A ‘modern-chypre’ from the begining of 2000s, EnJoy is certainly closer to mainstream fruit or rose/patchouli combos than the vintage glory of earlier and legendary Patous. On my skin, I would even call it a fruity floral as it manages to be even less offensive than Miss Dior Cherie, which is not offensive at all. It had an adventurous pop-corn thing though.
This lack of adventure does not make EnJoy an ordinary fragrance for me because it still has one of my biggest pleasures in the world of perfumes: Patou’s banana accord that I first met in my beloved Sira des Indes. First green banana peel and if overdosed yellow bananas that are never stale. I love how older perfumes used fruits unashamedly in wonderful creations – to me Le Parfum de Therese is the absolute goddes of this attitude. And Patou does it so well, too.
Here, there is also pear and cassia, adding a lightheartedness to a sweet and comfortable rose.
This is the sweet opening of Enjoy that I enjoy a lot. None of this is like the thick, musky, jammy, sticky fruits. Things have their own sweetness but I can say that Enjoy is one of those perfumes that treat fruit like flowers.
All these transition into a beautiful, light, comfortable floral heart which I love – though I’m not a big fan of florals. White but light florals. Nothing sultry or indolic here. Enjoy’s heart is creamy and pleasant like an expensive body lotion sometimes. I fell in love with it when I was focused on my work and then hit by a waft that made me think “Where does this lovely smell come from?”
The drydown is a soft skin scent that lasts hours on me. Sometimes, I will get more of some very soft, well-blended patchouli that just adds grounding to it.
Enjoy is not the most unique fragrance I have smellt, no. But it always comforts me, makes me happy and it actually draws a lot of compliments. It is approachable, comfortable but also graceful. There isn’t one bit of screechiness in any phase. The feeling or the mood I get from it is close to what I get from Hypnose nowadays (except the fruity beginning) though Enjoy is sheerer.

Enjoy by Jean Patou is a Chypre Floral that was launched in 2002. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Michel Duriez.
Top notes; orange, banana, black currant, mandarin orange, cassia, pear and bergamot
Middle notes; Indian jasmine, Turkish rose, Bulgarian rose, cardamom and aldehydes
Base notes: amber, patchouli, musk and vanilla.
Enjoy was the sequel to a trio of perfumes from 2001 that launched Jean-Michel Duriez as in-house perfumer at Jean Patou. Nacre, Hip & Pan Ame were fruity-florals and were not that successful. They were discontinued fairly fast.
My conclusion, strongly dislike it.
Initially Enjoy is bitter and VERY unpleasant, I detect mostly orange but not in a good way and no banana or pear but lots of bergamot. Within 3-5 minutes the roses take over and there is very little jasmine, just pure rose with a hint of the cardamom to my nose. This is the point where I wanted to wash it off. A muddy, dirty rose fragrance with headache inducing aldehydes reminding me of typical mall fragrances. Certainly nothing unique or pleasant. After an hour or so, the amber and musk kick in, some of the rose fades, patchouli & a teeny bit of vanilla & can be detected. After several hours at times I get a whiff that smells like Angel gone bad.
This to me is just blah and not at all unique. I would never remember this and say “Oh, she is wearing Enjoy”. A very blah, unpleasant floral chypre that dries down to a musky rose, no thanks. I tested it for 3 different days, wearing it all day. It last on me about 5-6 hours, but I can still detect it if I put my nose to my arm for about 8 hours. It smells the best when it is almost gone, not a good sign.
Today is the 3rd time I’ve worn it and I just washed it off. Even after I washed it off I can still smell it but I am done. The happiest part of my experience with this was (after 3 tries), washing it off and being done with it. Hard pass for me on this one and FYI, it smells nothing like the original vintage Joy, not even remotely similar.
I would file this one under the AWFUL category.

