The contaminated riding hall
I first got my first taste of Joop Homme at the tender age of 16. And I thought he was really good at first. He was cute, okay, but in a reasonable dose he could be really pleasant with his vanilla-woody tones. An equally young guy wore this fragrance, very discreetly dosed and of course only for going out in the evening. I liked it (the scent, the intimidated boy sometime no longer). Sweet, cuddly, cuddly. A good fragrance from the house of Joop, just like Nuit d'Eté and Berlin, which I had on my wish list at the time.

For many years, I consciously did not come across a wearer of this scent, until - it must have been 2003 or 2004 - I had to move into a new stable with my then riding participation horse. There was a riding instructor there who bathed in Joop Homme. Such olfactory combatants, which were revealed to me there during my sporting leisure activities, were unknown to me until then. And that of a student with five semesters of chemistry on her back. And believe me, not everything smells of violets - not to mention the strong silage of some cooking experiments in the laboratory.

But nothing else could compete with these olfactory grenades. The man, an elderly gentleman who had already passed the age of 60, entered the riding hall and within seconds it was contaminated. Normally I was used to riding instructors who always managed to get their eleves on horseback to concentrate with a Bundeswehr-like loud organ. With Mr. P., on the other hand, there were olfactory drones. And we are talking about an indoor riding hall, 20 x 40 meters. There p
* and k
* horses in it, it actually smells like a stable, like a horse, and on top of that they smoked in riding halls at that time, and not too close. All these smells had no chance against Joop Homme of Mr. P. Even when he gave lessons on the outdoor riding arena, we still felt the need to air out. Beaten to death with a heliotrope slingshot. Shouted at by jasmine and cinnamon, who constantly fought each other and especially the vanilla was not the best friend in this always exhausting environment of the farm. Tonka couldn't save anything and Patchouli sank into the olfactory stable-all.

I never processed that! When I smell this smell today, I want to run away. Far, far away. Preferably at a striding gallop. Giddyup!

...Ludenbomber..
Kalle, in certain situations also called Ralle!, is a lude from Recklinghausen who goes up to 4 times a week under the Ghettotoaster. Sitting broad-legged in front of his "line", occasionally grasping his hand at his crotch, he whistles after every little ug that sneaks past him. "Hey, doll, stop right there!" he's groaning after him. His hydrogen blonde mulcow hairstyle is always top styled. His 585 gold chain dangles around his wide neck, which connects to his torrero bull neck. Always a close look at his left arm, where his Rolex Daytona platinum prances casually. Chewing gum, he throws a big grin at his buddy: "Club, what day?"

Kalle gets up and marches on string tracks with his pump jogging pants and the fine-ribbed shirt into his boot and checks the situation. He reaches over the counter, sips his protein shake and takes another few splashes of his "Prinzporno-Wässerchens", from which he feels he has a bottle in every room of his establishment.
Top motivated he slaps off his buddy, sits down on his fire chair and shoots off. His hair is smashing on his solarium-tanned skin.

In no time at all he is at the lake, where his fire stool settles in the coarse-grained sand. No topic for Kalle, he extends the stand, parks the hot oven, takes a running start, shouts: "BOOmmBeeeee", and claps like a Germanic foundling on the water surface. Broad grinning he appears, his posse is already crouching on the shore laughing: "Ham is waiting for you, RAALLLEEE!" Who thinks, the towel comes now... no Kalle dieselt himself first and rubs himself dry with the hands and Homme - why a towel. The heliotrope cinnamon vanilla bomb is spreading all over the gravel ball. "Kalle!", shrine them all: "You're the greatest!", Kalle grins and lets herself be celebrated.....

For me one of the most crude (in the positive sense) fragrances of the late 80s and 90s. Here something was created, which did not exist in the form yet and does not really exist until today. You have to dare him - not for everyone - but unfortunately, I find him just skilful.

the only downside is it says "Joop" on it. I had to wait on that pompous guy at the hotel. here I don't continue writing, otherwise it is still called "slander"...
All in all a milestone of this time and an evergreen

This scent reminds me of my brother for all eternity
I remember today, my brother was all dressed up... for the 90s. That means Carlo Colucci sweater, Diesel or his favorite Picaldi - pants, white Nikesocken into which he has then put the pants and his great Air Max 1 .... He was felt 3 hours in the bathroom, his hair was done and sat 1 A: and then he reached into the cupboard and there he stood: The pink slightly globby flacon ... with the inscription Joop Homme... and then it was time, he sprayed the scent, and it was like an explosion... He sprayed such a quantity... that he never gets out of my nose until today...
He loved this noble fragrance, hot and intimate, and from that moment on I always had the right gift for him ... But as life sometimes plays out, our ways have unfortunately separated and we are unfortunately quarrelled and do not even talk to each other anymore... but sometimes, when I smell this fragrance, I hope or wish that it is my brother, who is standing right there behind me and we forget everything and start all over again, and take each other in our arms and think back to the good times .... My brother has left my life, but this fragrance will stay forever ...❤️

I'm really shocked...
One thing up front: I would love to rate this fragrance if the difference between vintage (1st Lancaster version) and today's (mid-2020 batch) was so severe....

