  It was my first perfume in my teens, and if I’m lucky to find it, people tell me: ‘man, you smell like Luis’—they recognize me by that scent. It’s vintage from 1992 and smells amazing; you leave a trail and it lasts well. But it has a flaw: if you wear it during the day and sweat, it smells terrible, which is why it’s called ‘Noche Vuelo’ (Nightflight)—perfect for going out. I’m surprised no one has commented on it; it smells exquisite. Being old, it does feel a bit synthetic or high in alcohol, but it’s a masterpiece, so I’ll have to buy it online.

  This was my first perfume in my teens, and if I’m lucky enough to find it, people say, ‘dude, you smell like Luis’—they recognize me by that scent. It’s vintage from 1992 and smells incredible; you leave a trail and it has great longevity. But it has a flaw: if you wear it during the day and sweat, it smells terrible, which is why it’s called ‘Noche Vuelo’ (Night Flight)—perfect for going out. I’m surprised no one has reviewed it; it smells exquisite. Being old, it does feel synthetic or high in alcohol, but it’s a masterpiece, so I’ll have to buy it online.

  Nightflight by Joop (pronounced ‘iop’, it’s German) brings together several qualities and flaws. The cap and atomizer smell fresh, clear, clean, and sensual. However, as soon as it’s applied, it feels synthetic and a bit dirty, which ruins the fragrance in part. As soon as it takes flight, the Nightflight gets crushed. The freshness remains but in the background (which is why many think it’s for day and summer); it seems the flight is reduced by that synthetic, dirty turbulence that contaminates the fragrance. More than a night flight, it looks like a daytime terrestrial drag. Later, the mentholated freshness, the sweetness of the pineapple in the background, the tonka bean, the sandalwood, and the musk give it a sexy identity (in my taste, slightly sensual) and nocturnal. I don’t feel the almond. The flowers feel faint, diffuse, and convoluted. I don’t see it as oriental as the sheet says. Some see it as masculine and others as unisex. On YouTube, there’s a woman using it, and it’s one of her favorites. Scent: 5.5/10, Sillage: 6/10, Longevity: 6/10, Versatility: 7/10.

  I had the chance to own it. For me, it’s strictly nocturnal, not versatile; you have to find the right spot in the middle notes. The opening is somewhat artificial in the citrus, and the base is slow but constant, subject to changes. It has good sillage and longevity (you have to take it with patience), and I think it has its own world that can please or not. It shares some notes with the original Joop Homme but has nothing to do with it. Joop Homme is more versatile, sweeter, and fits better with the oriental family without giving up on woods or florals. Nightflight is very atypical and for its specific time slot (neither before nor after); its middle notes emit unexpected sparks that greatly embellish the fragrance. This review is of the original; I don’t know if it was reformulated or discontinued, because its predecessor, Joop Homme, also stopped making those sudden changes in its reformulation, eliminating nutty notes that made it bitter. When I chose, I went with Joop Homme, and this one is still in my closet today.

  After a few hours, on my skin, it’s basically musky, a musk that reminds me a bit of Bal à Versailles.

  Pineapple, citrus, and lavender. That’s pretty much it. Although the list has tons of notes, I don’t detect many of them. In the drydown, maybe slightly more musky. The smell is very synthetic; the opening makes me sneeze, and I have to hold my breath. But aside from that, it’s not entirely bad; the drydown is pleasant, though always synthetic. Longevity is good, though the projection seems moderate. A perfume for hot weather, very masculine. It has that old-school 90s touch. I didn’t try the vintage, but it was surely better. For the price it costs, you can’t ask for more.

  Pineapple, citrus, and lavender. Not much more here. Although they list many notes, my nose doesn’t pick them up well; maybe it gets slightly musky as it dries. The scent is very synthetic—the opening makes me sneeze, and I have to hold my breath. Aside from that, it’s not entirely bad; the dry-down is pleasant, though still synthetic. Longevity is good, but projection is just average. Ideal for hot weather and quite masculine. It has that old-school 90s vibe. I haven’t tried the vintage version, but I’m sure it was better. For the price, you can’t ask for more.

  I’ve been using this for years; I always saw it as a freshie from the early 90s, but not aquatic like Cool Water. The lack of an aquatic nuance is accentuated by elegant lavender, sandalwood, and bergamot. And it has that special point: the pineapple. A sweet, friendly pineapple, like a Sugus candy. It works very well in summer; it refreshes but has that ‘something more’ with character for special occasions. The structure is complete, wearable day and night. Projection and longevity are correct. A charming and honest aroma. Personally, I like it more than Aventus.

