Smelled this on a holiday in Greece in 1992 for the first time, changed my life. Still remember that moment, smelling this woke up my passion for scents. Legend.
It’s definitely worth it!! I own a ton of fragrances , both niche and designer but when you bring back an old fragrance that people aren’t smelling as much anymore, it sets you apart from the normal crowd and becomes a huge compliment monster.
Exactly, i think the same way. Few months ago i went to a party & i was dressed nice ect.. & i wore, Giorgio Beverly Hills (1982), & few younger people than me were responding to it & i remember one saying, wow! what are you wearing?! Another person who was old enough, asked me what fragance i was wearing, & when i told him it was Giorgio Beverly Hills, he couldn't believe it.
Me and Joop will always be the best of friends. I am now in my 40’s still rocking it out and still as happy with it as i always been! It’s crazy how a scent could mean so much to you! So happy it’s still around and yet being glorified by many who still love it and enjoy it like myself. Great video!😎
@@doctorsuerohd ... Yes man!!! Sadly i caught the virus about 2 weeks ago. Got really sick and lost my taste and smell. But thankfully I’m getting better and my smell and taste is coming back. A lot of people are still without smell or taste for long periods of time. I was getting scared there for a moment. Lol.. Not being able to smell my Cologne anymore or anyone else’s would kill me itself.😭
OMG you captured my feelings exactly. Discovered this in my final year of high school - 1989 - and have loved it ever since. When it was no longer available, I flipped out when I discovered in the UAE. Now in China, found it again. Fragrances and emotion. My all-time fave.
This fragrance is a masterpiece! I'd would much rather spend my money on Joop Homme than more expensive fragrances. It has always been in my top 5 all time fragrances.
This was one of the first colognes that I ever wore and didn't realize I was causing headaches to the people around me at school. It was a true beast mode scent and everyone at parties wore this. Everyone smelled the same back then.
This is still one of my most complimented fragrances. People love it on me. I think this is not necessarily a gourmand fragrance but it should be seen as the first “clubbing” type of fragrance. I’m not sure you get one million or even jpg without Joop! coming out first.
Yes, Steven, I'm nostalgic of this fragrance. I had two bottles if I'm not wrong. It was spectacular and many people loved it. I've been buying a lot of fragrances in this time, but I'm loyal to this fragrance.
This was my brothers first perfume. I used to steal hes perfume when going out and I had amazing reactions 10 years ago . It is still one of hour favorites , but the performance back then was amazing . I gifted my brother 2 years ago another bottle and while it still smells the same , it perform around 6 hours , instead of 12 ( and was projecting like a monster ) . It’s really good . Thanks for the review , a good clasic:)
I love your story! I first scented this 25 years ago when I sneaked into my big brothers after shave, I instantly fell in love with it and have been using it ever since. Sadly my brother past away suddenly in the beginning of this year at the age of 55 - so I will never stop using it because it always reminds me of him and my wife also still likes it after all those years ❤ My daughter is travelling overseas as this is written and bought one for me 😂
Joop is a casual fun scent that should be worn in the late fall and winter. It’s not something that should be worn in the office. It is something that you wear more for yourself. Just don’t go crazy with the sprays.
Currently between fragrances, I was a little embarrassed to be honest, but picked this up from Walgreens to hold me over. I used to wear it back in my early 20s, at nearly 36 years old, I can't say that I'm upset. Pleasant, kind of opulent for the price and very unique.
I am crazy about Joop! Just found 6.7 oz bottles for myself and my brother for $25.00 USD. It’s fantastic, but I appreciate and enjoy your thinking and your views. You earned yourself a subscriber, and I look forward to learning from you. Nostalgia... It was a big factor in buying this again, and it’s why my brother likes it so much, too. He was very happy to receive it.
Joop! Homme is a polarizing masterpiece. Have received both compliments and firm instructions to go away. "Atomic Cherry Cinnamon Flowers." I think it's great!
