The axis of black pepper, ylang-ylang and incense is what this is all about, with an emphasis on the incense. As the fragrance evolves, the middle notes of ylang-ylang offer a touch of sweetness and sensuality that soften the edges of the scent and make it more inviting. Plus, it looks brilliant in its heavy, handsome jet black bottle with eye-popping yellow text and sprayer detail. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.Joop Homme Absolute fragrance is an aroma highlighted by a bouquet of fragrant sweet, animal wildlife and white flowers scented tones that will bring a sensual, warm and soothing perfumed sensation. Longevity could be better on skin, but I actually prefer to adorn my scarves and similar accoutrement with this scent. I've had it on for around 14 and a half hours today, and it's still going strong on me - have very much enjoyed it - though now it smells more like Elizabeth Taylor's Passion for Men, as it's pretty much just the vanilla that is left emanating. Nope, you'll have to exercise your trigger finger and hit the spray button heaps to get any traction, at least in my experience.

Not a bad release from Joop, the scent is great, it’s a smoky vanilla that reminds me a little of YSL Opium. Opens well and on a day I tried Eros Flame and Spicebomb Nightvision this was like a creative lightening bolt in comparison. The fragrance reveals darker richer more exquisite notes as time moves on and 7 to 8 hours of performance should easily be within everyone's reach with this fragrance. As noted below, it’s nothing earth shattering, but compared with much of what is currently being churned out by the designer brands, this one sets itself apart very nicely.

It’s actually quite soft for Joop, but it’s longevity is excellent and I catch wafts of it for at least 6 hours.
