Joop! Jump by Joop!

Jump! by Joop: I wasn’t holding out much hope, remembering how ‘What about Adam’ disappointed me years ago. I picked it up for everyday days without special events and got the 200ml for just $21. What a surprise! It’s powdery yet fresh, bursting with rosemary and grapefruit right out of the bottle, followed by very pleasant sweet notes. It’s not a beast in terms of longevity or sillage (and I didn’t expect much for the price), but it lasts about 2 hours leaving a soapy, clean trail. It’s standard, but for the price, it’s a safe buy. UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026: A friend asked for it, so I gave him almost a full bottle. My 7-year-old loved it and would sneak it to use, so I bought two 100ml bottles, one for me and one for him. He was so happy he said he’d start his own collection. Rating: 8/10.

Excellent, fresh and citrusy at the start; the rosemary adds freshness and a mentholated touch alongside the cilantro. At the end, there’s a soft sweetness, vanilla-like but not overpowering. Four sprays are more than enough; on clothes it’s not too strong, but on skin… wow, easy 12 hours. 100% recommended, I bought it a few days ago and didn’t even realize it had been out since 2005. I’m 29.

Ten minutes on skin, thirty on clothes, smells weird, won’t be buying again.

I remember using this fragrance back in 2005 when I started working. It’s incredible how a scent can transport us back to certain moments in life. It has a soft sillage, is powdery, and perfect for warm climates. You can detect the grapefruit and heliotrope. Excellent for the office. It wasn’t a beast mode, but the feeling was very pleasant. I’ll try to get my hands on it again to remember those years of my life.

I recently picked up a 30ml bottle from the era when Lancaster distributed it. I like it, but I can’t quite find the optimal temperature to enjoy it. The pillars are, in my opinion, heliotrope and tonka. The grapefruit might be noticeable at first, but it doesn’t stand out. It’s sweet, very powdery, and has a linear development. Clearly informal and childish (as someone put it), with great longevity and moderate projection. However, as I said, I still haven’t found the best time to wear it; I can only say it’s not recommended for summer; its sweetness ends up getting overwhelming in the heat. I’ll keep testing until I find the optimal moment.

For the price, it’s very good, although it doesn’t stand out in any way. In short, great value for money, works for practically everything (leaning towards formal), and the longevity is acceptable. It serves for everything but doesn’t stand out. If you’re someone who uses one perfume for everything and doesn’t want to spend much, I think it’s ideal. That opinion is from a while ago; it’s improved quite a bit: it’s a very good scent and lasts a long time on the skin. For the price, it’s very good; there are more expensive brands, and this one outshines them all. The advantage is that it’s very versatile, smells great, and everyone will like it. The disadvantage is that it lacks something special… with this perfume, that’s not the case; it’s very fresh, slightly sweet with a very appetizing spice touch, perfect for smelling good and taking it everywhere. It’s ideal for daily wear, affordable, and smells very well without offending anyone. I give it a 7 for scent and a 9 for value.

A youthful scent, sweet by nature and kind for those days when you don’t know what to wear. Ideal for late afternoon/evening in spring, in mild weather, and if possible, not too hot. Like all Joop, it performs well and is cheap.

It’s a fresh scent, feels slightly mentholated, perhaps due to the cilantro note, which gives it a very pleasant special touch. The sillage and longevity are excellent. It’s not the type of scent I fully enjoy, as I prefer sweet ones, but for a formal situation or going to the office, it’s a perfect option.
