Bvlgari pour Femme opens with fresh and crystalline top notes; it develops around a flowered middle note where the dominant flavour of Sambac jasmine tea then mixes into delicately sensual aromas, such as Mimosa of Grasse. Prelude Rose, used for the first time in perfume, underlines the perfume's timeless character, and delicately fades into a powdery, sensual bottom note of musk.
Created over half a century ago by Robert Ricci, this legendary perfume is still today one of the most recognized essences. Delicate, magical, the fragrance brings a feeling of freedom as for the world famous kissing doves on the bottle cap.
Joy was created in 1930 to chase the Depression blues away. Joy symbolizes humour, sophistication, and the joy of living. A single ounce of Joy contains 10,600 jasmine flowers and 28 dozen Bulgarian roses. The original flacon was designed in 1930 by Louis Sue. Its luxuriousness has earned Joy the reputation of \'costliest perfume in the world.\'
