About Joy
Jean Patou is best known for Joy from 1930, marketed as the costliest perfume in the world at launch and still one of the most famous French florals ever created, built on Bulgarian rose and Grasse jasmine at exceptional concentration. Joy remains the most sought-after fragrance in the catalog, built on Bulgarian rose, Grasse jasmine, ylang-ylang, musk, sandalwood. The concentration and quality of raw materials used sets it apart from what you find at a similar price point from mass-market houses.
1000 takes the line in a different direction. Where Joy is the anchor, 1000 shows the range's willingness to explore contrasting scent families. Ma Liberte rounds out the catalog with a third option covering women who want yet another direction in the same quality tier.
