Joop! Homme Le Parfum

The King Is Really Back!!!?? Rarely ever or I almost never fall for most of the fake youtube hyping of perfumes and artificial pumping of certain brands! I only trust my nose, because it's the only one who knows what I like and what suits me, and I would never blindly buy a whole bottle on someone's recommendation! This time the Hype for Joop Le Parfum is real! Literally The King is Back! I don't know if I'm the only one here, but these are small victories for me - when you get something like this for a great price! When I tested it live for the first time, I immediately bought a 125ml bottle online and I don't regret anything for a ridiculous €35! People would pay much more for such a scent profile - of course, if they didn't know it was "regular" Joop! Personally, I have no problems with names and brands, and simply if the smell suits me and it says Old Spice or Creed, I don't care (I'll only have a lot more money if it says the first :) ) The perfume itself - in addition to the beautiful bottle with thick glass and golden letters and strong dark liquid - smells really Top! Initial spray or immediately after application, do not stick your nose in the place of spraying (it can be too strong and consequently repels!) But after just a minute or two, it rewards you with an extremely nice profile scent! Pure lavender, powdery iris, gourmet praline and tonka make such a good effect around you - that anyone who says they don't smell it - is lying!!! I would say that it is literally made just to collect compliments and a magnet for positivity! A mixture of Armani-Stronger With You/C.Dior-Homme Intense/Paco R.-One Million Royal/Givenchy-Gentlemen... Ps: One Million copied this profile completely, because Joop was the first to make this beauty! I can conclude with a calm heart and honestly say that this winter and for the holidays it is definitely in the current active rotation in the Top 5 of my perfumes! (And I don't have a small collection :) )

Sexy, sweet, vanilla and iris. Not much more to say about this absolute bomb of a fragrance. I'm not a lover of the original Joop Homme however I bought Joop Homme Wild and it became one of my best blind buys to date. On first impressions it certainly has a similarity to Joop Homme Wild in its sweetness and a kind of fruitiness. Safe to say I'm delighted that it doesn't take much inspiration from the original. The scent is like a more playful version of Homme Wild (an already playful scent) with ramped up sweetness and a sophisticated Iris note which is not one I'm privee to like a lot of people. The vanilla combined with sweetness and iris make this a heavenly scent up close and even better in its sillage. I can see how this could be construed as a unisex scent although for me I would say it slightly leans more masculine although I can certainly see a younger woman wearing this similarly to One Million EDT. Certainly suited for dates or clubbing in my opinion as its a very playful and loud fragrance. Performance is absolutely beastly and lasts the best part of 12hrs on my skin and projects heavily for 5hrs for me. Compliments are going to come very easily whilst wearing this scent as it's fun, sweet and loud which in my experience garner lots of compliments from women. A scent this reminds me of is Uomo Signature by Ferragamo and One Million EDT. This has a twist on both of those scents with the iris note so if you like the fragrances listed aswell as iris, you cannot go wrong with this scent. In conclusion a phenomenal fragrance in terms of performance and sweetness. Not a particularly masculine offering but it certainly has its uses in date situations and the coldest of winter days. Definitely worth a blind buy if you like sweet, vanilla scents.

I have had this fragrance in my collection for a few weeks now, and, in my opinion; the best floral scent I've owned. The iris and lavender in this fragrance basically make up its entirety, and it is just fantastic. In my mind, before I got this I thought it'd just be similar to DHI, which I've smelled before, and DHI is a fair amount sweeter with more of a lipsticky vibe to it, which can make it come off as a bit more feminine. This fragrance, in my opinion, is more masculine, less sweet, and the lavender is quite prominent. You have to wait a bit of time to get down to the vanilla, praline, and tonka. Speaking of time, the performance in this is actually great. I've owned the EDP of this, and although this lasts longer on my skin than the EDP, it projects a little less. With the EDP I'd get a solid 8 - 9 hours of longevity, with 3 hours of strong projection that could literally fill the room. With this, I get around 10 - 11 hours with 2 hours of fair projection which my family could smell a few feet away, then after that it just gets softer until around 6 hours where it just becomes a skin scent. At that point the praline and vanilla is most prominent, at least on my skin. This fragrance is overall fantastic, I do love it, and it is very masculine and mature, not everybody can pull it off though and I don't think it is exactly mass appealing, though a decent few may like it. More mature than the EDP, and just simply better than the EDT in every aspect. Personally, this is an 8.5/10. It'd be a 10/10 if it had stronger projection. Objectively I think, people will see this as at least a 9/10.

