JOY was the second most expensive perfume in the world

In the history of perfumes, three fragrances have been counterfeited (imitations – fraud) more than any others: Chanel No. 5, Patou’s JOY and 1000 (Mille), also by Patou. Take great care—existing Patou products are extremely scarce on the global market. As we say here in Greece, keep your eyes peeled.