When this scent same out it was a slight game changer. Back in the day this scent commanded the space in clubs and late night Autumn parties. I have great memories of this cologne. Smelled good on men and women. One or two sprays max! 👍🏾
My girlfriend LOVES this and forced me to buy a new bottle as my old one ran out. This came out a year before I was born, and it brings me back to that time when this was considered avant-garde. It’s cheap, and it’s the original of the MB Individual and Creed’s Original Santal. I sometimes pronounce Joop with the letter “J” so I can say that I’ll be out jooping today. Thank you for the review!
I just bought one on-line for my son, who is your age, and now I was looking for reviews as I am not sure I made the best decision. He likes sweet fragrances, but still modern. I wanted to send it for Christmas.
Discovered this when I was 21 ( my sis was a fragrance girl in a local boutique ) I wasnt big on colognes due to some of them just dont mix well with a persons body chemistry ( you know who you are ). A 3 oz bottle of this last me well over a year due to only wearing a small burst of it at a time, the scent is soft and pleasant, at 49 now I still get compliments on what I'm wearing. I've 3 colognes I wear on and off JOOP! is and will always be my little go to scent, it is very faint during the day with just hints of it on me. My Wife has a small Teddy Bear she keeps on the bed when I;m not home that has a spritz on it of this cologne. Says it makes her feel safe when Im not beside her at nights due to work. Just give this stuff a try the price pint is very economical even in todays economy. Happy 2021 its almost Summer time :)
Got a bottle yesterday (75ml for 19 €!) and it still fucking rocks. Longevity still there. That bitter-sweet sourcherry vibe with the tonka base is not far of TF Lost Cherry for a fraction of the price with wayyyy better performance.
@@mealsonwheels5139 .. I would say yes to a certain degree. But the way it smelled back in the days were more masculine. Not saying it smells very feminine now but there’s some kind of twist to it that makes it appeal even more so to females. And they wanna wear it too! My sister always steal mine!😭
For me personally, this is the most confusing cologne. It has been 6 months since i blind bought it,but not able to tell whether i like it or not. Anyone feels the same ?
I never used it back in the day and only in the last four years discovered it. In those for years I may have worn it at most15 times so it’s not a love for me. I think it’s a mild like in my collection, it’s to aggressive and assertive for most situations so I seldom pull for it. Today I went for a two and a half hour walk in 28°F weather and for that...Perfect 👌🏻
Joop is classic 90's smell. Its like having Return of the Jedi on VHS. Or Techmo Bowl on Nintendo. It has charm. You will time machine yourself with just a couple of sprays. And you are back to when R and B singers could really sing. Rap music was threatening. And your clothes never got too small no matter how much you grew. Good times.
Joop! Homme is still quite popular here in Brazil, even during the intense heat. I used to enjoy it a lot when I started collecting perfumes. I had many... MANY... flankers of Joop! Homme that are more suitable for hkt environments. A great fragrance, like early releases by Joop!
same. someone gifted the body wash to my father and he didn't care for the smell so he passed it along to me and I absolutely loved it. 20+ years later I found a bottle at Walmart for super cheap so I bought it out of nostalgia. it smelled just like I remembered but I was like, "I would never wear this today..."
Joop had been solid a huge big hit and still complex and long lasting to most of todays boring niche fragrances. Dior Homme ( smells of Guerlain by the way with twists added ) a hyped fragrance by the community has already been reformulated in all its flanker and original forms and not even like that the original already got taken out of the US market in stores and they had to introduce a whole different Dior Homme. Worked years in the fragrance industry and never had a soul ask for Dior Homme. Its sales whats dictates the huge sellers and timeless works of arts not what the community want to make others believe.
Hello Stephen. To me, it is absolutely worth it still. I first smelled this back in 1993? and fell in love with it and I still am. I have 3 bottles of it.
