How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Joop! Homme

  • It costs less: from €22.82, while the other starts at €44.41.
  • It brings what the other lacks — cinnamon, bergamot, heliotrope.
  • Freshness dominates, with citrus in the lead.
  • More track record: launched in 1989, it has been worn for 37 years.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Scandal

  • It is more concentrated — Eau de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets Joop! Homme does not have: orange, caramel.
  • It is 28 years younger (2017 against 1989).
  • The more expensive of the two (from €44.41).

The verdict

  • Best price

    Joop! Homme — €22.82 at the low end, while the other starts at €44.41

  • Most concentrated

    Scandal — Eau de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Joop! Homme — signature carried by citrus
