I still have this down as a 'dislike' on here from a brief flirtation with the idea of it a couple of summers ago. The reason I came to that conclusion was Joop Splash is a syrupy, synthetic, fruity scent which annoyed me, the way it lured me in at first just to realise it had many shortcomings. The primary one being longevity, very poor and with no depth or base notes to speak of, just a sickening and short lived, generic and ultimately cheap accord. However I have to concure with the superb review below from teadot...There's something I liked initially about this fragrance despite the fact that it's a Joop and as such can almost be dismissed off hand. On a cruder note I remember seeing a vile documentary a while back about 'Dogging' (for the uninitiated or americans that's people who meet for sex in public places, car parks, truck stops etc...) Anyway, one of the masked participants being interviewed said he swore by 'Lynx' (Axe) or 'Joop' (Homme probably?) because 'It's drives the ladies wild' I'm sorry but the kind of 'ladies' (pfffft!) we're talking about here are not exactly fussy judging by the state of the depravity and the quality of men involved and I can't say I wholly trust their judgement on fragrance. Anyway...It's that kind of sigma which makes me even more wary of Joop but nevertheless there's something so ugly about the brand that I kinda want to like at least one of their fragrances in a guilty pleasure sort of way and Splash comes the closest for me. The top notes are a strange candy/fruit kind of almost tropical vibe on a generic bed of semi aquatic 'blah' but nearly likable. The bottle is brilliant as well to be fair giving me hope that one day Joop might actually make a half way decent fragrance.
