Joint pour Homme

This stuff is awesome! A truly classic Mediterranean scent: after a lovely opening combining citrus with warm spices, Joint slowly introduces us to one of the nicest pipe tobacco notes we will encounter, which is subtle but carries through to the ambery, musky base notes. Warm. Classy. Complex. Joint unfolds in a delightful way over quite a few hours. I have two 50ml bottles of the After-Shave, and neither present the animalic basenote (civet, apparently) that is listed above and commented on below. Perhaps the EdT version is slightly different? Regardless, this is an excellent fragrance, and I am hunting around online for the EdT. I would love to be able to pick up enough so that I can add Roccobarocco Joint to my regular rotation instead of saving my current limited supply for special occasions as I do now. As I continue my journey into the world of fragrances it seems that I am drawn to some of the classics of the 80's such as Moschino pour Homme, Gianfranco Ferre, Francesco Smalto, Enrico Coveri and Bogart. Despite being a product of the early 90's Roccobarocco Joint is the latest to join these favorites. I am very glad to have stumbled across it. I give it a strong recommendation.

This fragrance has been my signature scent since early 2019, use it daily and on my 2nd bottle by now. Why did I decided to use this fragrance as a daily beater? First of all - it does smell like Furyo - but more toned down civilized, if I may say. It's like a transitional phase between the powerhouse to the lighter, fresher era. Think of a wearable option for those who like powerhouse scents but cannot tolerate the enormous sillage that powerhouse has. Think of what a powerhouse that designed to compete with Cool Water, slightly toned down but you can feel the scent character without feeling watered down. The main character that we can easily pick as a wearer will be the civet, honey, and tobacco with leather just around the corner, but be careful because you can easily anosmic with this scent - do not overspray this. 2-3 spray will be enough for an office setting or a night out. I will not say this is complex. This is indeed warm, but without the complexity of Davidoff, without the charmant of Aramis nor charisma of Santos. It's the fragrance equivalent of a Backstreet Boys; it nice and works fine - but don't expect masterpiece. I want it that way

Joint came out in 1993 but smells absolutely 80's. Aldehydes, basil, honey, tobacco, leather and most of all civet. The civet here is quite "natural" and gives an animalic and strong feel to it. Blended in a superb way, joint it's a bit dated and can be appreciated only by vintage lovers. This is in the League of kouros, antaeus, Dalì pour homme, definitely in that category of old-fashionated animalic scents. Only for mature fragrance lovers, for cold seasons. Discontinued but it's still easy to find for a very cheap price. Nice to have it in a collection! Joint è un profumo che sa decisamente più di anni 80 che 90. Nota animalica predominante, è nella categoria dei vari kouros, antaeus, Dalì pour homme ecc...lo consiglio a persone mature, collezionisti o amanti del genere "powerhouse". Scent-8, 5 Longevity-8 Sillage-8 Versatility-6 Uniqueness-8 Presentation-6 Backup bottle? No Compliment factor-6 My vote-8 In one word- civet Alternative - ysl kouros, Chanel antaeus, Dalì pour homme.

An hard Joint to obtain :D This scent is really off putting sometimes,especially in hot weather,i want to like it to the fullest but it is really hard when your stomach revolts!I love it but i don't know when in which occasion i can use it!Salvador Dali pour homme is much more wearable than this one!Anyway it gaves me a note of wine(!!!)never experienced before in other perfumes,maybe is the same combination that is present in Kouros and Givenchy Gentleman(Civet+Honey).Anyway if you find it for a reasonable price,get it,also only for the novelty.

Wow....what a blend of notes. Every time I sniff this....something else appears....!!! Aromatic/herbal/floral/chypre/citrus//woody/aldehydes/and yeah...CIVET.....and...labdanum. They don't make em like this anymore....!! Vintage....classic....old school.....GEM. And...NO...it does not smell like a "joint" ...."weed"....ect....LOL. Good performance....a beast on my skin....IMHO. I LOVE THIS !!!