Joop! Home Le Parfum is one of my latest acquisitions. This is a very, very nice fragrance, totally different from the old pink monster EDT and also from the newer EDP! This is a cold weather fragrance and since we are in a warm month of May here. I only tested it at home. I did however spray it twice in the evening around 9pm, went to sleep, and in the morning at 7am I was still able to smell it off my skin. after a couple of hours it does become powdery. Don't get confused by other's opinions here - this smells nothing like Stronger with you! It has no almond or nut, no cinnamon! Is it very sweet? Yes, but not overly sweet. It's a shame that nowadays everything that is sweet gets automatically compared to SWY. Also, the iris blasts from the beginning but it doesn't last for long. The fragrance is pretty much pure sweetness with a touch of vanilla/tonka and then powder. Personally, I can't really sense much of a praline. In terms of projection, I think it will do well for the first 2-3 hours and then will stay closer to the skin. This might actually be a good thing, considering that it is very sweet might have exactly that attraction factor that makes the other person come closer to you to catch another whiff off you. Sure, if you already have SWY, Dior Homme or even something like D&G The One, then Joop! Le Parfum might seem a counter-intuitive choice but it's still a very nice fragrance. I see it working well for romantic dates and night outs which don't require a lot of importance and solemnity. It's a playful one 🙂

This fragrance ive owned for a while and picked up for £26.99, I would say its a good fragrance that is quite interesting and unique, its not something you smell often and definitely is a good iris fragrance that fills that spot in my collection. As for smell its mainly an iris floral with a smooth vanilla and a touch of sweetness throughout, it has depth and leaves me smelling it over and over trying to pick things out as its very well blended. Id recommend this if your looking for an iris fragrance. I find it to be clean and not overly sweet making this almost airy but due to the parfum concentration it isn’t. Performance is surprisingly long, the sillage is above average and projects nicely, this paired with a longevity of 12+ hours makes it a nice pick up for the price point. For when it can be worn, due to the florals it can definitely be pulled off in day and night but CANNOT be worn in summer imo but since its quite unique it can just be worn whenever. So yeah just a semi fresh and florally fragrance with a sweet and smooth vanilla smell that is nice and long lasting. Current Rating would be a 7.8/10

All these negative reviews goes to show that fragrance can be SO SUBJECTIVE because I am IN LOVE with this one! Sweet, aromatic lavender opening up to a lovely, slightly lipsticky iris in the heart with a dry down that's flat out gorgeous!! I've owned my bottle for close to 6 months and the scent has definitely smoothed out and "calmed down" a lot. Now what I get is a sexy dance between the aromatic lavender, the lipsticky iris and the combo of sweet, creamy praline, vanilla and tonka in the base. This is date night, close encounter, "yeah, that's me smelling sweet and sexy" type of juice. My advice, AS ALWAYS: 1) get it 2) spray it 10-20 times 3) let it sit for a few weeks to a few months 4) come back and enjoy. This one took some time, but it's macerating into something lovely. If you want a fresh out the box spray and go scent, then this may be a bit too sweet for you right out the gate. But again, a little patience in perfumery will have you smelling your loveliest!! Enjoy and be fragrant my friends.

I bought this fragrance with zero expectations. I never owned any other Joop! Products aside from the edt (almost 20 years ago) previously, but after reading the note breakdowns and the comparison to SWY, I said .. why not, what can go wrong with a $30 (75 ml) purchase. For budget prices, I actually enjoy doing blind buys like this! And then it all started to show: this is very good quality for a fraction of the cost, if this had been sold by other "premium" brands it would for sure be sold at least 5 times more. This is a nice spicy sweet scent, similar to the OG EDT but with added notes and a far better blending of the materials.. which do not change the dna dramatically but also do not remind one of the EDT. It will last forever, so the 10-12 hours mark can be reached easily and will project about an arms reach too. The strong projection surprised me considering this is a parfum concentration. This is definitely a budget priced gem that deserves far more love than it currently gets.

