The Story
Joop! Homme Intense is a bold, sweet oriental that cranks up the volume on the original. It opens with a blast of mandarin and cinnamon, then settles into a warm, powdery heart of heliotrope and orange blossom. The base is a rich blend of vanilla, tonka, and sandalwood. It's loud, sweet, and unapologetically confident.
