Joop

JOOP! Femme is an eau de toilette for women, called JOOP! Parfum pour Femmes on the brand's website. JOOP! describes it as a tribute to feminine allure and subtle attraction. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

You experience it in three stages. The top notes appear first, while the base notes linger longest on the skin:

• Top notes: bergamot and neroli, for a lively freshness.
• Heart notes: Bulgarian rose oil and orange blossom.
• Base notes: sandalwood and patchouli.

JOOP! says that the opening is sure of itself, that the heart is sensual, with floral facets and a slightly spicy touch, while the warm base gives it depth.

How to apply it

1. Apply the perfume to clean skin moisturized with an unscented cream.
2. Choose warm spots: the wrists, neck, and the crook of the elbow.
3. Spray from a short distance, not directly against the skin.
4. Do not rub your wrists together. Let the perfume dry on its own.
5. If you want to refresh it, spray again on the neck, not on the wrists.

ProBeauty tip. The rose and orange blossom emerge after the citrus opening settles. Test it on your wrist and smell it again later before deciding.

JOOP! Homme is an eau de toilette for men, which JOOP! calls a fresh oriental fragrance. The brand describes it as a fragrance for the direct and passionate man, with floral, woody, and exotic notes. It is available in 75, 125, or 200 ml bottles.

What it smells like

The fragrance changes on the skin in three stages, from the most volatile to the most persistent:

• Top notes: bergamot, which brings cool freshness from the start.
• Heart notes: cinnamon, orange blossom, and jasmine.
• Base notes: sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli, with a subtle hint of amber, tobacco, musk, and honey.

JOOP! speaks about the contrast between the coolness of bergamot and the spicy "fire" of the heart. The base is described as exotic: warm wood, with a light sweetness of honey and tobacco.

How to apply it

1. Apply it after a shower, on dry and moisturized skin.
2. Spray on the neck, collarbone, and chest before getting dressed.
3. Hold the bottle a few inches away from the skin so that the fragrance distributes evenly.
4. Do not rub the skin after spraying. Let the notes settle on their own.
5. Start with a single spray and add more only if you feel it is too subtle.

ProBeauty tip. The base of JOOP! Homme is woody, with sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli, while amber, tobacco, musk, and honey appear only as a subtle hint. If you want to wear it to the office, a single spray on the chest, under a shirt, is enough.

JOOP! Jump is an eau de toilette for men, which JOOP! dedicates to men who dare to break away from convention. The brand describes it as refined yet unconventional, masculine and sensual. The bottle contains 100 ml.

What it smells like

Like any fragrance, it has three stages. The first is the shortest, the last lingers on the skin:

• Top notes: citrus and grapefruit.
• Heart notes: a splash of frozen vodka, the note JOOP! calls extravagant.
• Base notes: sweet tonka beans.

It starts fresh and tart, goes through a cool sensation, and ends warm and slightly sweet.

How to apply it

1. Spray on clean, dry skin after a shower.
2. Aim for the neck and chest, where the skin is warmer.
3. Hold the bottle at a small distance so the fragrance doesn't pool in one spot.
4. Do not rub the skin. Grapefruit and citrus evaporate faster if you rub them.
5. You can reapply with a spritz at noon if you feel the fragrance has faded.
