Joop! What About Adam is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1992, created by Calice Becker. What About Adam opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Tomato Leaf, settles into a heart of Cedar, Sandalwood, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Joop!'s What About Adam carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

This discontinued Joop! fragrance is an absolute love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it are practically evangelical. The bold, photorealistic tomato leaf note makes it unique, though some find it utterly disgusting. It's a risk-taker for sure, but a memorable one if you get a good bottle.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Spring
Also Works:
Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its fresh, green, and aromatic profile, coupled with strong performance, makes it fantastic for casual wear and active use. The prominent and divisive tomato leaf note makes it less ideal for formal settings or intimate dates where mass appeal is key, and it might be a bit too strong for office environments.

About

Opens with a startlingly realistic hit of green tomato leaf, zesty grapefruit, and crisp mint, evoking a freshly tended garden. This vibrant greenness is tempered by a heart of aromatic lavender and warm, woody cedar and sandalwood. The dry down introduces earthy vetiver and oakmoss, with a surprising hint of creamy vanilla and labdanum adding a smooth, sweet depth that rounds out the initial herbaceous punch.
