Husband of the year (Eau de Joy)
Today my husband was seeing a customer who
wants to renovate her late grandpa's home to move in, thus she called
the team of technicians (bricklayer, plumber, electrician, etc.) for
a visit. My adorable husband, wandering around the house, notices a
packet on a desk, and getting closer to look better, he starts smiling with
amazement. He immediately understands he can't go away without the packet, so he asks the customer "Do
you need this, or maybe you would give it to me?" with a surprising straight face, stemming from the fact that
he already knows how I'll react when I see the gift. The customer
says he can keep it, and so the packet gets up to me, tonight.
In the box there's a 3ml
sample vial of Eau de Joy (Jean Patou): the original 1955 by Henri
Giboulet. Not only my husband remembered that Joy is a perfumery
masterpiece, but looking at the box and graphics realized that it is
a vintage and since the liquid was pale amber, it is also very well
preserved: the fragrance it is almost perfect. Hope to post the picture shortly (the one you see now portrays the mini-size).
The green opening is
softened by the most famous and expensive accord (rose/jasmine), gently sinking into a soft carpet of woody and animalic notes such as civet and
ambergris, whispering softly on the skin. Magnificent. Joy (composed
by Henri Almeras, 1930) was available only as parfum, so Eau de Joy
was created as a “parfum de toilette”, thus slightly different
and more "easy" to wear. The Joy edt was composed only later on, and
when the edp version was created, too, the Eau de Joy was discontinued.
(not only for things like this, but also for things like this) I love my husband.
