Jovoy Paris is the in-house line of the historic Rue de Castiglione niche perfumery in Paris, a curator-and-house double life that gives the line rare narrative depth. The 17 live pieces on Scendira average .90, are strongly unisex (11 of 17), and skew Fresh (5) with Woody (4). Prices span $167-$220 (average $195), solid Paris-niche band with tight pricing. Standout live pieces: Remember Me ($187.18,.17, creamy vanilla tea with bright citrus zest), Incident Diplomatique ($187.18,.11, smoky vetiver with green mandarin and nutmeg warmth), La Liturgie des Heures ($220,.07, smoky resin incense on damp forest floors), Oriental ($210,.03, peach-rose tea with warm peppered amber) and Pavillon Rouge ($187.18,.01, smoky leather club with sweet vanilla-tinged whisky). Best read as the Rue de Castiglione house's own signature curation.