Lol, Joop was my signature scent in high school and well into college, 1991-1995 (I also wore Fahrenheit, and Zino). I recently bought a bottle, it's different, but it still brought back SO many memories of young adulthood; learning who I was, instead of who my parents wanted me to be. Nostalgia is an understatement. It definitely left its mark, so many people still think of me if/ when they smell it or hear about it.
I actually still wear it! And it’s tied to me as well. People know me by it’s smell. And it’s definitely not the same. But i still take it as it is. Rather then not bother with it at all.🙂
the idea that people remember YOU when they smell that fragrance is a powerful thing. I don't have any colognes like these guys here, I have 1 Joop and like 3 other fragrances and the Joop just ALWAYS feels like the best move. I get lots of compliments on it while I'm out and about, and I wear this so much that people think of ME when they smell it too. Love this stuff.
You guys need to try the Eau de Parfum? Made the original not as “screechy”, if you will. What I loved about the original is how different it smells on me compared to the majority. On others it’s that really sweet scent we all know; on me, that known sweetness doesn’t pop, instead it goes wicked spicy and musky, even though musk isn’t a note. Naturally, I loved the uniqueness my skin produced, cuz it was gooooood.
Purchased this a few days ago and it came in tomorrow. INSTANT!!! Instant regret buy. Even if I saw you video first, I wouldn't have totally understood this fragrance. I grew up in the 80's/90's and I don't ever remember smelling this. My initial reaction to this was, YUCK!!! I'm gonna stick to MB: Individual. ✌😁
Joop! Is an amazing fragrance. I like it better than Dior Sauvage , Versace eros , and even bleu de Chanel. But that's just me and I'm sure theres many others who agree. We all have different tastes and that's why I don't really takes others opinions of a fragrances too seriously .
Just picked this up for $14.99 at Burlington’s. I just can’t believe the bang for the buck. I really, really like the smell. In terms of being “brought back to the 90’s” I’m 26 so it smells new to my nose.
People don't realize today how much of a splash Joop! made when it came out. It was truly considered a unique fragrance. It has all the elements of a gourmand fragrance, which really should secure it as the first. Mulger, although I'm not knocking his fragrances, seems to garner undue hype, which has zealous fans calling his fragrances the first for everything while decrying other fragrances.
Steven, I had the original formula of this fragrance that I acquired shortly after its release and I got a "reformulated" one last year. And you're right. The scent itself hasn't changed really drastically like some other classics and it still performs very strongly. I must say, though, that the scent was noticeably sharper and richer as far as I can remember. This one actually came out when there weren't too many sweet fragrances for men and it was quite revolutionary and groundbreaking at the time in the market. I happen to still have a bottle of Jil Sander Feeling Man from the early 90s that was probably inspired by this one but it's more toned down and wearable. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued years ago and it's commanding outrageous prices on eBay these days.
UltraSupra thought so I’m new to fragrances and I want to get a £30 fragrance that’s strong I tried David off cool water and no one in my class could smell it and I don’t like that plus it smashed in pe so I need another one any suggestions ?
UltraSupra I want something sweet but not really sweet like fresh sweet if that’s even a thing and I want something strong Or what do you think a 14yr old would wear
Blast from the past. I used to wear this in the '90s. I rotated what I wore often, mostly finding something I liked and used it until it was out and then get something different. The last time I wore this was in the mid 2000's. I remember because I was having a cook out and a coworker had used my bathroom and came out smelling so strong of Joop hahahaha. Now I keep about 4 different fragrances in rotation. I am kind of surprised this is still around, because I never thought of it as being very popular like Drakkar Nior. I never really had any friends that wore Joop and never saw it on any friends dressers, so figured it would be discontinued by now. I was also surprised to see that Cool Water has lasted so long too, although I remember really liking that cologne too.
