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

  • orange blossom, honey, jasmine: all materials absent from Vain & Naïve.
  • More track record: launched in 1989, it has been worn for 37 years.
  • Less concentrated (Eau de Toilette), it should last less long.

Why choose Vain & Naïve

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Its pyramid opens on tobacco, nowhere to be found opposite.
  • Warmth wins out, with gourmand and amber in support.
  • It is 28 years younger (2017 against 1989).
  • No offer listed for the moment.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Vain & Naïve — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Most enveloping

    Vain & Naïve — signature carried by gourmand and amber
