What do reviewers say about Joy and Gardenia 1933?
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
This is white floral for people who think white florals are too polite. The richness here borders on syrupy, lactonic, almost creamy, but the clary sage opening keeps it from becoming cloying.Gardenia 1933
