Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, Joop! Le Bain is a comforting hug of vanilla and amber that often surprises with its unique almond or cherry-tobacco nuances. You'll either get cosy sophistication or a 'what the hell is that?' moment, so try before you buy.
This one is a properly divisive beast. Some find it a screechy, old-fashioned aldehyde bomb, while others are utterly enchanted by its smoky, sweet, and masculine edge. Definitely sample before you commit.
