Beautiful and elegant white floral with what I would call “Tuberose for beginners”.
Polite, composed and very light, this isn’t a blousy in your face fragrance, it’s a sparkling ladylike champagne flute. She’s never going to make a statement because it’s not her style, she’s going to sit in the background and look attractive.
I prefer a more belligerent tuberose, but this one will come in handy when circumspection is required.
I must admit that I wouldn’t have considered bringing her home if it hadn’t been for Myer reducing the price by 30%.

Beautiful but evanescent. Green and creamy. An updated even more innocent luxury version of Tuberosa by Santa María Novella. I like it but I don’t love it. High quality ingredients here, though.

A beautyful whiteflowery scent. On my skin very airy and light. For that cost -no thanx. JT gets very skinclose on me and I have dry skin that “eats” scents quickly – on my skin I can smell JT about 2 hours.
En underbar vitblommig doft. På mig blir den luftig och lätt. Till det priset – nej tack. JT är på mig väldigt hudnära och jag har torr hud som “äter” parfymer – så jag känner den i ungefär 2 timmar.

I was so excited about this release. Guerlain and white flowers, it sounded promising. Unfortunately I get a sort of sweet soup, with no one ingredient standing out. If it had been priced under $100, I might have considered purchasing JT but I find nothing to be impressed with here. I am disappointed.

I got to smell this from a tester from a local store. Upon first sniff, it smells distinctly of a blend of white flowers. It’s very smooth, soothing and comforting, like a freshly ironed white linen.
The tuberose is distinct yet understated, and the vanilla renders it very creamy but not overwhelmingly so. There’s a good balance between the vanilla, tuberose and green notes that makes it feel like a walk through a white floral garden after a drizzle.
I’m not sure if this fragrance is worthy of its hefty price. It’s good (though not great), and it’s hardly the best fragrance in the line. It’s worth a sniff for all white-floral fragrance lovers.

I really wanted to try this, so when we had one day in London at the end of our Easter holiday, I dragged husband and kids with me to Harrod’s to do some testing.
I was expecting/hoping for something like Lys Soleia and Terracotta Le Parfum, both of which I like very much for summer. But instead I found it floating somewhere between two other summery Guerlains; Terracotta Eau sous le Vent and AA Ylang & Vanille (of which I like the former and dislike the latter). It was very vanillic on me, and had a very soft sweetness that really isn’t my style. I didn’t get any of the green notes, except maybe a little in the first few minutes. Just sweet, soft, vanillic beachy-solar flowers.
I was a little disappointed. It’s not at all a bad scent, it’s quite pretty, but I didn’t find it unique, special or distinct in any way. At least not enough to deserve such a high price. I am sure many will love it, but unfortunately it’s not for me.
PS: Lasting power is very good, even if it’s a soft scent. I could smell it on my wrist all day, and I can still smell it quite strongly on the cardigan I wore that day, after it has been in my closet for two weeks.

I waited for having used a good part of the full flacon to write this review.
This is a gentle, light but very distinguished Tuberose, unlike Vuitton’s Turbulences, D. Ropion’s Carnal Flowers (Fred Malle), or Lancome’s “La vie est belle” EDP Intense. It never gets too invasive as it is modulated throughout it’s effect by greens during the opening, then by the other white florals and finally by vanilla. I find only a hint of vetiver. Not any “intoxicating” effect of tuberose some skins reject with a mushroomy scent, though the tuberose is dominant from the beginning, melting with vanilla only towards the end. Longevity is at least 8 hours if used alone, but spraying it after a some other frags like Angelique Noire or vanilla-dominated frags makes it last longer.
Tuberose is a very special, sort of “all or nothing” or “love or hate” floral note, so I usually recommend testing it. But Joyeuse Tuberose is a low risk frag due to it’s lightness and gentle scent, so maybe this is the best frag to get acquainted with this very special flower.
All in all, this frag is for fine noses … very intimate with no “crushing” effect, and it comes up completely to my expectations from a house like Guerlain.

Fresh, green, ever so slightly bitter opening transitioning into a heavy creaminess. Mind you, not an edible one! It actually has more of a Nivea cream floralcy. My expectations were not astronomical, me being a believer that flowers need to show some darkness and dirt to fully live up to their potential. But this one really is quite handsome.

The opening to this is nothing short of glorious to my nose. It smells of green, fresh cut flower stems to the point where I can almost visualise them. It then moves into white flowers, primarily tuberose but with well blended lily and jasmine (it’s not unlike Terracotta at this point), before finishing in gentle vanilla.
I am a tuberose addict and I think this one could be an entry level tuberose for those who aren’t sure if they like it as a note – it goes nowhere near the sillage oomph of Fracas or Carnal Flower on me, but that’s not a bad thing. Sometimes you want a gentler approach.
My one small gripe is that, on me at least, the longevity isn’t as long as I’d like it to be. However, discussion in another forum had some people saying they had it last through a shower. My skin eats Guerlains for some reason! And plus it’s worth it for another shot of the opening…

This opens with a delicious, fresh smell of peach skin. It mellows down to a gentle and innocent white floral, most prominent is tuberose and jasmine. Said white flowers are fruity, on the verge of over ripe peaches, more as the perfume dries down. This is not a bad thing but merely a question of personal taste, whether you like your white flowers camphorous, dirty, fruity, clean, classic, sweet, fleshy… I would call this a fruity, quite sweet and modern white floral, easy on the senses, summery like Songes and Lys Soleia also from Guerlain. There’s no discernible soapyness, mentol, rubber or skank. It’s only fresh in the top notes. I love my white flowers dirty like Fracas, Beyond Love or more camphorous like A la nuit, though my favourite among this family is without a doubt Songes. There is no discernible vanilla or such, this is solely a floral. I would like it more if it kept that realistic, fresh peach skin scent for the whole ride.
TLDR: Peachy, modern, summery and easy blend of tuberose and jasmine.
