Joyus Real Time

This perfume has recently risen from the depths of a long forgotten "My Teenager Perfumes" box... a small, corrugated bottle with drop-shaped sides, which certainly could have been pretty if there had been at least one cap to it back then. I bought the bottle about 8 years ago in the Woolworth and was already very annoyed about the cap (just a piece of cable tie and nothing else). When I saw the photos of Joyus on Parfumo, I thought my edition was a Dupe from Dupe ^^' therefore this lurid title, my dears ;)

But now to the essential! The scent, natural!
Joyus starts out so alcoholic and synthetic that it makes your nose crawl immediately to do something about it. For just a few seconds, this disastrous side effect is over and the fragrance becomes floral. For my perception very pleasant, fresh and maybe even a bit citric. Associations with piles of freshly washed laundry come to mind, which in turn are not unpleasant images.
[Here it was mentioned that Joyus apparently imitates J'adore. Since I have never been able to test the Dior classic, I can neither confirm nor deny this comparison at this point]

There is no development and within a few minutes the beautiful spook is over. Already after twenty minutes I had difficulties to even guess him on my wrist.
In the end, Joyus had a useful task: With this fragrance I gave my sweaters the "freshly washed" kick [on clothes the fresh breeze stays for about 5 hours, even if only weakly] and I could still put on another perfume at the same time ;)

Now the miniature is used up and it is time to try something new - fragrances that no one has ever tasted before, if you like ^^
