Which Should You Buy?
If you love the original JOOP! Homme and want something smoother, a bit less loud, and arguably more versatile, Neon Edition is your jam. If you don't 'get' the OG, this isn't going to convert you - it's still very much Joop, just with a slightly toned-down vibe.
If you're after a sophisticated, grown-up vanilla that steps above the usual gourmand fare, Imperial Vanilla might just be your new obsession. It’s got that cosy, warm hug vibe with a classy edge, polarising some for its kinship to other popular vanillas but winning over many for its refined take.
