The notes sound less than thrilling to me.
Still, I can´t take my eyes off that back– I mean, bottle.
Will try it as soon as they arrive (probably in March to Buenos Aires)
I don't think I have ever smelled a Joop and I don't think I will start here…
I have a mini of Joop Muse and that isn't thrilling either – an inoffensive but ultimately ho-hum lily-based floral.
“Frozen lavender”. I want to give some copy-writer a frozen slap in the face. Enough of this nonsense!
That print ad makes me think “She's Very Charlie!”…
It isn't a bad back
Tama, I haven't either.
Seems like I've seen frozen lavender several times lately — must be some specific aroma chemical, maybe??
Yes!!
Actually the copywriter is doing a much better job than the perfumer.
Few perfumistas can claim, like The Mistress of Spices, “Equal love to all, particular to none”. Most have a favorite fragrance or fragrance group. Still, as a perfumista one must be able to recognise a well-made fragrance, favorite or not.
Joop copywriters never failed to convince me to sample the fragrances – and Joop creations never failed to disappoint me.
Hence, the first sentence
The original Joop was SO not mundane. I wonder why all the flankers seem so toned down
While I had thankfully moved on, I had a bottle of the original Joop Homme back in the early nineties. The juice is pink and the fragrance itself can only be described as sticky-sweet; bergamot, cinnamon, honey, honeysuckle, orange blossom and jasmine all thrown together to produce a scent so heavy and thick that it would immediately suck the air out of any room I entered. Looking back on this, I truly have no idea what I was thinking! But I suppose we all have our fragrance faux pas, no?
LOL — nice logic!
Is this one a flanker? I didn't think it was (?)
I've heard good things about at least one of the Joop scents, and now I'm trying to remember if that was it? Sadly, I can't call it up.
