Fragrance Reviews by Maddyrain

I really don't know why this fragrance is not market as an unissex fragrance. As mentioned before by many reviewers, this is an unusual fragrance. Its inverted pyramid is really tricky, but, on my skin, its staying power is moderate.

Great bottle and presentation, but maybe great part of its fame is just hype. It is not recommended for nights out... At least I can't imagine myself reaching for it for a night out at the club... Great choice for office use.

In my opinion, the best summer variation of Joop! Homme. It starts with nice citrus fruits and its drydown is a delicious combination of apple and muguet.

The base is the well-known Joop! Homme's base notes... just a little more smooth. Perfect for hot days!

As strange as it may sound, Joop! Jump Summer Temptation is stronger than the traditional version! The vodka note is more evident.

Actually, it is easy to describe this fragrance: imagine a combination of grapefruit, strong notes of cardamom and vodka and some wood. That's it! That's how Jump Summer Temptation smells like.

Highly recommended, not only during hot days.

Finally Joop! presents its fans with a different fragrance. I mean, Jump and Go are identical! They almost share the same base notes!

Joop! Thrill is like a tribute to Joop! Homme. It is sweet, with top notes of apple and bergamot. Soon it starts to feel like an upgraded version of 212 Man... full of vanilla and sandalwood.

Women will find this fragrance quite wearable too. In fact, I wonder how Joop! Thrill Women is like... Is it suitable for men?

The staying power is quite good, as well. Not a sillage bomb, but trully noticeable for 4-5 hours. Thumbs up for Joop!

Thé Rouge is a beautiful and well composed creation. I've never drunk red tea, so I have no idea how it smells, but what I get from Thé Rouge is a delicious combination of figs, coconut and almonds. It reminds me autumn... a warm and confortable bed...

Great citrus fragrance! It's kinda funny, but the official Joop! website does not list it anymore, and it became really hard to find it nowadays.
The beginning is an explosion of grapefruit, evolving to something more comfortable... Great staying power, as well as its sillage. Highly recommended to those looking for a good green scent.

And here we have the inexpensive clone of Versace Man Eau Fraiche. Come on, "capuccino"? Don't know where...

A good fragrance, but to similar to JPG's Le Male. No need to buy this if you have the latter.

I may have bought a fake version, but this one stays only 15 minutes on may skin! I just love the fragrance, everytime I go to a retail store I stop by the counter just to smell it... but what I have at home is another thing!

Simply horrible. If you want to smell like a makeup bag, then i'ts perfect for you! Not my case, thank you.

The beginning is quite citrus, with the bergamot and lemon, evolving to something more fruity. I can really smell a little bit of strawberry and pineapple. Lovely.
The base is the classic and adored (at least by me) base of Joop! Homme, but not too strong and annoying. Perfect for hot days, or just a walk in the park. I still think that the best summer edition of Joop! Homme is "Summer Temptation". I haven't tested the "Beach Clubbing" yet...

A lovely fragrance! This one smells so nice...
Unfortunately, it doesn't last long on me... :(
But, anyway, a great choice for those days when you just want to smell nice to go out for a quick walk.

Maybe too unique and different to my taste. The top notes are just terrible and I found to hard to wait the base notes come. Besides, the longevity is so poor...

One of my most powerful perfumes along with Joop! Homme, Paco's Black XS and JPG Le Male!
It is strong, but not offensive like Joop! Homme (although I love it).
Very delicious and light. Perfect for hot days. The carambola, a very traditional fruit from Brazil, is perfect and can be smelt during all notes, in my opinion.
Great sillage!

Great fragrance! The "Man" line by Versace proved to be wonderful!
I found the base notes of "Man" quite feminine, although the tabacco leaves are very evident...

Wonderful from the very start... the pepper note is very very strong at the beggining, but soon fades out... leaving a delicious combination of tabacco and kashmir..

Hmmmm...
This one is so delicious! For me, it is just about the vanilla and amber notes. For those days when you want to smell like a hot petit gateau! Perfect.
Oh, and it makes me feel so sexy... Don't know why.. Some perfumes have this power...

Indeed it does reminds cough medicine, at the end, which is strange, but this is a wonderful fragrance. Much more complex and richer than the "Be Delicious".
The longevity is great! The sillage is just perfect! I can smell it for hours! Now... when we talk about "Be Delicious"... it lasts, on my skin, for about 1 hour! Terrible!
"Red Delicious" is very dark and I wish I could have a drink that could taste just like this perfume smells...

Joop! Homme is one of my favorite fragrances, but, unfortunately, for those who live in the tropics, it is a very strong fragrance that cannot be used everyday.
Summer Fever is the answer to this problem. It is just the traditional version, but way too less strong. It has a wonderful "berry-note", maybe raspberry, that make it feels like "212 Sexy"...
Great perfume. The lasting power, as usual for Joop!'s fragrance, is superb! I still love Joop! Home, but this summer version may be sprayed more often!

