One Legged Joe

Okay...so...this is a LOVE! I got One Legged Joe in the mail yesterday and tried it on paper. I liked it, but wasn't overwhelmed. It gave me Bath and Body Works candle vibes. I wasn't mad at it, but there appeared to be a waxiness in the scent that my nose couldn't get around. I decided to do a full wear test today with three sprays. One on each wrist and one on my neck and let me tell you...for this scent, that was overspraying. People can smell me across the parking lot and through a mask. LUCKILY! This scent warms so gorgeously on the skin. It is both sweet and aromatic and VERY complex. I haven't let the bottle "rest" and it is already so potent and gorgeous. I get more in-your-face maple upfront than coffee, but the coffee and woods are there and they balance the sweetness of the maple. This is like a warm hug in a bottle, but it's also just so dang unique. Like, on one hand, it does give me Denny's diner vibes, but on the other hand, there is something so deep and complex about this fragrance that elevates it from just pancakes and syrup to something else entirely. This scent makes me understand what "taking one's nose on a scent journey" actually means. Projection and Sillage are a 20 out of 10. I will update with the longevity at the end of the day.

One Legged Joe is the smell of IHOP, Waffle House or Denny's on Sunday morning when the grill has pounds of bacon frying, the coffee is brewing and pancakes with maple syrup are being served. Diners not eating pancakes are enjoying toast with strawberry jam. Sweet and savory. Warm and inviting. Cozy and relaxing. (And if you're lucky, it's also the smell of breakfast in bed!) While this would be an appetite enhancing room spray I can say unequivocally that I truly enjoy wearing this and having its delicious aroma wafting around me whether I'm wearing it morning, noon or night. Compliments galore too, I might add. Coworkers smile and sniff me as do strangers in line behind me in stores. Lasts a good 8-10 hours on my skin and is noticeable on my clothes for days. Sillage is powerful, too. One Legged Joe is a happy fragrance and the very best and most long lasting coffee fragrance I've ever encountered.

WOW ! Wearing this for the first time today. This perfume is wonderful ! It really smells like rich fresh brewed black coffee with sweet maple syrup and pancakes with a touch of caramel! Projection is consistently at least 3 feet ! Warmth of my skin really enhances this scent. Clings nicely in my hair, too ! I have never had so very many compliments in one day, from both men and women ! Yes, I told them all where to order this one, too ! Delicious, true-to-life flavors and super long lasting ! I've worn this for over 10 hours now and it's still going as strong as when I first sprayed it on ! Amazing ! It's addictive and I'm totally hooked on it ! Glad I bought the largest bottle ! I will explore other perfumes from this house, too ! Excellent WAY above average niche quality, uniquely creative, with incredible projection, and extremely long lasting ! SCORE !!!!

This is a decadent, full-bodied gourmand if I ever smelled one! I'm taken back to my days of waitressing at White Coffee Pot in high school, coffee on the burners, pancakes and syrup on the plates. This is a fragrance that smells like no other. I have Mama Joe and Lushious Joe, but this is my favorite of the three, Lushious Joe coming in at a close second. While Lushious Joe is a coffee scent, I get more of the baked goods and sweetness with One-Legged Joe. I don't know how Ganache was able to come up with this one. It's unisex, lasts for hours - at least 10 - and for days on my clothing. My bottle is from 2017 and I don't think the line was continued, so if you can still find this, get it. Be warned, though - you'll smell like maple syrup and waffles, even a little bacon, so if that's not your thing, this one isn't for you.

What a memory in a bottle! For me, this is Christmas morning in Los Angeles. Everyone goes to IHOP, especially the one on Santa Monica Boulevard. No one wants to cook on Christmas morning after you open presents, so everyone goes to IHOP in their jammies with messy hair. I get a ton of rich maple syrup which lasts the entire wearing, then a strong cup of Joe in one of those industrial beige coffee shop mugs, and melted butter on warm pancakes. My gosh, this is just so good. I had no idea I even wanted a perfume that smelled like this, but I really love it. It just smells so much like being home for the holidays with the ones you love and it brings a huge smile to my face.
