Reply to: What Enjoli is by Enjoli
merry's right joli(e) does mean pretty, Enjoli is a perfume, I think it's probably from enjouler (sorry no french keyboard), to tempt.
Literally in French it doesn't make sense, "In pretty" or "Into Pretty."
"Enjoli is an inexpensive womens’ fragrance manufactured by Revlon. It has dubbed the first "feminist" perfume. The 1970’s commercial gave the impression of the "woman who has it all" being one who could have a successful, high-paid career and still take care of the cooking and pleasing her man at home. The fragrance is still available today."
