Pineapple

Lots of pinneaple and lavender with good lasting power and great sillage.

But it doesnt work with my skin... Smells too synthetic when dries down.

Barefoot, Staring At The Midnight Ocean, Lost In Thought And Wonder

As a "Joop! Homme" worshipper, I had no doubts about instantly purchasing and wearing Nightflight when it was released in 1992. The blue sapphire bottle engraved with stars and the cap wrapped in a silver metal band immediately attracted my attention, and the juice inside did the rest. Nightflight was a surprisingly pleasant alternative to the original, which I found to be a black cherry syrup juice.

The original version of '92 had an unbelievably fresh property, with a kind of vibe kindred to Azzaro Chrome and Davidoff Cool Water, Giorgio Beverly Hills Wings, and Chopard's Heaven, quite mysterious, imagine the smell of sparkling moonlight, nightfall full of stars. Did you ever fly at night, the full moon reflecting above a blanket of clouds, the sky full of stars? Nightflight reminded me of that phantasmagorical scenario. It was quite a bright, fresh, sharp, floral aquatic fragrance, but anything calone for that matter!
Right off the bat, a fresh burst of citrus fruit, lemon and bergamot, creamy lavender, and grassy green notes spread in the air after the initial sprays. Albeit pineapple is one of the most rated notes, I did not remember it as such an important note, surely not a kind of like Aventus for instance. A touch of juniper berries was balancing otherwise too zesty and creamy opening. The overall opening was aromatic, citrus, a bit fruity, and green, of course.

The heart turned into something more bittersweet and floral. Venomous masculine and overtly hypnotic almond went very well with feminine white flowers, gentle rose, and rosewood. Again, this heart did not result in a sweetheart thanks to the addition of earthy geranium. It was a core that led to floral, with a touch of gourmand and woody facets, and plenty of white florals. That floriental scent lingered for hours before wearing off when dry.

Finally, when I thought there was nothing more to come, the dry down exploded in all its fragrance. Woody and musky accords of flat sandal and clean musk juxtaposed against yummy dry amber and sweetish tonka. There was a burnt note in the background. When I wore it twenty years ago, I didn't know what it was. Now I know, it was the smell of roasted tonka beans and cumin! Even with plenty of tonka added in the base, the cumin added a tad of spiciness and continued to prevent this composition from becoming particularly cloying. Besides, the cumin gave the fragrance an intriguing saltiness, and only smelt like cumin if you concentrated.

As an oriental, I preferred to wear it when I was outside during the colder months, the sweetness was all too much for me in the heating period, and tonka, amber, and sandal lent it a little warmth. It did quite an excellent job during winter as it cut through the cold air. Exceptional longevity and the sillage was great as you'd expect from Joop!. I've just realized it's suited for a lovely summer evening, maybe even during the daytime in spring and fall, now I know. I found that when I wore Nightflight in 'passionate moments' it started to shine with the heat of the body.

Stay well; stay healthy.

Long live the citrus scents

Being a citrus lover and user during my whole life, I really love this one!
Spicy, fresh, clean.
Acid pineapple stands out in my skin.

I expected it to last more, though.
(it's a moderate for me, but acording to the reviews it's a long lasting for most of people, which I'm not included)

Very interesting and versatile, can be used for work, sports, dates, and even a club.

I could smell like this all day! :) (and night)

Night Flight to Schalke

I had to wait four years for my season ticket. The waiting list was long. And then, finally. Happy and excited, I set off around noon. Plenty of time to take everything in and marvel at it. I had stood in front of the arena so many times, without a chance to get inside. Compared to the "old" Parkstadion, although very loved, this was pure luxury.
No more putting a garbage bag over my head in the rain. No more running track and plenty of beer and food stalls. And - clean restrooms. The arena stands very high, and from the upper tier, there’s a view over half of the Ruhr area. Dreamily beautiful.
Then into the block, first getting to know all the fans around me. Someone smelled good here. Occasionally, a nice scent wafted over. Singing the club anthem, then it started. I discreetly sniffed my neighbors, hmm. Here we go.
33rd min. Goal, 0:1 for Kaiserslautern. Shit. Then, 79th min. Larsen GOAL 1:1, relief and joy. We all embraced, there it was again, hmm. And then, 83rd min GOAL Kristajic 2:1 Schalke. We hugged, danced, and cheered. Again, a wonderful scent wafted over to me. It was the Schalke fan behind me.
Final whistle. We won. As most people had already left, I sat there a bit longer and looked over to the North Curve, where the fans were still celebrating with the team.
Behind me a voice, "Are you coming here often?" I could smell it again. "Sure, got a season ticket." "Well, that's great, then we'll see each other often here." We chatted for a few minutes, then we went to the train together. "Do you live in Ge?" "No, in Wanne Eickel." "Me too, then we can go together next time." "Yeah, sure, but only if you wear that nice scent again." "Do you like it?" "Very much, what’s it called?" "Nightflight." "But don’t forget!"
Two weeks later, it smelled great behind me again. 1:1 against BMG. Schalke finished fourth at the end of the season. The first one was done.

Nightflight is a great scent. It's a shame it was discontinued. Light, fresh, and fruity, with pineapple and lemon, a great combination. Lavender and juniper, floral and spicy. The base is subtly woody and ambery, while the top note never completely disappears. That impressed me. The scent and the wearer. A fantastic stadium scent.

Back to the Year 1996

It was 1996 and Pollita was just in the final stages of her high school diploma. After graduation, she wanted to start her studies. She had recently ended a strenuous relationship that lasted over two years and was now, at the tender age of 19, ready for a new chapter in her life. That’s when she met him. She had known him for a while, but it was only then that they got to know each other better. He was already 30, and the young chick was warned by everyone in her family and social circle that he was too old and that it wouldn’t end well. She still remembers her grandmother's words: "Anyone who is 30 and not married or in a relationship has something wrong with them," she had repeatedly drilled into her granddaughter. Spending time with him simply meant fun, happiness, joy. No restrictions like before. She discovered her love for soccer with him, and even today, both cheer for the same team with enthusiasm. Whether at the club, in the soccer stadium, or at the fair - this time with him was filled with incredible joy and freedom. That’s exactly why she fell in love with him. He worked as a DJ in a bar and played her favorite songs, a lot of New Wave and Synthpop, which she loved so much. She wore JPG Classique. He wore Joop Nightflight. Together, they often lay under the starry sky, waiting for the sun to rise in the morning.

It didn’t last longer than just under a year. Family and friends were right. But they still keep in touch today and get along great. Pollita has been happily married for many years. He is still a bachelor. How clever her grandmother was back then :)

A little anecdote from my life....

I still associate this scent with him and this wonderful chapter of my life that I would never want to miss. It’s a shame that it, like so many other beautiful fragrances, has disappeared from the market. Scents have a magical way of bringing all the images and emotions from the past back to life. Maybe that’s why I love fragrances so much?

Man oh man what an awesome fresh fougere! Similar to Chopard Heaven but a bit more on the green side instead of fresh fruity. Must have!

Excruciatingly bittersweet, a bomb of creamy lavender, bitterly almond, and roasted tonka. Pineapple overdosed right before Aventus happened
