Joop! Homme Black King

This is a really good fragrance. Everything that can be said about this scent is all positive because there is nothing negative in it. From the opening it is really pleasant and enjoyable and it has stamina. Longevity and projection are excellent and I have to say, it smells beautiful throughout! Black King is a 9 out of 10 for me and I look forward to trying Red King (which arrives tomorrow!) as the reviews are all good about that one too! A high recommenation from me!

Very underrated fragrance. Apparently already discontinued (I was told this by the girl behind the counter when I was buying it) which makes it even more unknown and could be a signature scent. Quite a strong, spicy, masculine smell to this. Along the same vein as the original joop homme but I much prefer this. Good silage and longevity.

Hail the KING!This is A+ men's fragrance! Thank You JOOP!

I recently sampled Wow! and Black King. Wow! I found to be pleasant but a little too metro sexual/feminine. Black King however is a different story. The original Joop! Homme dna is bright and sweet in the foreground then the leather and woods give this a rich, sophisticated, sexy edge over its predecessor. It does have a boozy-ness to it too but sufficiently different from Joop! Homme Wild which I also own and enjoy. Black King is a great flanker and here in the uk there's a half price deal at Boots (125mls for £26) so grab it while you can. Update: 30/01/2018: Just bought Cerruti Signature which reminds me of Joop Black King. I sprayed one on my right hand and the other on my left hand last night. Let them dry down for 30-40 minutes and then compared. Very similar. The same soft, spicy leathery-ness but the two do stand apart. Cerruti Signature is smoother, more well mannered and mildly sweet (maybe the Amber?) whereas Joop! Black King has a brighter almost impertinent synthetic floral top (maybe the Orange blossom?). These are like non-identical twins - definitely from the same blood line but can be easily told apart. Cerrutti Signature is for a date night with your better half and Joop! Black King is more of a clubbers fume.

So I'm very much keen on Joop. And bought Black King and Red King together. Black King is more of a flanker to Red King than Joop Homme itself and I personally prefer Red King. The reason why is that Black King is very unique. It's a decent scent, very peppery but not do much leather. The problem with this scent is that I think it's performance is poor. The top notes are class but the base is mediocre and not very Joopy. And that's fair enough , I'd give it s three as it's still better than a lot of other brands. It's an evening scent on a cool evening.