Somewhat confusingly named and packaged - strikingly similar to Eau de Parfum launched a year prior. Neither are flankers of the original, polarising Joop! Homme, being classier and infinitely more wearable. I bought both Le Parfum and Eau de Parfum within a few weeks of each other - I adore both and can't decide, if pushed to it, which I prefer. Le Parfum has the "sweetness" Joop! is (in)famous for but those who despise the original pink stuff shouldn't be put off trying this (although I'm sure many will). Vanilla and Iris are unusual notes among my current 60+ bottle collection and Le Parfum has a lushness that will likely make it an ongoing favourite, especially in seasons other than summer (Eau de Parfum has a "nutty" note that is also distinctive and unusual in my personal experience). Both absolute winners, but unlikely to receive the attention or love they deserve, as the Joop! branding is enough on its own to dissuade many from affording them an opportunity to impress.

Okay, so. My bottle is from 02-23, with one spray on my arm longevity is 7 hours on unmoisturized skin, so could push to 8 or 9, depends on the weather too, projection seems good for the first 1-2 hours, not bad at all. The first 10-15 minutes of this fragrance are hard to like to me, it smells extremely lipsticky and waxy, then it settles down and the other notes start to show up. I can mostly detect Vanilla and Iris though, the lipsticky feeling never leaves the fragrance on my skin. It's not bad by any means but it's VERY sweet, probably one of the sweetest fragrances I own together with Mercedes Benz Club Black, and that one is a Vanilla-Incense bomb. I'm sure this would be good for fall and winter to go to parties, clubbing or even date nights, I can picture how girls may like this. It's a...7.5/10 to me. EDIT: I tried it again on my arm and I could faintly smell it still after 12 hours, this is insanely long-lasting.

I have no clue what some people are smelling in the reviews below, but this smells absolutely gorgeous! I do believe fragrance is subjective, and sometimes different batches smell differently, so I’ll describe what is coming out of my bottle. I get a beautiful blend i of sweet praline vanilla, slightly lipsticky iris, a soft, aromatic lavender and a creamy tonka bean. The iris definitely leans forward in the composition. It’s sweet in the initial spray, but the sweetness simmer down, and the overall experience revolves around the iris, lavender and smooth, delectable praline and vanilla. The dry down is so lovely. As always, get it, spray it, let it sit, then come back to it. Immediate, ultimate conclusions on fragrance scent and performance is a sure way to miss out on something beautiful. #justmy2centsonscents

Sweet, velvety, powdery, vanilla, chocolate lipstick. This one is unisex and actually reminds me a bit of JPG's Le Male Le Parfum due to the iris, vanilla, and lavender notes. Whereas JPG's fragrance is light and spicy, this one has a kind of dark, classy, liminal vibe to it, imagine going to an Ulta Beauty store in a mall with your mother when you were a kid and smelling the makeup. This dark tone is brought about by the praline note, which acts as a kind of grounding piece for the sweetness of the vanilla and iris. It smells like a hug from a wise old woman. This fragrance is very beautiful and long lasting, just be sure not to spray too much of it or you will start choking people out, causing them to sneeze, or get headaches. 3-4 max will have you covered all day long.

Joop Powerhouse! This is Joop! Homme but more exuberant and noticeable. Definitely Joop! DNA all throughout the opening to the dry-down and it lingers on and on....great sillage, projection and longevity. This is a more refined, more honed, better crafted Joop! Homme. Quite sweet but totally enamored in beautiful continuos wafts of wonderful fruity and light floral accords that IS Joop! The Iris, lavender and vanilla shine through very well on a breezy cloud of praline (the origins of it sweetness) The tonka bean is there in the background mixing well to deliver more than notable Joop DNA. If you're already a fan of Joop! fragrances then this one will seductively ease into your collection to stand proud as a warm favourite amongst them.