I encountered the scent (again) a few years ago. Smelled it for the first time; immediately transported back to early youth. So brutal as with this fragrance I have NEVER experienced. Although to this day I have not been able to track down who wore it, that someone, and this scent must have played a big part in that time. A time that let me feel only positive things associated with this fragrance.
Alone for nostalgia reasons burned the fragrance in my brain, until I finally bought a bottle of it. Already there it was the Coty variant, but the comparison to the vintage version I did not know until then. I was satisfied... until the bottle flew to the floor after infrequent wear and the contents spread all over my floor.... The bathroom smelled for days afterwards....
Thus a new bottle ordered, this time of 2020... somehow packts me no longer... everything so brutally synthetic, the floral accords stand out immensely, the sweetness was also no longer how I once perceived it... maybe it's my nose, maybe it was reformulated again? Longevity and sillage - although still good - not so strong anymore... or am I about smell-blind become?

By chance here in the Souk (thanks again) a full Vintage Cornflower--Version get.
What can I say?

I could have cried... I was overwhelmed... Shit, YAAAA!!! THIS is it!!! More present than ever before! So brutally full-bodied, the finest cherry juice that lingers for hours. What I consider subtle vanilla, finely integrated floral accords (where is this synthetic crap coming from in the current release, which was skillfully and only subtly used in the Vintage?) and on the subtle wood note, which increases a bit towards the end. Funnily enough, the sandalwood comes on strong with my elbows, and how should it be otherwise; never as pungent and synthetic as in the current version.
Just everything much more elegant... Would pass today in my opinion as a niche fragrance!

Sillage and durability in this version really a beast. Is loved by my girlfriend. I think you mentioned in the first hour every 5 minutes, how good I would smell yet (when she tried the current variant at home, she said it would be a completely different fragrance!)
The presence lingers for several hours, which is extreme for my skin. Even after a good 24h, you can still smell it skin deep.

I can understand why today's version is hated by some.... but how on earth could one not love this vintage version!? While so on the nose, it's also so awesome!
Funnily enough, I personally think today's version smells much more vintage than this one I just described....

What have they done to you!!!

I have to confess, though: If you do not know the vintage version, the current is still quite ok. Nevertheless, I can now with direct comparison no longer give an assessment, because it is no longer the same fragrance in my opinion...

Long speech, short sense: Current version quite ok, but more also not... Too bad about this magical masterpiece!

Sweet? Yes! Bad? Nope!
Of course, this fragrance is sweet, it is even very sweet, and as is often the case with sweet fragrances, it is often worn by those who don't quite get it right with the dosage. But actually it's only these people who stand out and miss the scent of such a negative image - in this case the so-called "slut image" -, isn't it? There are also enough people who leave it at two or three spray strokes, do not attract negative attention and present positive examples, but about which one cannot get so heartily upset. It's not for nothing that people always remember the bad rather than the positive, and maybe that's the case with this fragrance too.

"Joop! Homme" is, like "Le Male", a part of my childhood memories. My father wore it, partly until he was 40 years old, although it is always said that this one is only for the younger people. Well, I don't think so. This sweetness can also look very mature when combined with an appropriate appearance and clothing style - of course always under the condition of the right dosage.
The sweetness I mentioned is not such a sticky sweetness, which is not seldom typical for today's winter candidates. Everything begins with a discreetly fruity opening, which is marked by the mandarin. I also hear orange blossom, which expresses itself discreetly floral and somewhat bitter. However, this only lasts for a short time and immediately takes a back seat to the mandarin.
The reason why I characterize this sweetness as not too sticky has to do with the heliotrope integrated in the Hernote. This is supposed to be a mineral that smells powdery - I googled a bit once. In combination with the cinnamon I now hear a slightly spicy powdery sweetness, whereby "Joop! Homme" more than deserves the adjective "oriental". Unlike other winter fragrances like "Stronger with You", you don't have to be afraid of tonka beans and vanilla. They skilfully underline the already existing sweetness with their soft and supple presence. Patchouli can also be smelt out, even if only occasionally. A very minimal green herbaceousness temporarily relaxes the fragrance experience, but usually disappears again after only a few seconds.
Let's talk about seconds, let's go over and talk about the hours that the scent on the skin lasts. Here I can say that the performance for an "eau de toilette" is really remarkable. Although the product has been on the market for ages and the recipe has certainly been tinkered with many times before, it cannot be said that it has been watered down, which, on the other hand, has fallen victim to many other fragrance classics in the course of the product life cycle. With two splashes you can easily get through the day and you don't have to be afraid not to be noticed. If one adheres to this rule, then one is perhaps perceived more positively than many overdosers.

The sweet scent for the metrosexual yuppie. I don't mean it in a bad way. I own it and I use it although I am not metrosexual or a yuppie.

A floral scent tagged for men is always a Risk but this one has had a good ending: It is hip after 30 years! Synthetic? A lot, but nice...
