JOY was the second most expensive perfume in the world

In the history of perfumery, three perfumes have been forged (counterfeited – fraudulently imitated) so extensively: Chanel No. 5, Patou’s JOY, and Patou’s 1000 (Mille). Be very careful—genuine products, especially those by Patou, are extremely scarce on the world market. Keep your eyes peeled, as we say here in Greece.

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

An iconic, transparent, luminous crystal bottle designed by architects Louis Süe and Andre Mare, following the (Golden Ratio or 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.

INFORMATION : 7–8 different varieties of rose and jasmine were used to produce the fragrance.

Let’s compare Chanel No. 5 and Joy:

Chanel No. 5 : One ounce (30 ml) of Parfum required 12 roses and 1,000 jasmine blossoms.

Joy : (1 ml) of Parfum required 11 roses and 350 jasmine blossoms; that means 3 ml of Joy is equivalent to 30 ml of Chanel.

That’s a little about JOY Parfum—it’s like driving a Lamborghini.

The product was distributed in Greece by LAPHAFARM S.A., PHARMACEUTICAL 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.
