Joy

#600 in my "Tour de Fragrance" GOOD LORD THIS STUFF IS STRONG! Seriously folks, this will blow the windows out! Proceed with extreme caution. In 599 outings I have experienced nothing even close to this in potency and projection. NOT car pool, elevator or close office space safe!. They will send you to the outdoor seating in an instant. I wouldn't leave the house the first couple of hours after applying this. I would never inflict this on a car pool or people riding in an elevator. This smells amazing for sure, but it is overwhelming without proper ventilation, and someone will get nauseous. Juniper, mate, and especially tonka, all at thermonuclear levels here along with all the leather and amber you could ever hope to find. One spray only friends. Not kidding. One spray only or you'll have to shower. Absolutely DO NOT SPRAY YOUR CLOTHING! Needless overkill you will instantly regret. I applied a couple of spritzes at 7am and now at almost 2pm it still smells like I just applied eight sprays of a typical EDP. None of that is to say don't buy this. Abso-freaking-lutely you should get a decant from Scent Split and experience it for yourself. I love this stuff and am definitely ordering a bottle of this, but I recommend against blind buying anything so potent. It smells great and probably repels vampires too, but probably not going to be a hit for everyone. Update: I applied this 14 hours ago and it's barely faded, the scent having also completely permeated my clothing. Still projecting like I just applied it. This stuff is amazing!

It's definitely interesting. Maybe too "niche" for my nose, not that far in my fragrance journey yet. Once the opening is gone after about 1 hour, there are certain similarities to Roja's Enigma Parfum to my nose. It's a like for me and may revisit it in the future. Sample first.

Opens with a nice fresh herbal juniper and dries down to a greenish leather smell. The leather itself is nice but I don’t get too much sweetness or amber

So I first found out about this perfume because of the review under me by @JusttheFactsMan! I currently have a bottle of Safari from the same collection and had a bottle of Sultan (basicially Joy but after a reformulation/renaming). I very much enjoyed Sultan and was looking for the original. I've found a full bottle of it for very cheap! ~38000HUF with shipping (~107€). So about the fragrance: It's a very fresh and green scent with great longevity and sillage. The scent opens up with the juniper berries and mate tea. These notes stay during the whole drydown aswell. My only "bad side" to this fragrance is that I find it a bit linear. It has a slight sweetnes from the tonka/leather/amber but those notes are not important. The first two notes shine brighter than the rest. You get an amazing performance and sillage out of this fragrance. Supposedly they were all produced 10 years ago in 2016 (was in stores for only 1 year then changed to Sultan). Be mindful of the sprays with this fragrance because it's truly strong. If you can pick up a bottle of this then definitely do so it's 100% worth it!
