Have the Courage to be Average!
No, no, no! I don’t mean to say that the scent is "only" average. On the contrary, I actually find it really good, as you can see from my rating.
Fresh-alcoholic, then sweet watermelon with spicy flowers that are simultaneously gentle - that is the top note.
Joyful immediately reminds me a bit of the rare Red Door Revealed. This association intensifies in the heart note, which is no surprise since the main floral note is the same: peony. And peony is very prominent here as well as there. I like that!
While the peony in Red Door Revealed is more powdery, in Joyful it is increasingly characterized by sweetness and then clearly drifts into the previously weaker, bitter undertone. Since I also sense a pencil note here, I could imagine that there is also some cedar involved, maybe even a hint of cardamom. But it’s probably once again the currant that contributes these notes without me perceiving it as currant.
The watermelon recedes further into the background over time, but the sweetness remains. And that is also the reason why I ultimately do not add Joyful to my collection permanently. Even though the sweetness is pleasant and neither sharp nor piercing nor honey-like, but rather sweet like flowers, the extent is just a bit too much for me.
In the base, the parallel to Red Door Revealed fades as the peony bids farewell. What remains is a soft, friendly, sweet floral scent that is uncomplicatedly cheerful and easy to wear. Overall, Joyful has a decent longevity of certainly 6 hours, even though it is more of a light, summery fragrance.
This is a really good scent, but not one that will become famous. It is neither extraordinary enough nor is it a pioneer in any way. It is also not from a fanatically acclaimed brand and it will not shock anyone either.
However, it is a scent that can certainly be popular, one that many like, both on themselves and on others; it is a fragrance that people will choose as their signature because it is so friendly, so pleasant. Overall, it is thus somewhat average in a certain way.
I find average to be good.
“Indifference is the revenge with which the world pays mediocrity,” Oscar Wilde is said to have remarked. That sounds witty and true, but one can also see it differently:
We live in a performance society where many, especially many sensitive people, evaluate themselves too harshly and thus hinder themselves in advance. For example, they tell themselves that they don’t even need to apply for a job, as there are surely better-trained, better-selling, better-looking people. Or someone says to themselves: Oh no, I won’t even try to perform publicly with my band, there are so many better ones. And writing songs? Heaven forbid! There are so many great composers out there; what I write would be ridiculous in comparison.
Sometimes it helps to consider that not only the best work somewhere or that the best, most famous, most brilliant perform in clubs. Even on the radio, songs are played in droves that do not exceed the complexity of "All My Ducks."
How strange the world would be if only the "best," the "perfect" were to appear? And above all: Quality is usually in the eye of the beholder. Or in their nose.
