What do reviewers say about Narcisse Noir (1911) and Joy?
This is the fragrance that makes people argue about what they just smelled. The civet isn't hidden, it's the whole point. Built for anyone who's done apologizing for what they wear.Narcisse Noir (1911)
Joy doesn't ask permission. It was born to be too much, too floral, too opulent, too present, and that's exactly why people keep reaching for it ninety years later.Joy
