Is it for men? My mother used Joya, and this Eau de Joya smells fresh, so fresh.

What Eau Joya was for men??? Now I find out. I had it during my adolescence and it never seemed masculine to me. Seeing photos of its box on Google (my 30ml bottle sold without it) confirms it had a very sober sapphire blue design, giving it an androgynous air that made me hesitate, but: I am certain it was not for men because if there is one thing I never smelled in it, it is rosemary. Besides, it was that kind of EDT that felt clean and light as clear water, in the style of Sunflowers Sunlit Showers (I’m talking about sensations, not notes). On this and everything else, I agree point for point with Ícara’s review. In reality, the current fragrance that reminds me of it greatly is Intrusion by Oscar de la Renta, and I suspect the common link between the two is the grapefruit or some bitter citrus, white flowers, musk, and above all, star anise. Eau Joya was sophisticated, minimalist and intriguing, visually enhanced by that faceted and stylish diamond-like bottle. It was ethereal and very crystalline, and any resemblance to the vintage Maja was pure coincidence. Maja was a bookish aldehydic floral amber and Eau Joya a musky citrus floral that was neither an update nor a reinterpretation: they had nothing to do with each other. Indeed, it was more appealing than Maja and was very misunderstood, lasting only a sigh on the counters. What a pity because today it would receive a better welcome.

I don’t know why they compare it with Joya, they had not a shred in common! They only shared the bottle, the name and the longevity. The intense tint of Joya betrayed its scent, whereas Eau Joya was subtle, citrusy and luminous with that rich orange blossom. For men? What a mistake! It was an misunderstood jewel and ahead of its time. Knowing it was by Ramón Monegal (the one behind Adolfo Domínguez’s Orange Blossom), I understood why she remembers it. For me, it was a relief when Eau Joya came out and my mother stopped using Joya on Sundays; with this one, I would ask her to let me have a little bit.
