Joy by Dior Intense

I get so many compliments wearing this. You can literally layer with anything.

Compliments are guaranteed, I got it as a gift from my aunt and was delighted, the only thing holding it back is the price.

Had really high hopes, but for me it’s just like a ’90s cologne. The patchouli is here, and it’s not going to let you forget about her. Another rich-aunt scent (maybe elegant but completely unapproachable).

I will forever love this thing, idc. And now its getting spring im bringing it in my rotation again! When this first launched I bought it in a local drugstore. I knew nothing about perfumes, this was my very first perfume ever and ohhh did I love it. I went trough 5 bottles! Its so crazy expensive for what it is, but i dont even care I will forever have this in my collection. This is such a joyfull, uplifting sweet scent beatifully grounded by a patchouli base that gives it Some sex appeal. Allthough this wouldnt be my pick for date night, this is the one i wear for ME because it brings me….? Joy :-)

°•~Hmm•°•mmm~•° what a treat 💗💓💗 I adore both of Dior's Joy editions!!! Today's cold and rainy februari day was absolutely brightened by the company and presence of Joy Intense.

J'adore Dior Joy Intense!! Dior did a beautiful job with this one. Superb blending and heady fragrance. A journey of neroli and jasmine wrapped in a blanket of vanilla and tonka bean. With these notes it's a total treat to wear in the Fall/Winter or on a night out. It's got staying power and nice projection. Well done!

I love this perfumer. Such an Intense Joy for colder days! It strongly reminded me of other beauty and yes, it is similar to Allure Sensuelle. I am now compairing the two on my wrists. Both have rather strong sillage. Dior is softer and dreamier. Chanel more floral and agile. As if, in a rush. Dior Joy Intense smells as if Hypnose and Joy had a baby. Both Dior and Chanel are predominantly rose. And vanilla. And musk. Dior is creamier. The start can overwhelm, Chanel too. Both speak to me of going out to party. I have a mini of the Dior and it smells so divine in today's colder weather and different enough from the Chanel that I bought a big bottle today. It will be a battle between the Dior, Flowerbomb Nectar, and my Coco by Chanel as to which one will accompany me out more often this and next year. Allure Sensuelle will make you the star of the night it has so much power during wear. Dior is more laid back after initial hour or two.

I had a lot of trouble finding a new signature and everyday perfume when my beloved Chloé Narcisse tragically stopped being produced. After many trials and tests, my choice finally fell on Joy Intence which works pretty much anywhere and anytime on me. In other words, the perfect signature perfume. I would actually call it a gourmand floral. It is not too sweet or intrusive like many other gourmands, but it is certainly not thin nor impersonal. It feels rich, flowery, sweet, creamy, and feminine enough. At the bottom I smell two scents that are not listed but which for me are crucial to the overall experience; A scent of sweet raspberries and a tiny piece of dark chocolate! <3 Together with sweet flowers, a deeper very seductive vanilla and light woody base I find It a perfect gourmand floral that appeals to me so much that today I have just bought my third large bottle after having emptied the first two!

Somehow, I have never ever, felt the need to try this but I came across a free sample I got a while back when I bought some make up , and decided to try it. To me, it is very sweet flowers with a deeper vanilla and light woody base. It is rich, flowery, sweet, creamy, and feminine. Very pleasant, but for some reason, it doesn't stand out to me.

Scent of a rich woman to me. Scent for eccentric rich woman... drinking her coffee in Paris....

An ordinary combination of rose and white flowers, with a synthetic floral scent and a hint of vanilla. The scent feels as cloying as the perfume’s color, but there's a subtle touch of creaminess in it—which is what I like.

My best friend bought me this perfume as a present and he told me that he thought that it could suit me. I must say its silage and longevity is great but it is SO intense that I get migrene. It’s like a very deep vanilla and spice, something I imagine a lady +50 could enjoy (I’m mid in my mid 30s).

I absolutely love this scent. It's not for daily use because it's a bit strong. You definitely can't be "heavy handed" with this or you'll have people sneezing all around you. Beautiful and well done as are most Dior scents IMHO.

I really do enjoy this scent. Dep, dark, musky florals. A harsh juxtaposition of the stereotypical light take on most floral scents. It smells mature, womanly, and memorable. very long lasting and projects well. Would recommend for those looking for something deep, dark, and not gourmand heavy. The base of vanilla, tonka, and sandalwood act expertly as described: a base, simply there to elevate the deeper and richer florals that carry the scent forward first are foremost. Another excellent launch by Dior!!

first I took it, I saw the notes, I say it's nice, it will be vanilla with rose, come on, I didn't expect it to smell like those 1990 perfumes. It's not bad, just if you're a fan of vanilla (like me), I don't recommend it, but it's a nice classic scent neither sexy nor very sweet. For me it passes 7.5/10.🙂

Sandalwood heaven! This has a 90's style powdery benzoin sandalwood musk (Samsara, Allure, Tuscany, Rapture etc). I think this is underrated! Michael Kors Sexy Amber is in this family as well!

