JOY was the second most expensive perfume in the world

In the history of perfumes, three fragrances have been counterfeited (imitated – fraudulently reproduced) so extensively: Chanel No. 5, Patou’s JOY, and Patou’s 1000 (Mille). Be very careful—genuine Patou products are especially scarce on the global market. As a Greek proverb says, keep your eyes wide open.

Foundation Fragrance Award (2020) : The Fragrance of the Century

INFORMATION : 7–8 different varieties of rose and jasmine were used to produce this product, in proportions and concentrations different from those of the Parfum.

Production of EAU DE JOY (Eau de Parfum) ceased at the end of 1998.

The iconic, transparent, luminous crystal bottle was designed by architects Louis Süe and Andre Mare, following the Golden Ratio (the Divine Proportion) of the Greek mathematician EUCLID, applying mathematics to art in the belief that it is aesthetically pleasing.

The bottle was manufactured by Saint-Gobain-Desjonqueres, bearing the SGD mark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury perfumes.

The product was distributed in Greece by LAPAPHARM S.A., PHARMACEUTICALS AND COSMETICS INDUSTRY, 73 Menandrou Street, Athens, and we had exclusive sales rights as authorized distributors.

PERFUMER : Henri Almeras; in 1955, the fragrance was reformulated by Henri Giboulet.
