Thought I'd treat myself seen as its my birthday on Monday, so it was a toss up between this and Tuscan Leather, though this was actually a blind buy.

[cologne connoisseur]

Excellent purchase, sir.

Thanks, Ivory88. It's my SOTD, and I'm enjoying it! In the future, though, I need to go a bit lighter on the trigger. Potent juice.

Actually I enjoy all three scents. Spicebomb and MIP for evening wear, fierce for daily wear. All three serve a very good purpose. Good reviews. Thank you.

Let us know what you think of the Joop mate

Let us know what you think of the Joop mate

Hey ho Dailey! I think that while it is a relatively sweet scent, it is quite dark as well (because of the rum for me). I was contemplating getting either this or Spicebomb, but in the end went for both as they are different. Definitely different from the original Joop Homme but longevity so far has been excellent. While it is good for night use/going out, I would think that if applied correctly it would make a very good work scent as well. Heck, I am even bringing it back to Malaysia in a couple of weeks' time to be used in the heat there! Will see how that goes eh haha.

And no, I don't think it is similar to 1 Million

Hope that helps!

[Dailey]

Nice one buddy. I'm going to Debenhams tomorrow, so I'll give it a try. I was going to get Spicebomb too, but it was a bit overpowering when I tested it. Great smell though.

Double Black



Blind buy on this one. Heard equally great and terrible things which intrigued me enough to take a punt on it.

Congratulations! great stuff!

[sillage monster]

Finally caved in. I was at the store for a long time after trying the tester, sniffing through the lipstick opening (which was much better than I remembered it being) until I got to the "chocolate-covered iris" that some say was there, and I fell in love. Just goes to show that you should never judge a fragrance on the first sniff. I was also pleasantly surprised when I bought the box home - it was the original formulation!

Also:



For a mere $65 for the 2.5oz. Now I wonder if I should just open it up and keep it or leave it sealed and try to sell it somewhere. Tough choice. This is the rarest fragrance I own now.