Not a fan someone bought this as a birthday gift for me and I realized it would make me smell like old man. Totally a cologne I would see my grandfather wearing. I’m more of a Ralph Lauren polo red polo Black but my favorite is marble from Bath and Bodyworks
Joop Homme is more suited for older men and smells very synthetic, pending on the age of the person I’d go for Ralph Lauren Polo Sport for the younger person. Joop Homme was the first aftershave I ever smelt (found it my dad’s room), so despite it’s flaws, this aftershave will always have a place in my heart
See, I kind of always thought Joop worked better on older men too (30+), but after watching this video and reading the comments it was big in the club scenes when it came out and that’s def a younger crowd, so who knows, probably is different for everyone based on experiences.
It is the absolute truth!... when you want something different from the craziness going on today with clones and flankers! I have my original bottle from back in high school as well as the extreme version! I really don't wear it much in the summer, but more in the fall and winter...as it still carries crazy compliments...and not everyone is wearing it now, as they were back in my high school days
Just got some at Burlington , cuz I am on a budget .. Smells pretty good , a lil outdated ,,, do kinda miss my Versace "man" with the blue snake skin box.. But I will say I do have to admit joop is a unique smell... There's this very upscale Arabic smell shop in Tysons corner mall in VA outside of DC. Very interesting, expensive aromas in there . Should check it out . Thanks for the review ! I could see this working in some good 90s raves :] probably now to...
Have bought my first bottle today for CA $16. Back in 1989 (when this came out) I bought my first Fahrenheit bottle in France (launched in 1988), saw the Joop! but never got to buy it. I now have. Love it.
Stellar video, Steven! I wore Joop! during the early 1990s, and loved it back then. I still like it, but given much more exposure to fragrances since then, it doesn't strike me nearly as striking as it did during the 1990s. Anyway, hope you have a superb day!
Nothing smells so good from Joop house than Joop Nightflight .you gonna always get compliments more than many fragrance out there,such a shame they discontinued and on Ebay is over 150 $.Joop Nightflight compliment you gonna get: 100%.Joop Homme:30 %.Many people hated.
If I still have it, do I replace it, or use it? I have only a few scents. Is there any need to add to this? I was thinking of Dior EDP 1) Joop Homme 2) Tiffany & Love for Him 3) Paco Rabanne Invictus Legend, 4) Paco Rabanne Phantom, and 5) Royal Crown Sultan
Many people who love and dislike this perfume. It is not a perfume I have used before. These perfumes made me curious. I ordered yesterday. I am writing from Turkey. Unfortunately, this perfume has a lot of fake here. I hope the perfume that will come to me will be original, not fake and I do not regret buying it.
This is such a timely review - don’t think I’ve ever smelled Joop! Homme, but I was just contemplating buying it yesterday just to have as part of my collection
I brought the splash version without intending too today but I'd definitely buy the spray version it's super cheap if you're waiting on spending 50+ on aftershave and need to smell decent in the mean time
I LOVE Joop🥰, but my wife loves the smell of CK One on me. I just love stuff that smells good 🤷🏽♂️. Joop for me last on me all day. I’d wake up the next morning still smelling like Joop, right before I jump in the shower. I didn’t know that Joop came out in 1989😳. I was five years old. I got into Joop because of my father-n-law. I’d wear anything as long as it smells really good to me🤷🏽♂️. But so far, Joop is definitely my go to. I need to try other things🤔
Intresting video my friend, thank you. I understand your thoughts but i dissagree a bit, the awnser if it is stil worth or not depends a bit of the age of custumer. A jung person who is born around 2000 can wear this pretty fine as a club scent because for them this is somthing new, they wasn't born when it was released.
I love joop. The longevity of it is awesome. It's not an old fashioned scent in the sense that it still attracts compliments to this day. Also is that a bottle of Aspen behind you? Lol haven't seen that stuff in years. Back in middle school that was the cheap version of cool water. Haha nice. If you get a chance, look for Design for men by Paul Sebastian. 1995. It's amazing.