Oh my dear fragheads, please come quick 'Cause I've got something to admit I met a Civet out in the sticks of good Ole Miss He drove a Series 10 Cadillac and wore a cigar on his lip Don't you know, this civet wears a suit & tie I saw him driving down in '93 in early July White as a cottonfield and sharp as a knife I heard him howling as he passed me by

I wore this today, I want to punch my face so hard for keeping this on the shelf!! My God!! Skanky honey patchouli from another world, I'm in love with the aura and the wafts I'm getting through and through the day 100/10

I finally got one, after going back and forth whether I'm going to get it for months. The one I got is what others have commented as "Parfums 2P" version, since the original was discontinued long ago. I have no idea whether this is reformulation or fake or whatever. The bottle brand is stickered onto the bottle which I was immediately disappointed, dropped points. The smell is very appealing, reminds me of my mother who loves powerful flowery scent. I don't think this is masculine, but rather unisex. I didn't notice any citrus scent opening, weird. It is a beast mode flowery spicy scent bomb for the first 2 hours, then the scent bubble went arm length. I noticed onky little changes in scent characteristics and can't figure out what is dominant until around 4 hours, it went to skin scent and tobacco scent took over. After 5-6 hours, woody leather is skin tight scent. The civet is not prominent on my skin. Is it good? Yes. Strong scent. Is it memorable, yes especially since this blast form the past scent brings back memories of my mom. Is it recommended? Well yes and no. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone below 40 yo, but anyone above 40 who has older close relatives who wore strong frag from the 70s or 80s, grab it for your collection. Is it office safe? F### NO. Don't you even think about it. 2 spray will fill the room, more than that could cause evil eyes against you, especially in hot weather, more than 10 spray could knock people around you in the first hour. Is ti synthetic smelling? After 4 hours, yes. After the tobacco kicked in, the synthetic smell lessened. But hey, this is my personal experience. I admitted I had a quarrel with the seller coz the stickered logo made me angry and thinking this is a fake. Apparently not, but it does push me to find Furyo (the og beast of this scent)

The initial whiffs are barber-like but lack strong projection. It’s a very beautiful scent, yet strangely familiar to me. The first association is Marbert Man, with a similarly twisted honey and dirtiness. It’s too close to the contemporary Boss No. 1 to consider it a separate fragrance... unless I’m actually testing Boss, which someone poured into my Joint bottle. Joint from 1993 doesn’t really offer anything beyond that. After a while, it doesn’t shout like Marbert but leans toward Furyo or possibly some Tenere.

Hugely disappointing considering what it's made of. Nothing else needs to be said

one very strong fragrance, got a small bottle of this because I was curious. I was disappointed I did not enjoy this scent. it is one of those scents while I can appreciate it I just could not see a time where I could wear this. I sprayed some on and my wife did not care for it. it was just too strong and distinctive. unappealing to her and I have to say unappealing to me. a one spray only fragrance. just not my cup of tea. maybe I need to give it more time to appreciate, or perhaps my bottle has gone stale or bad?

This is a deceptive fragrance. I agree that it is something a fan of older classical masculines from the seventies and eighties should seek out, because it has a powerful presence, and is loaded with deep, rich, brown notes of patchouli, orris, tobacco, rosewood, and tonka, with a masterful treatment of lavender and Sicilian lemon. The labdanum is obvious but it's not really the star of the show, and I don't consider the scent a chypre, but more of a fougeriental, in fact a direct clone of Zino by Davidoff, except arguably better. For the first forty-five minutes of wear the fragrance is very crisp, legible, deep, and dry, and seems like Holy Grail material thanks to those little accents of natural civet and somewhat skanky honey. The deception arrives in the drydown. Once you get past forty-five minutes, the headiness of all the woods, tobacco, herbs, and spices tapers off dramatically, leaving a surprisingly spare base of honey, tonka, a shadow of patchouli, and a vanillic white musk. Two hours after application, and it literally smells like I sprayed something from the Jovan line on my skin. What happened to all the rich aromatics? I have a theory: Joint is the most top-heavy perfume ever made, and once the carnival of explosively dense top notes simmer off, it becomes obvious that it was all grafted on a simplistic base of amber and synthetic musk. Furthering the problem is the fact that this has been out of production for twenty years, and my bottle is likely a bit stale and out of balance, an unavoidable aspect of dealing with vintage scents. I purchased this in the 1.7 oz bottle for $33 from Villa Fleur in Hamden, CT, my home state. You can find a 1 oz bottle on Ebay now for $29.99. That's a fair price range for the size range here. Of course once you look at the 3.3 oz bottles the prices get into fantasy land. If you see it for under $40 in this size and you enjoy Zino, Kouros, and Balenciaga PH, I recommend getting it. If you can't find it in stores for that price or you're left with insane Ebay prices, skip Roccobarocco's scent and just get Zino by Davidoff. Although Zino lacks the hints of civet and honey, I think it's a bit better in terms of smoothness and balance, plus it's much cheaper. Joint is a nice one, but the drydown is genuinely disappointing and adversely effected by age. Update 10/7/15: I definitely see the comparison to Bogart's Furyo, but having an old bottle of that one makes it easy to smell the differences. Furyo is far richer from top to base, and is made of significantly higher quality aroma chemicals. The incense note in Joint is mild and flat; Furyo's incense is rich and dimensional. Civet is certainly present in both; Furyo's civet note alone endures for hours. The lavender is bolder in Joint, and the burnished woods are mated more closely to it, while Furyo is muskier and smokier, less herbal, less like a fougere. Between the two, Furyo is the way to go IMO.

