Amber Floral
Perfumer: Francois Demachy
While the original Joy grew on me over time and I quite enjoy the fragrance, Joy Intense did not win my heart.
It is a more vanilla version of the original – richer, sweeter, warmer. It comes across as a vanilla floral perfume reminiscent of Flowerbomb type of scents. Pleasant, easy to wear, there is nothing wrong with it apart from the fact it does not last exactly long. It is not a perfume I am going to be wearing.
The original has a fresh, airy feel to it, ideal for spring and summer but the intense version does not surprise in any way and is not strong enough for cold weather.
The original Joy in warm clothes yet not potent enough to cut through the cold.
