Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Encounter EDT
This one is a real head-scratcher. It's a gorgeous spicy boozy gem a lot of us love, but its abysmal performance is seriously frustrating. You'll need to overspray like crazy or accept it as a strictly intimate scent. Don't fall for the marketing hype, though; it won't get you laid.
Statement
Our Verdict - Joop! Homme Wild EDT
Divisive, potent, and polarising, Joop! Homme Wild is a boozy, sweet beast. Many love the rum-soaked tobacco, but almost as many find it cloying and synthetic. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for sugar-heavy clubbing scents.

Season and Occasion Fit

Encounter

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its soft projection and intimate nature make it suitable for close encounters like dates or casual evenings. Its boozy, warm spicy nature and poor longevity mean it's not ideal for the office or formal events, and it's definitely not a sport scent.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
