combination of white musk, artificial sandalwood & jasmine smells cheap on my skin. Joy of boredom ;-)

Not at all like its famous namesake ! A déjà vu and banal floral scent with a weak sillage in minimal bottle at a high price. Disappointed

This is a very eighties perfume to me. Reminds me of Oscar de La Renta, which I loved but now seems a bit dated. Big floral and vanilla.