Terrible! From the moment I sprayed it on a department store, I felt that my head would explode! Horrible.

Hm, I just loved this new fragrance by Kenzo! Very sharp and citrus. Very good! Hope to purchase one bottle for me soon!

The problema with Joop! Go is that it is very similar to Joop! Jump. Honestly, I can't see much difference between them both... I can't sense any blood orange neither.. Anyway, I love Joop!'s fragrance, but unfortunately, "Go" is not as good as the others fragrancies from Joop!.

Rococo is an interesting fragrance. The bottle would receive, only by itself, a thousand of thumbs up!

I just love the notes! And I'm not really into woody fragances! The start is very spicy, I can feel the pepper all around it, and it dries down to very sweet woody notes...

Unfortunately, it doesn't last much. It just vanishes after two or three hours! What a pity! Wish it could last longer on my skin.. Even the scent that always stays in the clothe you're wearing vanishes...

Urgh! This perfume is terrible! Once a girl in my office bought a bottle and just opened it... the whole building was smelling like old lady's purse... Terrible...

This one is just perfect! Dunno why but something tells me that there a lot of strawberries in its composition! It's just delicious and sexy!

This fragrance is just lovely! Very good for the summer. Unfortunately, it doesn't last long on me. Oh, it does last some time, but the notes dry down really fast... Maybe next time I'm gonna spray it four times on me... Anyway, lovely.

Tooooo simple! I traveled to the beach with a friend of mine and it was like going there with an walking orange! Terrible... I like orange's scent, but this one is too simple.

Man, this perfume is just perfect! I first tested it about three years ago and just forgot about it. I liked but didn't include on my wish list. But then, out of the blue, the scent of it came to me and I just had to buy it! It took me a long time to find it here in São Paulo, Brazil. People told me that Rochas wasn't producing perfumes anymore (can anyone confirm this for me?).

The fragrance is very delicate and gourmand. The top notes are very green, but they fade very fast. Then comes the special part... the coffee and vanilla notes stay on your skin for a long time... They are not strong notes, but everyone who comes next to you will feel them and ask you: "Man! What a perfume!"

Lovely!

Urgh! Disgusting! A friend of mine have this one and it is terrible... She's 20 somethings years old and everytime she wears this, she's like 100 years old! Too strong! Maybe perfect if you live in the middle of nowhere, with snow all around you!

The green top notes are just wonderful... if only they could last longer... I just can't feel the middle note and the base one is just awful for me... as day goes by I feel like I'm with a incense stick on me...

This one was once in my wish list but, fortunately, a friend of mine had a bottle and I could just loose all the passion for this fragrance... Thinking now, it was very artificial, simple and exclusively for summertime. It can still be found here in São Paulo, Brazil, even though it was discontinued.

Very sweet and strong! This fragrance is perfect for nightwear and it lasts long enough on my sking! It reminds me somehow Joop!'s male fragrance, but this one is not THATTTT strong and sweet... it's more fruity...

My mother owns this one and she wears it almost every day. Very smooth and delicate fragrance. Not an old-lady-fragrance, but still not a girlie one too...

According to www.boticario.com.br, the notes for this fragrance are:
Top: geranium, bergamot, lime, tea rose
Middle: bromelia, muguet e gardenia.
Base: sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver, Musk

Hm, this one is so good! It reminds me a lot Givenchy's Xeryous Rouge, but not too strong. This fragrance is perfect for the night, too strong and very long-lasting.

According to www.boticário.com.br, the notes are:
Top Notes: bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit, star fruit
Middle Notes: nutmeg, ginger, pepper, coriander, cardamom, star anis, salvia, cedar leaves, basil, saffron
Base Notes: cedarwood, vetiver, patchouli, cypress, sandal flower, moss, musk, amber

The first time I ever used this fragrance it gave me a terrible headache! It's way too strong, with citric notes all over it. Perfect for a sunny day in the park, but not for me...

Acqua Brasilis is a greta cologne for an everyday use. It opens up with very strong citric notes, followed by a gentle fig middle note, which lasts very shortly on my skin...

Do you know love at first sight? Well, it happened with me when I first saw the advertising for this fragance on a mall, ten years ago. When I asked to taste this frag on my skin, well, I was about to ask the bottle for marriage...
Anyway, this is a very special fragrance for me, I won from my mother and it was my only fragrance for years. Wonderful, very green and long-lasting...
After ten years it still has the same perfume, the same longevity... and it still fills me with an elegant aura everytime I wear it...

I love tea notes but unfortunately this one is too soft for me... I asked today at a perfume store to taste the fragance on my skin and it disappeared after half an hour! Such a disapointment...

Simply wonderful! This fragrance is very popular among the gay scene here in Brazil maybe due to the "candy" smell on it...

It was my last Joop! fragrance to buy, but, curiously, the first one I've ever smelt...

Not a day to day perfume, 'cause it's too potent for the weather here in Brazil, but definitely perfect for a dinner in a fancy restaurant...
