After reading many of the reviews on this I finally decided to try it. Happy to say that it's every bit as soapy as people describe it. If your into soapy fragrances or enjoy wearing them then...

Up front in smells like oud... the sawdusty variation of oud (which I personally like). After 15 minutes the synthetic aspect of it is more apparent but it's still pleasant. I'm quite happy...

It's impossible to answer your
question, but, Joop! is indeed
in a league of its own ... I bet
it can dissolve teeth and kill
insects too!

I always try to avoid getting fragrances on my shirts, because I usually like to get a couple wears out of them before I wash them and I might not want to wear the same fragrance the second time. Sometimes it's unavoidable if I spray my wrist, but I usually try to spray high on my neck.

Depending on the scent, a few days to over a week. This is when I've not sprayed directly on clothes.

Firstly, Joop is one of the most potent perfumes known to mankind.
Secondly, all perfumes last much longer on clothes than on skin.

Sometimes I can smell fragrance on my winter jackets for weeks after I applied them on my clothes.
examples of such scents are Montale Black Aoud, Tom Ford Amber Absolute.

I guess it also depends on the kind of clothing, how long the perfume is going to last on them.
I think they'd last for much less on a thin cotton shirt than on a woollen sweater.