I liked this a lot! But love it . . .? Maybe not quite.
To me this seemed like a simple and subdued pretty fragrance (not a bad thing, but in stark contrast to Joy or 1,000). EnJoy smells to me of a softer, more feminine and more youthful woman than Joy.
I don’t really get any of the fruit notes that some mentioned.
I’m not sure that this scent is *right for me* but I did EnJoy it much more than those other illustrious scents of Patou. 😉

I was given a sample of this and after I experienced it I just had to have it !!!
Fruity, flowery, musky…
Created by the house of Jean Patou in 2003 for the younger market, Enjoy by Jean Patou perfume is a sultry fruity-floral that contains notes of bergamot, roses, jasmine, vanilla and musk. The flirty scent is house in a beautiful bottle that is a violet version of the original Joy bottle designed by Louis Sue.

Recommended Use
Anytime wear
this is how it is described by the company, At first I thought I really liked this but it started to smell sort of cheap after a while and was glad when it was finished ( I spray perfumes I don’t like as air freshener sometimes lol)

Well I thought this would be some kind of cousin or sister scent to Joy, which I used to love, but it wasn’t. I guess I am not a fruit person after all if that is the reason I disliked it so much.
It actually smelled cheap and overbearing on me.

I am not sure if it is berries our blackcurrant, but fragrance is fruity and sweet with a bit of heavy after note but not too much may be worn daytime for me a way better than Joy

This opens with a tart mixture of berries, although I can’t detect strawberry or anything else singly. There is something in the background here that is almost disturbing me. It’s like every time I take a whiff, the last thing I smell (and therefore the scent Im left with) is the green banana. Its not terribe, its just…there, and a bit strange. So far I don’t really like this much, then again I’m not a huge fruity-floral fan, but Im always open to something new. So far I would describe this as something fresh clean and fruity suitable for work, and that’s about it.
Amber, musk, patchouli, vanilla…can’t smell ANY of those yet. Will update in drydown…

Tart, astringent, with only hints of the jammy, green banana paste found in many other Patous, “Enjoy” attempts to slowly introduce a new generation of young women to their original grande dame, “Joy”. “Enjoy” opens in a burst of berry-hedione-aldehydic dryness, with subtle rosy-florals dancing in the background. It then evolves into a powdery, citrusy-floral hum that smells of damask rose, freesia and lemon. “Enjoy” finally dries down into what smells like an astringent sandal and soapy rosewood (smells like the woody oiliness of young sandalwood, rather than the soapy-creaminess of the older sandal of vintage “Joy”) with hints of citrus-berry still soaking in it. Overall, it’s pleasant…but I’m surprised at Patou’s point of view; the jammy-rose aspect of “Joy”–its sole youthful quality–is replaced by a mandarin/lemon tartness, almost reminiscent of the animalic headiness–and consummate maturity–of the major civet note found in “1000” (Patou’s “Fleurissimo”). If I wanted to update “Joy” for new audiences, I would remove the civet and replace it with something green, yet carnal smelling, like figs and honey. Anyhow; “Enjoy” is lovely enough–a tart, crisp aldehyldic floral and citrus blend, in the spirit of Estee Lauder’s “White Linen”, Prescriptive’s “Calyx” or Chanel’s “Cristalle”—but don’t expect the hazy aldehydes, jammy, honeyed roses and creamy/powdery white florals of “Joy”. “Enjoy” is an entirely different kind of fragrance.

LOVELY

Generally I am not into fruity florals but I so much wished to try it, because I thought Jean Patou makes quality perfumes (I do love Joy, by the way).
EnJoy is very light-hearted, and is upfront a bunch of ripe berries (I detect raspbeer, cassis, blueberry, strawberry) and some other tropical fruit; this may be a little cloying for non-fruit lovers (the only fruits I love in perfumery are citrus notes).
Then it goes on with the floral notes, that I like better (white flowers, some rose I guess). The drydown is warm and soft, patchouli like. But you still smell the berries of the beginning.
Very nice for a young lady, probably not structured enough for an experienced perfumista…
Excellent staying power.
All in all it’s a lovely perfume, worth a try, but not something that will ever be in my top 10 list.