Joy, but with a gourmand base. Vanilla-Rose-Musk-Jasmine-Tonka Beans-Sandalwood, as voted by users. Like Joy, it is polite and pleasant, more memorable though. Joy is a soapy floral, Joy Intense a gourmand floral. Wearable in summer, but the performance now is not perfect. Would be nice for an evening. Pretty enough to become someone's obsession.

Is this really discontinued?? It is still available fairly easily but no 30ml makes me suspicious.. This should've been pillar not flanker, the OG is horrid n insipid. As @KumaraScents said, I have so much niche that in theory would take precedence, yet I find I have almost finished this one, thanks to it's genuinely happy carefree elegance. Imo it is better than Cocomad in this regard, it's less prissy.

This is the feminine version of Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford. Am I the only one smelling the hint of tobacco? Certainly a unisex perfume in my opinion. This also has the type of longevity I am looking for. Literally sticks to skin and clothes for days. Not for everyone tho. Strong bold scent so I never overdo it or else it becomes nauseating.

very complicated and crowd-pleasing scent. There must be more notes other than the pyramid above. dark unisex, mature woman...... I like this only for base note residue. It's feminine pink, and doesn't fade away. It's worth the price. (normal Joy is different.)

This is a truly lovely, wearable scent. Signature worthy and good for any season. I have loads of niche perfumes that you'd expect would take center stage over any designer, but there is something about this scent that just calls to me more than most of my large collection. I'm sad it got discontinued so quickly.

My thoughts after blind test. Slightly old-fashioned chypre with bright flowers (jasmine, ylang and rose) and rich balsamic vanilla base with mossy undertones. It has a balance of earthy and sweeter notes. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

I think it's a lovely perfume. It reminds me a bit of Burberry Body with the rosey vanilla. It is a body scent as it develops and warms up on one's body. It's soft, but needs to be applied sparingly as it can become too strong if over sprayed and could induce a headache. Lightly sprayed though it's fantastic. Gives me the vibe of an expensive, vintage cold cream, but in a very beautiful way. I would wear this going out to dinner or to a black tie event, but maybe even at home after an evening bath before bed.

Um… okay. So, I got a sample of this and I’m a little shook. I went to spray it, and when I did, this bright ORANGE liquid squirted out onto my hand! I was so shocked I wiped it away… is it SUPPOSED to be that color? All of the sudden, this super overpowering perfume smell enveloped.. a little reminiscent of the 2017 miss Dior, that unmistakable Demachy rose. I think had I not panic-wiped this off my hand, it would be a lot stronger. Now that it’s somewhat mellowed, this is a very powdery, vanillic rose smell… not exactly what I expected. It’s not bad at all but it smells like something my grandmother would wear, so I’ll be giving it to her. Wow, what a shock. It was literally traffic cone orange. Maybe I got an old sample. Smells lovely and classy, but not sure if its FBW for me personally. Edit: gave the sample to my grandmother, she ADORES it. Is thinking about buying a full bottle. Win for me, because if I ever want to wear it , I can just spray hers :) smells wonderful on her as well.

overall a nice smell , just the neroli smells grandma ish.

My chemistry makes this pretty much unadulterated floral. It’s a pretty traditional perfume. It smells nice, the florals smell upscale, but i’m just getting jasmine and rose. Not getting vanilla, citrus, or woods. hopefully this has more complexity on others, but it’s certainly one-dimensional on me.

Memorable would be my first experience of Joy intense . This Saturday I went to visit a local castle and grounds and as I was walking with my 11 year old son we could continuously smell the perfume of a lady walking in front of us.. I would say she was at least 3, 4 meters apart from us at all times .. at some point we complimented her and said that we loved the trail she leaves behind .. Still 20 minutes later we kept bumping into her and the smell still lingered.. in the end I asked her what perfumes she was wearing and surprise surprise it was Joy intense .. the powdery feeling was jsit sublime ..

This is an ok scent but it bears almost no resemblance to Joy. There are a million scents like this one on the market - I don’t know why Dior felt like they needed to make another one, and to do so under the name Joy is just sacrilegious.

The original Joy isn't anything special; its perfume that smells like perfume. Enter Joy Intense from stage right. The amped up vanilla puts Joy Intense in whole other ballpark compared to the original Joy. Joy Intense is a rich vanilla infused rose and jasmine bouquet. It's a beautiful vanilla-floral perfume that's apt for everyday wear. And it's one of the few perfumes that has bergamot listed in its notes but my nose can't detect it all, bless. 😂 It reminds me a little of Miss Dior 2021 but Miss Dior 2021 is more of a freshly watered roses with some vanilla scent than a vanilla-floral scent. Plus... Miss Dior 2021 is rather disappointing compared to other vanilla-floral perfumes Dior has available like Joy Intense or Poison Girl.

I love it so much. When I fist tested the original Dior Joy I thought it was incredibly basic and forgettable. I somehow ended up with a sample of Intense and kept testing it and found it so pretty and actually nothing smells like it! Maybe it's "basic", in the sense that it's a day to day, not too this, not too that perfume, but it's rather unique. A little bit fresh, a little bit sweet, not too serious, not too juvenile either, and there is something about it that just makes it special and addictive, a quirk, I can't put my finger on it. Smells like expensive body lotion. I would say that momentarily this is my favorite perfume, and I have the original Joy on my want list as well.