Never had this back in the day ,, guess I didn't know ... We all wore ,you know the usual polo sport , Nautica , Kenneth Cole black a lil later , Armani , maybe some Issey Miyake if you were big pimpin lol
i can buy this in Australia today on sale at chemist warehouse $32aud for the 200ml bottle. What a bargain for this fragrance. This was one my first fragrances when i was a young teenager along with versace blue jeans. When i hit around 20 i got aqua di gio and jaun paul gauliter (late 90s).
Just wore it the other day...only 2nd time since buying it nearly 3 years ago...only can take it in small doses...have used it to spray bedroom before having overnight company...lol
I disagree completely. Joop is my most complimented fragrance lol. You have to remember that the vast majority of people that are smelling what you're wearing have no concept of fragrances. Your advice is basically for frag heads. Joop, Fahrenheit and Cool Water hold up well unlike so many others of that era. Buy it...girls love this stuff.

Smelled this on a holiday in Greece in 1992 for the first time, changed my life. Still remember that moment, smelling this woke up my passion for scents. Legend.
Totally worth it in my opinion because it’s cheap and it’s a piece of fragrance history. Love it or hate it, this is a legendary fragrance.
It’s definitely worth it!! I own a ton of fragrances , both niche and designer but when you bring back an old fragrance that people aren’t smelling as much anymore, it sets you apart from the normal crowd and becomes a huge compliment monster.
Exactly, i think the same way. Few months ago i went to a party & i was dressed nice ect.. & i wore, Giorgio Beverly Hills (1982), & few younger people than me were responding to it & i remember one saying, wow! what are you wearing?! Another person who was old enough, asked me what fragance i was wearing, & when i told him it was Giorgio Beverly Hills, he couldn't believe it.
Me and Joop will always be the best of friends.

I agree with u!!! That's why I bought it again hours ago (200ml one)
@@doctorsuerohd ... Yes man!!! Sadly i caught the virus about 2 weeks ago. Got really sick and lost my taste and smell. But thankfully I’m getting better and my smell and taste is coming back. A lot of people are still without smell or taste for long periods of time.

Not being able to smell my Cologne anymore or anyone else’s would kill me itself.😭

That shit stank .. it smell like a old ass man
I still love this one. I was born in 89 and first smelled this at age 18 and it's been with me ever since. Love it and so does my wife.
One of the best compliment getter and performance fragrance in my collection. It beats Dolce Gabbana The One and Armani Code in my experience.
This is still one of my most complimented fragrances. People love it on me. I think this is not necessarily a gourmand fragrance but it should be seen as the first “clubbing” type of fragrance. I’m not sure you get one million or even jpg without Joop! coming out first.

Still 🔥🔥🔥....wearing it now, on a cold February day. A lot of Yall need to stop wearing Joop on warm days. It is not a warm weather cologne, AT ALL.
💯
Joop is for the pleasure of others around you. For myself it smells like cough medicine. But as a waft down the hall it’s ok
this dude straight up said joop correctly what the hell
IKR!
NO I refuse to believe that it isnt pronounced "jewp"
i have a soft spot for JOOP Homme as it was the first fragrance i ever got back in the 90s
same. someone gifted the body wash to my father and he didn't care for the smell so he passed it along to me and I absolutely loved it. 20+ years later I found a bottle at Walmart for super cheap so I bought it out of nostalgia. it smelled just like I remembered but I was like, "I would never wear this today..."
its not for me goit it once and never again.
Joop had been solid a huge big hit and still complex and long lasting to most of todays boring niche fragrances.

On others it’s that really sweet scent we all know; on me, that known sweetness doesn’t pop, instead it goes wicked spicy and musky, even though musk isn’t a note. Naturally, I loved the uniqueness my skin produced, cuz it was gooooood.
