Femme

by Michel Almairac

Joop! Femme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1987, created by Michel Almairac. The fragrance opens with Coriander, Bergamot, Lemon, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Jasmine, and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Civet, and Sandalwood.

Our verdict on Femme: Acquired

Joop! Femme is a divisive, unapologetically loud 80s powerhouse. It's either a timeless, sophisticated stunner or an overwhelming, dated mess. You either get sensual incense and creamy woods, or straight-up barnyard civet. Test before you commit, this one's a wild ride.

About

Joop! Femme opens with a bold, almost brash aldehyde and a burst of juicy, slightly spicy fruitiness from the coriander and bergamot. As it settles, a lush bouquet of white florals-jasmine, rose, and orange blossom-emerges, softened by a powdery haze. The true character unfolds in the warm, animalic base where civet, rich sandalwood, and amber mingle with a sweet, comforting vanilla and earthy patchouli, creating a complex, long-lasting aroma with a distinct incense-like quality.
