In the beginning I get a lot of sweet notes, which are not overly sweet because they are underlined with an almost medicinal note (oud) but it fades away very quickly in the first like 10min.
Later on the scent is developing into something really nice, it then reminds me of Pure Havane or even Back to Black but it’s still pretty different, so don’t expect it to be an clone or so.
For me, this one is perfeclty unisex altough If a women wears it, I could never ever imagine wearing this, but still it is well balanced!
What I also noticed is, that it can be cloying if you overspray and I would only wear this in the colder month (not only in the winter time but it shoulnd be summer imo).
I get the rose and the nutmeg…but other than that all the other notes are not that easy to detect, like I said it’s sweet and has a very nice cola/honey/cherry base which is a little bit diffeent from what is aviable in the market.
My final rating for the smell is a 8 (on the logn term I think this is a very good 7,5) Why? Because there is not that much of an developement…
The longevity and sillage is very good! 8-12 hours with an very good sillage (espcially in the first 3-4 hours) and then it settles to a nice soft sweet scent! 🙂
The bottle is also very nice! the cap has a lot of weight to it and you can unscrew the sprayer which is perfect for filling it into an travel atomizer.
Thanks!

Awful fragrance to me; smelled like cough syrup and had to scrub off after one spray. Couldn’t detect any heliotrope at all. Not for me.

After three hours….
A sweetness is emerging, drowning the sharpness! Which makes me happy. It’s the Rose coming through. Now I feel a compelling presence of a perfume I might come to love! Pity the lasting power is a bit weak.

A pretty oriental, with a characteristic Mugler flavor.
I like the mellowness, sans dreaded blast of Oudh, which is present in just the right proportion. As it dries down, it retains a sharp edge to it. It’s pretty much a conjoined twin to Majestes. They are both overpriced for what they are. But still, wearable on cold days.

Mirror Joyeaux is a modern oriental based around patchouli, cedar wood and guiac wood. Its very heavy heliotrope, so it keeps this a dry vanillic sweet. The bourbon pepper and nutmeg add texture but this isn’t a spice bomb. The rose joins in and harmonizes the scent. The oud is gentle. Id classify this as a Oriental Woody Floral. (says on the box) Its a soft smooth scent. I haven’t quite come across this configuration before so those that want to wear something unique.. this is right up your alley. Perhaps you wanted a more feminine powdery twist on the rose/oud combo ..this would be a good option. If u love L’huere Blue from Guerlain this should be an easy fit.
It is interesting to note that Joyeaux does not come in the wood mirror box that Majestes and Voluptes were housed in. So if your a collector, bear that in mind. IMO due to the large heliotrope presence, this is far away from Voluptes which is a spicy rose oud. Unisex.
Update: More I wear it, the more beautiful it is. Its not my typical style but won me over.

C’mon guys, let’s get more reviews here! I want to know how prominent the heliotrope is. It’s not my favourite note by any means! I’d have blind bought this over the Miroir de Voluptes if it wasn’t for the heliotrope!

Wow…one of the perfect oriental – rose patchouli combo! So intense and so much roses with touch of oud and spices! I tried to wear it in the summer and spring but it is so heavy..and poisonous long lasting…thats way, I will try it in cold seasons…maybe then I will find the charm of this suprerb beauty.
