Our take

Joie de Vivre opens with a brisk eucalyptus note that is cool and slightly medicinal, joined by lime that adds a sharp citrus edge. Hay brings a dry, grassy texture to the top, keeping the start from feeling like a standard citrus splash. The eucalyptus remains noticeable as the heart develops, where rose appears in two forms. Wild rose offers a fresh, slightly dewy petal scent, while the standard rose note deepens the floral presence. Geranium adds a green, leafy facet that bridges the opening to the floral core. Cassia introduces a warm, fresh spicy tone that sits close to the skin, providing a gentle heat that balances the cooler eucalyptus and lime.

The transition into the base brings sandalwood, which lends a smooth, creamy woodiness without dominating the composition. Leather appears alongside it, offering a mild, supple texture that complements the rose rather than overtaking it. Litchi introduces a soft fruitiness that feels light and slightly juicy, pairing well with the remaining floral notes. Musk settles in the background, creating a clean, subtle foundation that supports the other elements. The leather and sandalwood together give the fragrance a grounded feel, while the litchi and rose keep the profile bright.

The overall character is woody and aromatic, with strong green and fresh spicy accents running throughout. The citrus and fruity elements stay present, preventing the leather and musk from making the scent too heavy. It is a unisex fragrance that holds its distinct notes clearly, allowing the eucalyptus, rose, and sandalwood to each occupy their own space. The hay and geranium maintain the green thread from start to finish, and the cassia keeps the spicy accord active alongside the softer litchi and wild rose petals.
