Joop! Thrill Man Joop! 2009

I have known this Joop for several years now, and I am taking my free time to dedicate a comment to this beautiful fragrance. I have previously emptied a 30ml bottle and currently have an almost full one in my collection. Almost full, thankfully, since it has been discontinued. Unjustly, in my opinion. The Joop brand has many good fragrances available at affordable prices. Besides the all-time classic Joop Homme, I really like the fruity scents Go, Jump, and also Thrill. Modern, young, dynamic, and above all uncomplicated.

The bottle is rather simple, but in a beautiful red. The only size I have ever seen was 30ml. I have searched everywhere but never found a larger size. A pity, even though smaller sizes certainly have many advantages.
One thing upfront: I find the performance rating here strange. Some H/S are rated higher, while in the designer category, they are often underrated. This Thrill really projects strongly on me, and the longevity is in the double-digit range.
Bought for the first time a few years ago and worn often: The scent simply has that certain something for me. Especially on colder days, it was a great companion. Specifically among fruity scents, it is one of my favorites. It has a wonderful fruity note that smells like a mix of apple and cherry. Along with the dominant fruity note, warm notes like amber and vanilla add a good weight to this fragrance. Not too heavy, yet. Soft woods are also present. A great combination of sweet, fruity, and woody notes. Never too much, while the performance is outstanding.

Unfortunately unjustly discontinued. Among the Joops, it is one of my favorites. Especially as a transitional fragrance, it is a nice alternative with a lot of individuality.
