I have loved Joy since the ’70s. For me it was an aspirational fragrance, I had just turned 20 and although it was a little heavy for someone of my age, and in a warm climate, I longed for it.
I was dating (friendly, not amorous necessarily) three different gentlemen in 1980 and received three bottles of Joy for Christmas, two parfums in a small glass rounded bottle with a gold top, and one in the black bottle.
To me, wearing Joy was like gilding oneself with liquid gold. Huge sillage, deep dark amber of tuberose and heady rose attar (Bulgarian rose).
There’s nothing like it.
The newer versions of the original Joy are still lovely, without the intensity of the original, and one can never say “this perfume reminds me of….”. Joy is a stand alone, other fragrances may remind one of an element of Joy, but Joy is the first, the original, the mother lode.

I have loved Joy all my life. In the 1970s, a man brought me back this dark bottle of Joy perfume, with the red cap. I still have it although I don’t think there is much Juice left. I usually leave a drop or two for sentiment. I bought two more as well as the glass bottles over the years. So the dates that says this is a 2015 collectors item are incorrect. In fact, I’m pretty certain that the only one I may have bought in 2015 is the glass one. But I have three of them, two small and a large, which is still nearly full but which has turned on me, or my love has changed, I can’t decide.

Now I see, my mistake. Even I like the most the modern version of the bottle, if this is the original, no comment! Thank you guys.

Uninspired bottle. I don t see any joy in it and the fonts are really ugly. Joy is Joy only in the original bottle…anything else it s just a marketing failure.
