What does Joop! Homme Black King smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring third and summer well behind. It leans towards night outs and evenings, though business and daily wear also get votes. Most voters read it as masculine, and some as modern.

It opens with black pepper and orange blossom, spicy and floral at once. In the heart, a sensual skin accord and vetiver take over, and the dry-down rests on a smoky, leathery base. A sweet, fruity tone runs throughout. Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Le Parfum and Jimmy Choo Urban Hero have a close profile.
