Note: Please understand that this website is not affiliated with the Corday or the Jovoy companies in any way, it is only a reference page for collectors and those who have enjoyed their fragrances.
The goal of this website is to show the present owners of the companies how much we miss the discontinued classics and hopefully, if they see that there is enough interest and demand, they will bring back the perfume!
Please leave a comment below (for example: of why you liked the perfume, describe the scent, time period or age you wore it, who gave it to you or what occasion, any specific memories), who knows, perhaps someone from the company might see it.
