His high-end collection, Wunderkind, is now going into its 14th year. While he noted Wunderkind “has a bigger crowd now…the sad fact is that a lot of the women who love it, especially younger women, can’t afford it at full price. We will keep Wunderkind as couture,” he continued, “but with Looks we can now also inspire and feed the larger market.” The perfume license is soon (1991) bought by the Lancaster Group, which will become part of Coty in 1996. As they say, all paths lead brands to Coty or Procter & Gamble. Since then, JOOP! is marketed by Coty, as well as the new perfume project Wolfgang Joop (2008). The designer himself has had nothing to do with his name since 2001. After getting his Abitur in 1964 at the Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Braunschweig, Joop began studies in advertising-psychology in 1966 at the Braunschweig University of Technology, which he did not finish.

Fashion expert Roetzel agrees that such symbolism may be well-intended. "But a white shirt doesn't look good on everyone.

DESIGN

Namely, a creamy shade reminiscent of fresh fig fragrances of the 21st century, for example, one of my favorite Pierre Guillaume fragrances, Bois Naufrage 16.1. And also a light but persistent ambergris note with a woody accord in the base. Unlike the bright and eye-catching JOOP! Homme or the more cosmetic but still sweet Bois Naufrage fragrance, My Looks Man seems gray and pale. After the initial splash of citrus, it tries to merge with the average urban freshness, to remain pleasantly invisible, without standing out in the crowd, on transport, in the office. But Lönneker believes that politicians today strive for the more inconspicuous attire in an attempt to appeal to the general public. "Therefore we will hardly see any style-icons stand out in the new government." This is a fragrance that in many ways is diametrically opposed to the designer's first men's fragrance, JOOP! Homme.

Joop began his career in 1970, when he took part to a competition by German women's magazine Constanze [ de] with his then-wife Karin Benatzky [4] and they were awarded all three first prizes. [5] This success landed him a job as fashion editor at the Hamburg-based women's magazine Neue Mode in 1970, [4] from which he resigned in 1971 to continue working independently, including as a freelance journalist and designer. [1] During his election campaign, Olaf Scholz was often asked whether he'd start wearing a tie if he were to become chancellor. His response was always noncommittal: "I'll be wearing a tie most of the time — but not always," he said. Joop has written several books, including the gift book Das kleine Herz (2001), the cookbook Hectic Cuisine (2002), the autobiography Stillstand des Flüchtigen (2002), the novel Im Wolfspelz (2003), and Wolfgang Joop, Wunderkind: 14467 Potsdam, published by Rolf Heyne Collection (2009). His second autobiography Undressed. Aus einem Leben mit mir (2013) was written in collaboration with journalist and author Rebecca Casati. [17] He also authored numerous articles for publications such as Der Spiegel, Stern, and Welt am Sonntag.

The opening is rich and bright, made of invigorating notes of ginger, pink pepper, orange, and pear. The heart of the fragrance reveals its flowery side, combining orange blossom, rose, patchouli, and upcycled jasmine — a particularly long-lasting fragrance in this composition, settled on a warm blend of praline, vanilla, musk, and amber.
