Like a black a-line dress that fits you so perfectly that Michael Kors himself would chase you down to get the name of the designer because Michael knows — HE KNOWS! — that you didn’t buy that off the “last chance” rack at T.J. Maxx, and that the gifted hands of a fashion phenom somewhere must have stitched it together specifically for you.
Anyway, yeah. That’s how Jean Patou’s Joy Forever Eau de Parfum makes me feel.
Fashionable. Feminine. A girl who turns heads.
Crisp floral Joy Forever, while un-joyously expensive ($110 for a 1.6-oz. bottle), starts with a splash. After a couple hours, bright top notes of bergamot, Mandarin orange and malbanum (an aromatic gum resin) fade to a lush floral middle of jasmine, rose, orris, marigold, orange flower and peach notes, before drying down to a warm, cozy base of cedarwood, sandalwood, white musk and amber.
Just add dress and heels when you want to feel dainty and girly. 🙂
The 1.6-oz. bottle shown here is $110, and you can find it now at Neiman Marcus stores and online.

Right? I would LOVE a few custom couture cat tee shirts and several pairs of stretchy pants, haha!

September 25th, 2014 at 12:30 pmHAHA! You read my mind. I just didn’t want to send Karl over the edge by mentioning my penchant for sweatpants (you totally know Choupette would rat me out). 🙂

September 25th, 2014 at 9:17 amHi Ankita,
Me too. What I like about this one is that it isn’t overly sweet, as some fruity florals are sometimes.

September 25th, 2014 at 9:17 amHi Fancie,
It’s got a sort of Chanel-vibe to it, doesn’t it? What are your favorite floral perfumes, by the way?