This is another "power fragrance" that is a bit late to the party. However, that is often good in the fragrance hobby because it means that the "mistakes" of older, similar ones have been "fixed." Here we have a Kouros-like fragrance that is much less animalic and overbearing, though the youngsters still might find it too "old." The tobacco note is clearly present, though not dominant. I think there is some patchouli in here too, though not listed. It's thick/dense, but has good note separation (the dry woody/tobacco element seems to "cut" the Kouros-like one, balancing it perfectly). And as you might expect, it's strong and long-lasting. Think of 30% Kouros, 30% Givenchy Gentleman, and 40% of other strong fragrances of that period (a dash of Paco Rabannae Pour Homme, a pinch of Oscar Pour Lui, a dollop of Chaps, etc.). This is more for a cigarette smoker than a smoker of anything else, I'd guess (so the name may mislead some people). It's a little sweet but nothing like Santos sweetness, and it's a little dry, again relative to similar fragrances. The depth this one possesses is excellent, perhaps the best I've ever encountered, but if you don't like camphorous qualities I don't think you will enjoy this one. It's one of the greats of this type, for sure, in terms of being able to keep the powerful notes balanced, dynamic, and separate. One spray a few inches above the navel lasted many hours for me, with good projection ("sillage"). NOTE: I disagree with one of the reviews above. This is not like Zino, which has strong lavender (I'm not sure I detected any lavender in Joint), and is overall more floral. On the other hand, Joint has more noticeable and drier woods with tobacco.

I turned 42 years old today. I think I am JUST old enough now to rock Joint. I mean, I regularly need to pluck out ear hairs, so I can get away with a civet-heavy, patchouli-heavy, honey-heavy take no prisoners kinda scent, right? Wait, is that myrrh I detect? Why, that's not listed as a note. Hmm, there's something far more, dare I say, pleasant about this than I anticipated. Time goes by...Oh, there's a subtle smoke. Wilted flowers, including roses; smooth musk; pipe tobacco. This isn't really a skank marathon, but I am really liking it. The civet growls, then purrs. Good kitty. The development curve of this fragrance is fascinating. If only we weren't in the throes of Covid, I'd wear this one out for a night on the town when I'm feeling lucky.

This is Furyo light. There's a lot of similarities between these two. Furyo's composition is far richer and ingredient quality is better. But Joint is more wearable. Cause Furyo is so intense that it's hard to find the right occasion to wear it. While Joint easily can be my everyday go to scent, specially in winter time.

Just received this fragrance today. Very old school to me, in my language this called "jadul banget". To my nose the smells not so far from Ralph Lauren Chaps, Oscar DeLarenta Pour Lui, or Jaques Boggart Witness. Will make you headache if you wear it in summer daylight.

Very nice old school masculine powerhouse Starts off as a more aromatic, less hoeyed version of Boss no 1, and it dries down quite simmilar to Feuilles de Tabac by Miller Harris Nice, non overpowering animalic nuances Not that simmilar to Kouros imo

is this perfume discontinued? I couldn't find it in store.