Reeeeealy nice fragrance. Nothing like the original or EDP. It has this iris and smells like you blended 70% stronger with you and 30% invictus victory elixir. Very very well done, sweet bit NOT as ppl are saying. Not cloying dusty sweet that is choking you but smooth, silky iris vanila almost coconuty sweet. Lasts 12 hours easily. Is it better then OG. For sure. Than EDP? Id say yes but they are both worth having as EDP is toned down modernized origi al with tons of hazelnut. A nutty chocolatey sweet where the parfum is more vanilla sweet. Love it. For the price, this and edp for fall and winter are must haves. If you love OG Stronger with you, but more refined and smooth, with beast mode performance... for cheap, you really want this.

Most beautiful iris centred perfume ever. I love Givenchy and Dior Homme Intense but I still prefer this one. 10/10, It's just so warm and cosy, you feel so happy when smelling this. This could be packed as an elixir version of Givenchy and people would loose their mind over the internet. With Joop branding it remains perfect for gatekeeping, I just hope they will never discontinue. Someone mentioned it's similar to Gris Charnel? I have not smelled that one, but I can tell Le Parfum also has a black tea note at the top, just not listed. You can get this 125ml for as low as $30. I'm pretty sure this is the best deal on drugstore french made perfume ever

Joop! Homme Le Parfum has surprised me. I'm not a fan of the original or the other flankers, but the parfum is really good. It's a classy, sweet iris fragrance. The sweetness comes from the vanilla and praline, making it quite gourmand but without being cloying. The opening is a bit scratchy, but that soon passes and the drydown is where it excels. It's warm, sexy, and alluring, and is perfect for evening wear. The sillage is impressive, as is the longevity. Another positive is that it's very affordable and great value for money. If you like sweet iris, you'll love this. 8.5/10. **Don't spray it on white clothing. The red perfume dye will stain**

A modern masterpiece IMO, and for the price, it’s an 10/10 amazing fall/winter/cold spring fragrance. In the opening I almost smell a very sweet masculine lavender cedarwood (cedarwood scent i pick up is very similar to the cedar of dior sauvage, for people who are curious). Masculine, sweet, floral with hints of woodbines throughout. Lasts long and has above average projection. This dark purple juice has some powerful feelings to it for sure. Performance: 8.5/10 Winter: 10/10 Fall: 9/10 Spring: 8/10 Summer: 2/10 (wear MAX 2 sprays in summer if this is your signature fragrance) Price: 9/10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 9/10

Incredible! I did not expect such an amazing smell from Joop! I have stronger with you intensely by armani and it smells very similar, but I prefer the joop! It's so smooth and even more well-rounded. The iris doesn't overpower the fragrance and intertwines with the caramel mix really well (vanilla, tonka, praline). Perfect if you don't already have the sweet gourmand DNA of the likes of SWY and the new 1 million, the most wanted parfum and so forth. Easily prefer this over them with the softness of iris in it. Try it out! you'll be surprised. Awesome fragrance for such a low cost, you get everything.

I use and have used many colognes, mostly cheapies, with a few moderately priced ones. Winter fragrances, spring freshies, some clones, ozonic stuff, fruity stuff, vintage stuff. I'm all over the place. Variety is the spice of life. With that being said, Joop! Homme Le Parfum is my favorite cologne of all time. It is gourmand and spicy. It is sweet but sexy. It is absurdly long lasting. And although I do like the pink Joop Homme EDT, they are similar in name and bottle shape only. Le Parfum is way more serious than the EDT. It is rich beyond belief, and projects hugely. A grand fragrance.

Great stuff, This definitely have the same DNA as Armani stronger with you, but not the same . I find it more pleasant actually because it is not so sticky as SWY yet gives you a good performance for at least 8 hours. Silage is moderate which is great , otherwise it would have been another migraine fragrance from joop, which is not the case here Longevity 8hrs + Complexity 4/5 Richness 5/5 thanks to the soft silage . It still reminds you of the original Joop ! But with a nicer silage and little sweetness that makes is seductive and appealing to younger generations.

Honestly, all the reviewers before me that said this could pass as 'Stronger with You Iris' flanker aren't too far off the mark. This is pretty much what I would assume that fragrance would be like (if it existed). It just has that SWY lavender-y sweetness, with a touch of iris, and a nice dry down. Not a bad fragrance at all, and definitely not what I was expecting from it. I sampled it first, and honestly for the price it is a great deal. Performance is good. Good reactions from anyone that mentioned it to me (compliments don't always come my way, I'm ugly af).
