More mustard! But good mustard!
Hold on, don't be afraid, you snoopers, my title doesn't predict that the scent here would smell like mustard :D
It's just that I saw the scent right in front of me and thought, "What the hell! Just give it a try, even if the whole world should know this scent here except for you". That's what you see according to the many commissioners on the scent here. Yeah, so what? I was just tiny small and just a few years old when this fragrance appeared (yes,... I was sweet there too, as a tiny guy... *sigh* what I've only become of myself?...)!
So I can't help it if you already know the scent, because you are all about 30 years older than me! Ssh! :DD
And you know me: What is tried, is also described, or in other words: I also give my mustard for this :D
Well, of course I try to stay objective, Joop is not one of my favourite brands. Well, I thought the thrill for men was quite nice, but otherwise I wouldn't necessarily howl if there weren't any Joop fragrances anymore, but hey, that's all a matter of taste. So, as I said, I'm now coming to Joop! Femme, which is probably now considered a classic among fragrances.
Anyway, there are of course a lot more scents available, but first of all they don't smell as strong as the scents listed above and secondly they are even more interwoven, so it's more difficult to identify them 100%, but let's see how it will be later.
The roses soon become stronger, the neroli also, jasmine seems to remain the same, and now there are also light, fruity notes, but more in the background. Later, however, you can smell the jasmine better, this is because the roses weaken again sometime, and I think the aldehydes are not as strong as they were at the beginning. Because besides the jasmine I later smell especially neroli and fruity notes well, in addition there is something woody and patchouli. And the smell is also horny! Hey hey, animalistic like beaver horny, you'll notice that more and more. By that I mean the Zibet, which may not be so popular with everyone, but it is not so much disturbing now, so you can live well with the Zibet, at least in this fragrance here. And if you also don't like oakmoss so much, I can reassure you that oakmoss also gets weaker faster.
The sweetness of jasmine is increasingly replaced by vanilla towards the base, making the fragrance more powdery and slightly softer. An additional sweetness comes from the amber and I think that amber and vanilla smell really great together. Otherwise, the fragrance becomes softer and softer and remains in the later base.
With such fragrances one expects an enormous durability right from the first sprayer and is not disappointed here either. The fragrance lasts very long, so it remains on the skin for more than 10 hours. Probably longer.
Guuuut, I admit it. This Joop fragrance belongs to the well-done fragrances of this brand. It smells a bit old-fashioned and therefore a bit more mature, but it's still good, even if I personally don't like all the scents, especially I'm not a fan of civet or oakmoss. But that doesn't matter, because you like the overall composition and, as reported, these two scents also weaken more and more.
Since I already mentioned the term old-fashioned (and not omahaft, that's a difference!): Yes, the fragrance reminds of other known fragrances of his time or fragrances that were still very popular in the 80s, such as Shalimar or No.5, to enumerate some well-known fragrances of their time. Oh yes, to clear up misunderstandings, I say again that I mean that Joop! Femme goes in the direction of the fragrances mentioned, in terms of style, and not that he would smell like these fragrances.
Be that as it may, the fragrance is particularly suitable for autumnal and winter days. I think you can use it for going out or for the evening, especially if you want to leave a bigger scent trail :D
Even if I personally should like other scents much more, I recommend nevertheless times to a test, above all with the favorable price!
Well then, that's it again, I wish you a nice evening and until my next babble! :D

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins with aldehydes, roses, sweetish jasmine and neroli and a few minutes later with oak moss. This makes it immediately clear that it is like an almost typical fragrance of the past, since I think that many women's fragrances from the 80s went in this direction or were still worn in this way, especially in the 80s. Anyway, there are of course a lot more scents available, but first of all they don't smell as strong as the scents listed above and secondly they are even more interwoven, so it's more difficult to identify them 100%, but let's see how it will be later.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
Noise! Buzz! Bang! Uh.... Okay bums sounds a bit "wrong"... :D I meant of course with these terms that the Sillage is a real firecracker. It is room-filling and can be smelled for a while at a distance, and probably it was even stronger at that time! With such fragrances one expects an enormous durability right from the first sprayer and is not disappointed here either. The fragrance lasts very long, so it remains on the skin for more than 10 hours. Probably longer.
The bottle:
Okay, the bottle is my real criticism of this fragrance here because it's just too simple and doesn't really look good in my opinion. It's just a container of yellowish scented liquid with a big Joop! inscription and a milky lid. There are much more beautiful flacons and I think that Joop has never had particularly beautiful flacons ... yes yes stonigt me! Guuuut, I admit it. This Joop fragrance belongs to the well-done fragrances of this brand. It smells a bit old-fashioned and therefore a bit more mature, but it's still good, even if I personally don't like all the scents, especially I'm not a fan of civet or oakmoss.