  There’s no confusion here; upon application, you’re instantly transported to the late 80s and early 90s. Classic fresh scents with lavender, citrus, herbs, and sandalwood. I doubt a young person today would appreciate it; the trend is sweet, citrusy aromas like Invictus. This opens similarly to Polo Sport, too much so, but in the drydown, that almond note appears, making it unique. That’s the best phase: it shifts to a pleasant balsamic aroma with soft woods. The pineapple is only noticeable at the start, and the citrus flies off quickly. The final phase is great. If you’re over 30 and tired of searching for fresh scents that last, this is a good option. Scent: 8, Longevity: 8 (8 hours), Projection: 7 (very good), Price: 10.

  No doubt about it: the moment you apply it, you’re transported back to the late 80s and early 90s. These are fresh classics starting with lavender and citrus, with herbs and sandalwood in the base. I doubt today’s youth would appreciate it, since modern scents lean sweet and citrusy, like Invictus. This Nightflight opens similarly to Polo Sport, too much so, but as it dries, that almond note emerges, making it unique and its best phase: it shifts to a pleasant balsamic touch with soft woods. The pineapple is only noticeable at the start, and the citrus fades quickly. The dry-down is great; if you’re over 30 and tired of fresh fragrances that don’t last, this is a solid choice. Scent: 8, Longevity: 8 hours, Projection: 7, Price: 10.

  I don’t know how to categorize this divine fragrance; it’s unique in its class despite the affordable price. It breaks with Joop’s tradition without diminishing their other offerings. Nightflight doesn’t stay critical; it goes beyond. I don’t know if it’s Virginia juniper or Brazilian rosewood, but it gives a magical touch that makes you feel vibrant and secure. I recommend it to anyone who likes something different and special, outside the monotony. It envelops you, provoking security and freedom.

  This NIGHT FLIGHT is hard to get a handle on, especially for a JOOP. At first, it seemed unpleasant, piercing, and grating. Excessively artificial, with a premeditated nocturnal vibe and an abuse of authority. Like cheap hairspray that you’re not sure will hold or frizz your hair. I didn’t form an opinion immediately because I learned you have to give perfumes a chance. It grated on me at first like Chanel No. 5 did when I was little, but now I tolerate it a bit more. It still feels synthetic and artificial, though that doesn’t have to be bad; most masculine Joop scents are. Nightflight handles a difficult-to-assimilate accord; I don’t detect the listed notes. It’s very musky, with those incisive white musks that give you a gag reflex. The oriental family listed on the sheet is fake; it’s aromatic, musky, and aldehydic. The aldehydes are pungent, acidic, and volatile, intensifying that emetic citrus musk. I acknowledge it has more notes than just the musk, but I can’t describe them. I’m sure it carries synthetic citrus and herbal notes. I could detect citronellal, geraniol, melonal, and benzaldehyde, but I don’t sense anything natural. Performance is excellent, personality is strong, usable without hyper-dosing but mandatory to test first.

  Joop! Nightflight seems to be the most in-demand right now, with low stock and skyrocketing prices, ranging from 30-35€ up to 100€. As a collector who buys everything, I must say that given the ‘night’ in the name, I expected more; they seem to emphasize ‘flight’ instead, making it feel serious and elegant for those over 30, reminding me of Heir by Paris Hilton, though this one has a sweeter dry-down after a few hours. I liked it, but it’s best for special occasions. I was surprised to see it features pineapple, which is very noticeable; to me, it smells like lemon, rose, and lots of alcohol, drying down dry and masculine thanks to the musk. They could have added vanilla or sugar like in Heir, which would have suited my taste better. Still, it’s great for guys over 30. I can’t say anything bad about this designer.

  Nightflight by Joop! is now super sought-after; the price has skyrocketed from €35 to €100, and there are very few units left. I grab everything that comes out, but given the name ‘Night,’ I expected more; here, the weight is on ‘Flight,’ making it something serious and elegant for men over 30, similar to Heir by Paris Hilton, though Heir gets sweeter later. I liked it, but it’s for special occasions. I was surprised it had pineapple and was so noticeable; to me, it smells like lemon, rose, and lots of alcohol, drying down to a masculine scent thanks to the musk. They could have added vanilla or cocoa like in Heir. It’s fine for guys 30+, I can’t say anything bad about the designer.

  I picked this up back in 2006 at a normal price of $25, and as always, once I bought it, I finished it. It came off very synthetic, with citrus, pineapple, and that metallic touch like Eternity—I think lavender. The drydown was sweet but weird, hard to explain. At the time, it was unique compared to Blue Label, Polo Blue, or Terre d’Hermès. Nowadays, with so much competition, I’ve lost interest; it’s only for crazy collectors.
