Joop!
A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Tomato leaf's savoury bite cuts through immediately, backed by blackcurrant's dark tartness and a bright grapefruit that snaps against your skin like citric acid. The mint surfaces as a peripheral cool, sharpening the green fruits into something almost vegetal.
The herbal florals—geranium and lavender—emerge softly, cushioned by sandalwood's creamy wood, whilst cedarwood adds a dry, almost pencil-shaving character. The fragrance becomes less bright and more architecturally interesting, the spice accord threading through like black pepper through cream.
Oakmoss and vetiver ground the vanilla, preventing it from becoming soft or sugary; instead, you're left with a faintly smoky, earthy hum that feels like drying herbs and damp woodland floor.
What About Adam is a fragrance that arrives as a jolt of verdant freshness—the olfactory equivalent of snapping a tomato vine between your fingers on a summer morning. Calice Becker has crafted something defiantly green and tart, where blackcurrant's dark berry tang plays against a grapefruit that's almost aggressively juicy, supported by a whisper of mint that tingles rather than cools. This is no soft, floral unisex; it's assertively herbal, with the tomato leaf accord providing an earthy, slightly peppery undertone that prevents the citrus from becoming merely citrusy.
The real artistry emerges in the heart, where cedarwood and sandalwood create a woody scaffold beneath the geranium and lavender—an almost dusty, green floral that feels herbaceous rather than perfumey. The spice accord (64%) isn't loud but persistent, a peppery current that keeps the fragrance from settling into sweetness. Even as vanilla and oakmoss emerge in the base, there's no sugary comfort here; instead, the vetiver adds a grassy, slightly smoky undertone that anchors everything in nature rather than confection.
