About
In a gesture typical of his bold and generous spirit, Jean Patou created Joy as a reaction to the 1929 Wall Street crash. It was offered as a gift to his cherished American customers; a hymn to life in what was a difficult time for many of his clients. Joy has since become one of the greatest fragrances in haute parfumerie.
