Joyphoria

I do have a soft spot for tuberose, coconut, ylang ylang and vanilla. A great sweet, creamy, warm, lush white floral plus tropical floral scent always gets me. And I definitely adore Joyphoria. It’s a wonderful white floral forward perfume with sweet vanilla, creamy ylang ylang, delicious coconut water and fresh, green petit grain/neroli flower. Plus a heady jasmine and some soft touches of powderiness from cashmeran. It’s gorgeous and totally to my surprise, because it’s a floral scent, seems to perform better on my skin than Cosmic Power. I feel very tempted to get a bottle of this even though I just purchased a week ago something very expensive but similar to this scent profile. But I am waiting for a good sale for sure, if I decide to get a full size bottle! This is your classic tropical/white floral with a beautiful powdery, musky, warm vanilla base. Similar to some extent to Tom Ford Soleil Blanc, which I already have, but that smells more luxurious and elevated than CT’s Joyphoria. Similar to Sol de Janeiro’s Rio Radiance but that’s more sweet on me. More similar from my experience to Alien Goddess range, especially the original Goddess, but with a green, slightly bitter twist added by neroli and petit grain combo. Somewhere in the middle of all mentioned above, between all these classic summertime scents but with some small spins to smell a bit different. Perfect summer holidays or beach scent. To sum it up, from the four ones I’ve tested, Joyphoria is hands down the best of Charlotte Tilbury’s perfumes!

Oh damn. I was mindlessly wandering around Sephora spraying everything in sight and I came across this one. The opening was super floral and summery- i said okay, meh, not bad but not amazing. But then i got home and oh my gosh, the drydown. Sexy, sexy, sexy. This reminds me of an evolved version of Jean Paul Gautier- the classic one from years ago that they used to sell as an “aphrodisiac” scent. It’s warm jasmine, creamy ylang ylang, seductive vanilla beautifully blended and sealed with the kiss of a tuberose. I can see the comparisons to Soleil Blanc / Hibiscus Palm only in concept - yes this is tropical, but to me this is what you wear on a date night in warm summer heat whereas SB/HP are daytime summer fragrances. It also reminds me a bit of the discontinued TF Orchid Soleil. A sexy, seductive fragrance. Leans very feminine.

If you hesitate to buy TF Soleil Blanc because of the price/longevity, and you are searching for a similar vibe, search no more. This parfum is so lovely for the summer, energetic, dynamic, long lasting. I find it a lot more vibrant than Soleil Blanc. I bought the 10 ml version to dip my toe in it, and I enjoy it a lot! When I am sick of the cold weather I wear it in the winter as well, it's a great mood booster/pick me up. Sometimes I like to play blind sniffing with my fiance, where I show him a sniff and ask him if he thinks it's niche or designer and he always guesses niche with this one. For me I always guess designer but I think it doesn't really matter, it is lovely as it is. Great balance of price and quality as well. When it will be out I will buy the full size.

Very uplifting :) I got a 10ml travel size I feel like this is a perfect mass apealing scent that is not a gourmand. Floral that even a gen Z that hates florals could love and easely wear. I love ylang-ylang in this, tuberose, jasmine, and the sweetness. It’s a mood boosting fragrance for me and I was craving it during a stressfull and hot weak during my work trip. Anytime I smelled it I felt joy, so I think that the marketing is right on this one, and I feel like marketing is rearelly appropriate when it comes to perfume and it’s notes and overall vibe. It’s funny to me how some dislike it because it’s too dated/mature/retro, and others because it’s to young/carefree/simple-sweet.

My daughter got me this for mother's day. When I saw the parfum collection of CT first a week before mother's day I of course checked the bottles. She asked me which ones I liked from the collection. Insisted couple of times... I thought she was trying to convince me to purchase for her. I should have known better. I said that I liked the red, pink and the gold(rosegold) bottles. And then she presents Joyphoria travel size bottle at Mother's day. It is a cozy warm scent. I love tuberose and she knows. Cashmere is definitely there. Scent is much better after it lasts a short time after you spray.