@@thewafflez_73 hey if it's free I'll try anything 😂
Purchased this a few days ago and it came in tomorrow. INSTANT!!! Instant regret buy. Even if I saw you video first, I wouldn't have totally understood this fragrance. I grew up in the 80's/90's and I don't ever remember smelling this. My initial reaction to this was, YUCK!!! I'm gonna stick to MB: Individual. ✌😁
I understand ....this is a stink not a fragrance
Just bought it and have no idea how it smells, reading all the stories in the comments makes me excited. 😊
Nice! I hope you love it! It's a classic!
Joop! Is an amazing fragrance. I like it better than Dior Sauvage , Versace eros , and even bleu de Chanel. But that's just me and I'm sure theres many others who agree. We all have different tastes and that's why I don't really takes others opinions of a fragrances too seriously .
I’m 20 but love it, been wearing near enough everyday since 16, I also have Joop jump but only use it every once and a while
Just picked this up for $14.99 at Burlington’s. I just can’t believe the bang for the buck. I really, really like the smell. In terms of being “brought back to the 90’s” I’m 26 so it smells new to my nose.
I wanna try it ,, I see it at Burlington . How’s the longevity ?
@@dlrsnate5100 I’ll report back when I have an answer for you on that. I’ve only put it in once so far.
I still have a fair amount in the bottle I bought back in 1995. Best worn in the winter in a very small amount
I used to wear this early in the 90’s around when Ralph Lauren Polo Sport came out. This is a strong unique classic
A classic indeed and still strong to this day! Thank you for watching and commenting, Jason!
People don't realize today how much of a splash Joop! made when it came out. It was truly considered a unique fragrance. It has all the elements of a gourmand fragrance, which really should secure it as the first. Mulger, although I'm not knocking his fragrances, seems to garner undue hype, which has zealous fans calling his fragrances the first for everything while decrying other fragrances.
Steven, I had the original formula of this fragrance that I acquired shortly after its release and I got a "reformulated" one last year. And you're right. The scent itself hasn't changed really drastically like some other classics and it still performs very strongly. I must say, though, that the scent was noticeably sharper and richer as far as I can remember. This one actually came out when there weren't too many sweet fragrances for men and it was quite revolutionary and groundbreaking at the time in the market. I happen to still have a bottle of Jil Sander Feeling Man from the early 90s that was probably inspired by this one but it's more toned down and wearable. Unfortunately, it's been discontinued years ago and it's commanding outrageous prices on eBay these days.
So do you think the reformulated is better or worst
@@omi2507 Between the two, I would choose the original.
UltraSupra thought so I’m new to fragrances and I want to get a £30 fragrance that’s strong I tried David off cool water and no one in my class could smell it and I don’t like that plus it smashed in pe so I need another one any suggestions ?
@@omi2507 What kind of fragrance do you like? Something fresh or something sweet?
UltraSupra I want something sweet but not really sweet like fresh sweet if that’s even a thing and I want something strong Or what do you think a 14yr old would wear
it's long-lasting and it smells amazing, it's also so cheap, i think it's worth it.
My dad wore it back in the day ,Im keeping the tradition alive
Joop still rocks!!!!
Blast from the past. I used to wear this in the '90s. I rotated what I wore often, mostly finding something I liked and used it until it was out and then get something different. The last time I wore this was in the mid 2000's. I remember because I was having a cook out and a coworker had used my bathroom and came out smelling so strong of Joop hahahaha. Now I keep about 4 different fragrances in rotation. I am kind of surprised this is still around, because I never thought of it as being very popular like Drakkar Nior. I never really had any friends that wore Joop and never saw it on any friends dressers, so figured it would be discontinued by now. I was also surprised to see that Cool Water has lasted so long too, although I remember really liking that cologne too.
Why... just why did they cancel Nighflight? By far the best male perfume they have ever made
I just bought a 4.2 oz of this .... amazing as always
Not a fan someone bought this as a birthday gift for me and I realized it would make me smell like old man. Totally a cologne I would see my grandfather wearing. I’m more of a Ralph Lauren polo red polo Black but my favorite is marble from Bath and Bodyworks
Great video! I never ventured into Joop, back in its day I was still only wearing Jovan Musk for Men.
