Joint pour Homme Roccobarocco 1993 Eau de Toilette
2
Furyo's younger brother
First off... the title on the bottle turned to dust - worst paint ever.
Opens with rose, carnation, honey and a large dose of civet, but the dry-down is ALL civet and honey, with some patchouli thrown in.
Released in 1993, when everyone had already moved away from this style, Joint was a commercial flop. I see why many consider this a lighter version of Jacques Bogart Furyo (which is too much for me), but I also see it as a much louder cousin to Gianfranco Ferre For Man.
As you might have noticed I'm not a huge fan of very animalic fragrances, but I can enjoy this one more than others mostly because 1) though it projects very well, it's not a powerhouse, and 2) the florals tame the animalics in the opening, something which according to my nose does not happen with Kouros, Antaeus, Boss Number One, and other animalic beasts.
Masculinity Level: The Colonel in Avatar, who starts out likeable but is a maniac by the end.

My go-to on the dog days of Summer
MODERN VERSION 2005+
Excellent fresh Spring/Summer green scent. The zesty citrus opening leads to a woody, floral dry-down. Its performance is slightly better than most Summer fragrances, but still nowhere near I'd want it to be. Alongside...
