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.

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)

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.

Night Flight At 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 at about 12 o'clock. Time enough to take a look at everything and marvel at it. So many times I stood in front of the arena, without a chance to get in. Against the " old " Parkstadion, although very loved, the pure luxury.
When it rains no longer pull a garbage bag over your head. No more running track and lots of beer and food stalls. And- clean toilets. The arena is very high and from the arena ring of the upper tier a view over half the Ruhr area. Dreamlike beautiful.
Then purely in the block, first with all squires around make known. Someone smelled good here. Now and then what blew over there. Club song sing, then it went off. Inconspicuously I sniffed off times my neighbors, huh. Los went it.
33. Min. goal, 0:1 for Kaiserslautern. Shit. Then, 79 min Larsen GATE 1:1, relief and joy. All of us were in each other's arms, there it was again, huh. And then, 83 min TOR Kristajic 2:1 Schalke. We pressed, danced and cheered. Again a great breath came over to me. Behind me the Schalker Jung was it.
Final whistle. Won. When most were already gone, I sat still a bit there and looked over into the Nordkurve, where the fans still celebrated with the team.
Behind me a voice," Kommse gez öfta? " I could smell it again." Kla, hap ne Dauerkate ergattat ". "Well, dat is yes toffte, then we see us yes öfta here" We chatted a few more minutes, then we went together to the train." Do you live in Ge?" "No, in Wanne Eickel". "Me too, then we could get together next time" "Yes, sure, but only if you put the nice scent on it" "Do you think it's good? "Very, what's it called?" Nightflight. "Abba nich vergessn! "
14 days later, behind me it smelled again class. 1:1 against BMG. Schalke was fourth at the end of the season. The first was done.

Nightflight is a great fragrance. Too bad that he was discontinued. Slightly fresh and fruity, pineapple and lemon, great combo. Lavender and juniper, floral spicy.The base subtly woody and ambery, with the top note never completely disappears. I was impressed by this. Fragrance and carrier. A great stadium fragrance.

Back to the year 1996
It was 1996 and Pollita was in the final stages of her baccalaureate. After her A-levels she wanted to start her studies. She had only recently ended a strenuous relationship that had lasted over two years and was now at the tender age of 19 ready for a new phase 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 circle of acquaintances that he was too old and that this could not go well. She still has the words of her grandmother in her head: "If you're not married or have a boyfriend by the time you're 30, there's something wrong with them," she told her granddaughter over and over again. Spending time with him just meant fun, happiness, joy. No barriers like before. With him she discovered her joy in football and even today both still cheer on the same team with enthusiasm. Whether in the club, in the football stadium on the fairground - this time with him was characterized by unbelievable much joy and detachment. That's exactly why she fell in love with him. He worked as a DJ in a bar and played her favorite songs, lots of new wave and synth pop, which she loved so much. She was wearing JPG Classique. He Joop Nightflight. Together they often lay under the starry sky and waited together until the sun rose in the morning.

It didn't last more than a year. Family and friends should be right. But they still have contact today and get along very well. Pollita has been happily married for many years. He's still a bachelor. How clever grandma was back then :)

A little anecdote from my life...

I still associate this fragrance with him today and with this wonderful part of my life that I would never want to miss. Too bad he disappeared from the market like so many other beautiful fragrances. Fragrances magically bring all the images and emotions from the past back to life. Maybe that's why I love scents 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
