Wow light
Since I really like the original Wow and even more the Intense with its smoky note, the Fresh was a must for me; well, it clearly carries the DNA of the original, but is softer, which some may see as an advantage, as the former can be quite overpowering. It is fresh, yes, but I perceive it more as a light version, and I also draw a comparison to 1-Million-Cologne, which smells similar.
So, anyone who likes the original Wow fragrance and wants it in a slightly less overpowering, yes, summery version will not be disappointed with the purchase.

Wow! Is it good!
I have the original Wow! EdP by Joop for a while now. And I really like it on cold days. Affordable, good performance, you stand out positively and just smell masculine. Wow! Fresh is now a lighter flanker. A bit fresher but still spicy, slightly sweet and with good performance. In this version, you can wear it on slightly milder days or even for outdoor sports. In summer and during indoor sports, still too much.

In the end, the same DNA as the original, just as mentioned, a bit toned down, a bit fresher. The bergamot is a bit more pronounced, lavender and tonka are toned down. Added to that are violet leaf and a bit of rose geranium. Fine and fresh. The performance is good, although slightly worse than the original. 6, 7 hours well perceivable, even for outsiders. As mentioned above, more flexible to use than Wow! EdT. The bottle is annoying, or rather the ring around the spray head. The price is great for Joop fragrances, you can't complain about that. Especially for the quality and performance. A recommendation from me.

Cool and Beautiful
This perfume starts with bergamot and later combines with lavender and violet leaves. Then the geranium joins in, and I sense an elegant aroma. Finally, the vanilla. The combination is good and not overpowering. Projection is medium. The first 2 hours have a good projection. This scent lasts 5-6 hours on my skin.

Great fresh flanker with good longevity
Once again, a great cheapie. The brand Joop has already reached a bargain-bin level in many perfume stores, and online this brand is available at drugstore prices. Some releases are rather insignificant, but there are a few good scents among them. The brand's best days are behind it, and it mainly lives off classics like Joop Homme, of course. The original Wow! for Men Eau de Toilette wasn't too bad either, but for me, this scent was too weak, and the competition among sweet-spicy fragrances is significantly higher. Here we get a freshie as EdT Fresh. A really great cheapie that you can already get for under €20 and is absolutely top if you like fresh violet scents. In my opinion, it's quite underrated for this price-performance ratio.

The box is white-orange and quite stylish. The bottle is also fairly solid, but the cap is extremely cheap. It's not a real cap, but rather a circle that you press on top and pull off. It could have been made nicer. But the content matters, especially in this price range.
The scent, as mentioned, offers a great violet fragrance that is noticeably fresher than the other releases in this line. You can tell that this is a flanker, and the name EdT Fresh fits perfectly. Of course, it also has the lovely sweetness of the original, but it is significantly refreshed. Due to this freshness, this scent takes on a different character and is also much more versatile. Even though Fahrenheit is listed as a similar scent here: The only thing these two fragrances have in common is the violet note; otherwise, not much. I really like violet combined with fresh notes and a subtle sweetness. This one delivers. The violet note is accompanied by a citrusy freshness and a pleasant classic lavender note that radiates warmth. Additionally, there's a nice vanilla sweetness and a gentle geranium that pairs wonderfully with the violets. Overall, it's not a complex scent, but a scent with character. The scent progression is rather linear, although the base becomes a bit sweeter and more sensual. Otherwise, there is little scent development.
I have to disagree with most regarding performance: It is really good for me, even significantly better than the heavier original. The sillage is good at first and then goes to moderate before it fades close to the skin after over 10 hours. Top and perfect for everyday wear without needing to reapply. I was a bit surprised when I got to know this scent earlier.

Worth it if you like violets. A scent with character and very pleasing due to this fresh-sweet refreshment of the original.

Violet
Well, I don't know the original DNA, but here I smell almost only violet.

A fresh, cool, clean, floral scent. Not bad but also not outstanding. I don't understand the praise from some people here.

Additionally, it comes across as very unisex, almost feminine to me.

In short: It's wearable (especially for the price), but the hype is not understandable to me.

A very underrated scent in my opinion. Better than the original - spicy, fresh, and well-received. S&H isn't so bad either.

Lavender Fresh Violet - a brighter, slightly tart and crisp version of WOW. Muted sweetness, similar to Fahrenheit.

Fresh, elegant, and with a slightly spicy drydown. An extremely successful everyday scent that pleasantly surprised me. It's going into the collection.

Really good & the best in this line. Original DNA, refreshed, unique, fresh-sweet violets. Like a friendly Fahrenheit without the fuel.

Great fresh-spicy start with a very subtle hint of the original DNA that becomes stronger over time, but stays understated, nice!

Clear freshness, a hint of violet, and a light vanilla note - that's how the new Wow! smells! A super successful summer companion that works anytime!

Both WOW! fragrances are simply great! Anyway, this one and the original. Herbal, fresh, a bit woody. Great stuff for a great price!
