Joop! Jump by Joop!

Jump! by Joop: I wasn’t holding out much hope; I remember ‘What About Adam’ giving me the shivers years ago. I picked it up for everyday wear without any events, snagging 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 a heavy trail (nor did I expect that for the price), but it lasts about two hours leaving a soapy, clean scent. It’s standard, but for the price, it’s a safe buy. UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026: A friend asked for it, so I gifted him almost a full bottle. My seven-year-old son absolutely loved it and would sneak it to use, so I bought two 100ml bottles, one for me and one for him. He was thrilled and 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 coriander. At the end, there’s a soft sweetness, vanilla-like but not overpowering. Four sprays are more than enough; it doesn’t smell much on clothes, but on skin… ufff, easy 12 hours. 100% recommended, I bought it a few days ago and didn’t even realise it had been out since 2005. I’m 29.

10 minutes of longevity on the skin, 30 on clothes, smells odd, I won’t be buying it 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 talc-like, and perfect for warm climates. You can detect the bergamot and heliotrope. Excellent for the office. It wasn’t a beast mode, but the feeling was very pleasant. I’ll try to get hold of it again to remember those years of my life.

I recently picked up a 30ml bottle from the Lancaster era. It suits me well, though I haven’t quite nailed the ideal temperature to enjoy it. In my view, the core notes are heliotrope and tonka; the bergamot is noticeable at first but doesn’t stand out. It’s very sweet, almost talc-like, with a linear development. Clearly informal and youthful, with good longevity and moderate projection. Although I’m still searching for the perfect moment, I wouldn’t recommend it for summer; its sweetness becomes overwhelming in the heat.

For the price, it’s very good, although it doesn’t stand out in any way. In short, good value for money, it serves 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 has improved quite a bit: it’s a very good smell and lasts a long time on the skin. For the price it has, it’s very good; there are more expensive brands and this one gives them a thousand turns. The advantage is that it’s very versatile, smells good and everyone will like it. The disadvantage is that it lacks something special… with this perfume, that doesn’t happen; it’s very fresh, slightly sweet with a very appetising spice touch that makes it smell good and take it everywhere. It’s ideal for daily wear, economical and smells very well without offending anyone. I give it a 7 for scent and a 9 for value for money.

A childish scent, sweet by nature and kind for those days when you don’t know what to wear. Ideal for late afternoon/evening in spring, 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 coriander note, giving it a very pleasant special touch. The sillage and longevity are excellent. It’s not the type of scent I entirely enjoy, as I prefer sweet ones, but for a formal situation or going to the office, it’s a perfect option.
