Joop! Femme (1987)
by Joop!

I bought this based on the reviews here and a good deal going at the local chemist. I am seriously impressed! After a slightly powdery opening I get a luscious and longlasting vanilla drydown. If you like vanilla I recommend this with two thumbs way up! The packaging leaves a lot to be desired but the juice is divine!

Behind this boring, uneventful looking bottle lies a fragrance so captivating and beautiful that you'll wonder how Joop! managed to advertise this fragrance so poorly.

This is a floral based scent, and a rich one at that. Creamy and somewhat mysterious, Joop! Femme is everything a scent should be.

Strong in the opening, the aldehydes and coriander create a powdery and slightly spicy scent which is complimented by the subtle citrus and fruity notes.

The heart of this fragrance gives way to luxury. My nose was met with delightful musky and powdery florals, the jasmine being most dominant. I do believe that white floral lovers will enjoy this fragrance whole heartedly.

There is a strange yet likable smokiness which lingers throughout this fragrance's composition. I really enjoy this aspect however I'm not certain as to what note brings it about.

The base notes are beautiful. The tonka bean, patchouli, vanilla, cedar and civet make a very pleasant and intriguing olfactory experience.

You don't need to spray much of this to make it last. The lasting strength is worthy of my praise. I do recommend.

One of the best Oriental on the market.. nothing can compare to Joop! Femme, i can´t believe this fragance is from 80's, okey Femme is a bit strong ,like the other fragrances of that decade, but doesn't smell like oldlady, is so well done.

Joop Femme is intense, sensual, a Femme Fatale fragance which reminds me of Givenchy Organza. Just from the first notes to the last you will love this scent. The powerlasting is incredible, this doesn't seem an Eau de toillet.

If you want to win a guy, this fragrance will make it possible..

I began buying this 7 years ago when I nearly swooned over the male version on my future husband . It is a vibrant , incense type sent that works well in hot and cold weather . I get complimented on it often , and its my favorite. They could charge double and Id still buy it .

WOW!!! I came back to this fragrance recently after remembering I used to wear it years and years ago in college. Now I cannot get enough, and wonder why I ever stopped wearing it. It is soooo long lasting. I spray it in the morning around 9am before work, and can still smell it on my clothing and skin at 10pm when I come home. My clothing smells for days!
What a treat Joop is. It is sweet and woodsy at the same time, and oh so heavenly!
I think Joop is way under rated. Rarely do I ever recall seeing ads for it, and it is so darn cheap nowadays, I got a 3.4 ounce bottle for only 27 bucks at an online retailer. I get more compliments on Joop than any other scent I have ever worn. People ask what I am wearing, and ask if it is something new. They are shocked when I tell them it has been around for over 20 years.
This is by far the yummiest scent I have ever smelled. I think a Joop revival is in order! Start advertising again, and I sure hope they never decide to discontinue this fragrance. I have 15 bottles stored away, so I think I am safe for the next seven or so years. It is now the only scent I will wear, and nothing compares to it!

I bought this after loving the male version. I prefer the male version to be honest but would still give this a thumbs up. It's really quite a heavy scent on me so its evening perfume and holds its own among the Poison, Opium and Angel wearers.
