Joyita is a curious find: despite its name and colour, it’s not a bomb of tobacco and spices. It has that refined Lancôme touch, evoking the waters of the 70s, with a very barbershop base. It shares floral notes with its namesake, but here there’s tobacco, leather, vetiver and plenty of moss. It evolves beautifully as it dries. Worth it if you love the 70s and catch it at a good price.
