Joop! Homme Red King
by Joop!
Joop! Homme Red King is a spicy, sweet woody fragrance with a bold and assertive character. It opens with a lively, cinnamon-forward accord that is sharp and slightly chemical at first, but soon mellows into a warm, creamy blend of tonka bean, cedar, and orange blossom. The dry down reveals a soft, sensual base that feels both masculine and slightly flirtatious, maintaining a strong sillage and long-lasting projection. While some find the initial burst overwhelming or unbalanced, many appreciate the transformation over time, especially in colder months. The fragrance embodies a refined, civilised version of the original Joop! Homme, making it particularly appealing for casual to evening wear, especially during autumn and winter.
