  I don’t know why people compare it to Joya; they had nothing in common! They only shared the bottle, the name, and longevity. Joya’s intense tint betrayed its scent, while Eau Joya was subtle, citrusy, and luminous with that rich orange blossom. Was it for men? What a mistake! It was an misunderstood gem, way ahead of its time. Once I learned it was by Ramón Monegal (the same creator as Adolfo Domínguez’s Orange Blossom), I understood why she remembered it. For me, it was a relief when Eau Joya launched and my mom stopped using Joya on Sundays; with this one, I’d actually ask her to let me borrow some.

  What Eau Joya was for men??? Well, now I find out. I had it in my teens and it never seemed masculine to me. Looking at photos of its box on Google (my 30 ml bottle sold without one), it’s true it had a very sober sapphire blue design, giving it an androgynous vibe that made me hesitate, but: I’m certain it wasn’t masculine because if there’s one thing I never smelled in it, it’s rosemary. Plus, it was that kind of EDT that felt clean and light as clear water, in the style of Sunflowers Sunlit Showers (I’m talking sensations, not notes). On this and everything else, I agree point for point with Ícaro’s review. Actually, the fragrance that reminds me of it a lot is Intrusion by Oscar de la Renta, and I suspect the common thread between the two is bitter grapefruit or some citrus, white flowers, musk, and above all, star anise. Eau Joya was sophisticated, minimalist, and intriguing, visually enhanced by that faceted, stylish bottle. It was ethereal and very crystalline, and any resemblance to vintage Maja was pure coincidence. Maja was a bookish aldehydic floral amber, while Eau Joya was a citrus-floral musk that wasn’t an update or reinterpretation: they had nothing to do with each other. Indeed, it was more appealing than Maja and was very misunderstood, lasting only a breath on the counters. What a shame, because today it would be much better received.

Eau Joya had a sophisticated, minimalist, and intriguing character, visually enhanced by that diamond-like, stylish faceted bottle. It was ethereal and very crystal-clear, and any resemblance to the vintage Maja was pure coincidence. Maja was a bookish aldehydic floral amber, while Eau Joya was a citrus-floral musk that wasn’t an update or reinterpretation at all—they had absolutely 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 shame, because today it would surely be better received.
