Amazon slashes ‘timeless’ aftershave to £30 for Father’s Day

With Father’s Day rapidly approaching on June 21, families searching for the perfect gift need look no further than Amazon, which is currently offering a deal on a ‘nostalgic’ aftershave. The Joop! Homme Eau de Toilette for Men is now available for just £30, reduced from £69, undercutting both Superdrug (£34.50) and Boots (£38).

This price applies to a 125ml bottle, though a 75ml option is also available at £22.50. The fragrance opens with notes of bergamot, cinnamon and honey, seamlessly blended with a citrusy lift that delivers a refreshing hint of freshness.

This is a wonderfully complex scent, with deeper undertones of smoky tobacco contrasting beautifully against the delicate touch of orange blossom petals. A classic combination of patchouli, tonka bean and amber then brings everything together as the base note.

Described as a ‘mix of masculine scents and spice’, this fragrance was first launched in 1989 and has remained a firm favourite ever since. For optimum results, the brand advises customers to lightly spritz it onto pulse points: wrists, chest and biceps.

For those wishing to splash out a little further, Sephora is stocking the Chanel Blue De Chanel Eau De Toilette Spray at £63.20, reduced from £80. This 50ml bottle boasts an aromatic woody scent with a ‘captivating trail’.

Boots currently has a significant reduction on another well-loved scent: the Versace The Dreamer Eau De Toilette Spray 100ml is now priced at £25, reduced from £78. Opening with a ‘smooth blend’ of wild and aromatic plants such as juniper, mugwort and tarragon, it boasts ‘sensual heart notes’ of lily and aerial flower, reports the Mirror.

The Joop! Homme Eau de Toilette for Men has earned an impressive 4.7-star rating from more than 56,000 reviews on Amazon. One five-star reviewer wrote: “Lasts ages, nostalgic smell. Great price.”

A further customer commented: “Bought for my other half. What a gorgeous aroma to this aftershave. He always smells gorgeous now. It has a woody fragrance and slight orange blossom smell to it both blend well together.”

A third shopper noted: “I recently tried this and I’m absolutely enchanted. I highly recommend it. It’s truly a standout.”

Fragrances will inevitably suit some wearers more than others, and a number of buyers deducted a star. One such customer remarked: “Joop is a timeless scent that has stood the test of time and still used a lot to this day.

“That said, I don’t think it’s a fragrance that suits me or suits a man over about 35. It’s a nightclub scent.”

Another noted: “Lovely smell but was overly priced for how old this aftershave is. I wish I had shopped around to buy.”