Joop Homme is more suited for older men and smells very synthetic, pending on the age of the person I’d go for Ralph Lauren Polo Sport for the younger person. Joop Homme was the first aftershave I ever smelt (found it my dad’s room), so despite it’s flaws, this aftershave will always have a place in my heart
See, I kind of always thought Joop worked better on older men too (30+), but after watching this video and reading the comments it was big in the club scenes when it came out and that’s def a younger crowd, so who knows, probably is different for everyone based on experiences.
It is the absolute truth!... when you want something different from the craziness going on today with clones and flankers! I have my original bottle from back in high school as well as the extreme version! I really don't wear it much in the summer, but more in the fall and winter...as it still carries crazy compliments...and not everyone is wearing it now, as they were back in my high school days
Could I buy your original bottle of Joop? I've been wanting to get my hands on vintage Joop - not the Joop they make now
Joop home means the world to me it’s the scent of my dad who’s no longer with me
Just got some at Burlington , cuz I am on a budget .. Smells pretty good , a lil outdated ,,, do kinda miss my Versace "man" with the blue snake skin box.. But I will say I do have to admit joop is a unique smell... There's this very upscale Arabic smell shop in Tysons corner mall in VA outside of DC. Very interesting, expensive aromas in there . Should check it out . Thanks for the review ! I could see this working in some good 90s raves :] probably now to...
still wearing it for 6 years now. its my favorite. nobody expects a guy like me to wear such a sweet scent. i love it.
Love joop homme. It's sweet but masculine enough. The price is moderate. 😎💋
I got it on a sale and part of the reason why I got it is because I felt it would be good to have a controversial fragrance in my collection lol
Have bought my first bottle today for CA $16. Back in 1989 (when this came out) I bought my first Fahrenheit bottle in France (launched in 1988), saw the Joop! but never got to buy it. I now have. Love it.
And my batch is from 2015! very nice
Stellar video, Steven! I wore Joop! during the early 1990s, and loved it back then. I still like it, but given much more exposure to fragrances since then, it doesn't strike me nearly as striking as it did during the 1990s. Anyway, hope you have a superb day!
This reminds me of my first time flatting with friends. I can't remember the smell lol but the bottle alone does spark memories of that time.
This is my everyday fragrance. It’s cheap enough to use daily and smell nice.
It’s good for the winter and very sweet
This is an amazing fragrance when looking at cost, the scent and performance you get. I got a 200ml bottle for £31 fantastic.
JOOP Nighflight is one of my all-time favorites. Kinda sad its hard to find. The childhood memories it holds
Nightflight was discontinued last year in Germany ...
@@bend.9457 I'm hoarding the small bottle I have
It’s still awesome!!!! It’s my favorite
Nothing smells so good from Joop house than Joop Nightflight .you gonna always get compliments more than many fragrance out there,such a shame they discontinued and on Ebay is over 150 $.Joop Nightflight compliment you gonna get: 100%.Joop Homme:30 %.Many people hated.
Pretty decent pronunciation of Joop there 👍🏻
Greetings from Germany
Auf jeden Fall 😎
If I still have it, do I replace it, or use it? I have only a few scents. Is there any need to add to this? I was thinking of Dior EDP
1) Joop Homme
2) Tiffany & Love for Him
3) Paco Rabanne Invictus Legend,
4) Paco Rabanne Phantom, and
5) Royal Crown Sultan
So nostalgic. I didn't know how it was pronounced haha I've been calling it as its spelled for 31 years!
Me too 😆 🤣 😂
Many people who love and dislike this perfume. It is not a perfume I have used before. These perfumes made me curious. I ordered yesterday. I am writing from Turkey. Unfortunately, this perfume has a lot of fake here. I hope the perfume that will come to me will be original, not fake and I do not regret buying it.
