Dior Joy Perfume by Christian Dior, The many elements of Dior Joy come together to express the perfumer’s vision of light. It begins with fruity top notes of citrusy mandarin and bergamot which rest atop floral middle notes of Grasse rose and jasmine. The perfume is supported by earthy base notes of cedar, sandalwood, white musk, and patchouli. Inspired by pointillist paintings that use a pattern of distinct colors to create a complete image, this perfume’s many facets blend into a soft but vibrant scent, clear and brilliant light transformed into a perfume.