This is such a timely review - don’t think I’ve ever smelled Joop! Homme, but I was just contemplating buying it yesterday just to have as part of my collection
Soo how was ur review of joop homme😊
@@IrnBrummmmmmm0 Better left to nostalgia :D
This is to me is the smell of my dad ❤️ .. I’m about to buy him some more .
I brought the splash version without intending too today but I'd definitely buy the spray version it's super cheap if you're waiting on spending 50+ on aftershave and need to smell decent in the mean time
I just picked up a 4.2 ounce tester on Ebay for $14 bucks. I dig it, perfect for the fall and winter.
A full bottle is like 25 bucks
@@CreativeSts a tester is a full bottle.
I LOVE Joop🥰, but my wife loves the smell of CK One on me. I just love stuff that smells good 🤷🏽♂️. Joop for me last on me all day. I’d wake up the next morning still smelling like Joop, right before I jump in the shower. I didn’t know that Joop came out in 1989😳. I was five years old. I got into Joop because of my father-n-law. I’d wear anything as long as it smells really good to me🤷🏽♂️. But so far, Joop is definitely my go to. I need to try other things🤔
Me dad's signature, I wear it sometimes and I love Joop Femme
Nice!
Ok here’s my take, Joop Homme has a different fragrance for each body or person who wears it. IMO it is the best scent of a cologne ever for me.
i don't care i still love joop and will wear it for many years while it is around and cheap. :)
I just picked up a bottle a week ago and it performs like a beast and I got quite a few compliments
So glad to hear that!
Thanks for your review,
Take care from Montréal, Québec
The pleasure is all mine!!
You really do give the impression of hating this fragrance. I don't know if that was your intention, but that's how it comes across.
Intresting video my friend, thank you.
I understand your thoughts but i dissagree a bit, the awnser if it is stil worth or not depends a bit of the age of custumer.
A jung person who is born around 2000 can wear this pretty fine as a club scent because for them this is somthing new, they wasn't born when it was released.
I remember keenly what it used to smell like. It's far off. It used to have a smoother more vanilla scent. Now it's more powdery.
What about people who east born around those times I’m 22 and I think it’s strong reliable and dosent fade away for the price it’s unreal
I love this 100 % !!
I love joop. The longevity of it is awesome. It's not an old fashioned scent in the sense that it still attracts compliments to this day. Also is that a bottle of Aspen behind you? Lol haven't seen that stuff in years. Back in middle school that was the cheap version of cool water. Haha nice. If you get a chance, look for Design for men by Paul Sebastian. 1995. It's amazing.
Im undecided whether to pick up a bottle ..The parfum is so nice..and the EDP too, as well as Wild! Not sure i'd actually wear this..
Never had this back in the day ,, guess I didn't know ... We all wore ,you know the usual polo sport , Nautica , Kenneth Cole black a lil later , Armani , maybe some Issey Miyake if you were big pimpin lol
i can buy this in Australia today on sale at chemist warehouse $32aud for the 200ml bottle. What a bargain for this fragrance. This was one my first fragrances when i was a young teenager along with versace blue jeans. When i hit around 20 i got aqua di gio and jaun paul gauliter (late 90s).
My brother still wears this 20 years on he loves it
Thank you for sharing!
Love this! And its modern and wonderful and unisex!
Just wore it the other day...only 2nd time since buying it nearly 3 years ago...only can take it in small doses...have used it to spray bedroom before having overnight company...lol
I love it but it has a synthetic smell and a girl thought I was wearing baby powder. Nonetheless I love it I say it’s worth the price 100%
I disagree completely. Joop is my most complimented fragrance lol. You have to remember that the vast majority of people that are smelling what you're wearing have no concept of fragrances. Your advice is basically for frag heads. Joop, Fahrenheit and Cool Water hold up well unlike so many others of that era. Buy it...girls love this stuff.
