The reviews here, I find pretty accurate.
If you’ve smelled Green Irish Tweed / Coty Aspen then you already know what this smells like. The only real difference is the price. This is dirt cheap but performs as well as the previously mentioned scents and honestly, on a blind test I’d be pushed to notice much between them. GIT always comes out on top with these comparisons as it has that added extra and changes slightly throughout its life on your skin. It’s the best for sure.
As much as Aspen and Armaf Tres Nuits mimic the scent well, they both smell a bit harsher but Caribeean Joe is smoother than both of those and sweeter on the dry down. If you’re into that fresh green smell then you should definitely pick this up and save a bundle of cash. I’ve tried and own all of the above and they all have that same ‘fly spray’ opening but I’d put CJ as a close second out of the four.

Get this online while you still can. There’s a new version available on stores with a transparent/blue bottle that looks a lot like the Nautica “sail” bottle shape. It is NOT the same stuff. Not unpleasant, but the older version as pictured here is worth every penny of the $9 it will cost you 🙂

Oo La La….an aqua mix of light spice and citrus that is very nice. Do not let the price fool you because as you can see in these reviews you will see alot of comaparisons to Cool Water. I can see some common notes but my nose points more to a Tommy Bahama scent but that my friends is a good thing.
It is a vacation in a bottle with some palm trees and beaches in the background. I envison my self chillin on the beach when suddenly a group of natives come charging at me with bow and arrows pointing at me. After they take a closer look and smell my scent they smile and invite me back to thier village for some cooked pork and mojitos for dinner. That is the power of Caribbean Joe after I am trippin balls. Oh the scent is good!

Caribbean Joe = 80% GIT = 85% Cool Water/Aspen = Eau de 90’s
Same basic fresh, green-forward scent as the lot, same lack of sillage/longevity. But at least this one smells great and goes for a dirt cheap price.
Shockingly, I find Caribbean Joe to be almost a dead ringer for GIT’s opening, minus some of that bitter greenish aspect – in spite of the obvious differences in listed notes. Main difference to me is that all the clones (CJ included) end up a pretty linear representation of their top and mid notes, whereas GIT does treat you to a nice violet leaf-sandalwood accord at it unfolds. And let’s be honest, it’s pretty darn nice, price considerations aside.
Caribbean Joe lasts about as long on my skin as GIT or the others – which sadly isn’t all that long. But at $8 a bottle, who cares?
Rather than seeing CJ as a replacement for GIT (it isn’t), I think it works more as a “stunt double” of sorts, for when you’re just chillin’ and want to save the good stuff for later.

What a steal this fragrance is as I purchased this for only $7 ( including shipping on eBay)
To describe this scent I’d say this a very fresh, smooth,green out of the shower scent that has a slight aquatic touch in the opening and heart and a nice little boozy touch in the base from the rum. I wasn’t much expecting much because of this but this stuff is great!
Now on to the big question of whether this smells like Cool Water and GIT. The answer is yes !!! In the opening this bares strong similarities to both but once this dries down it goes more into the direction of Cool Water. When I first smelled this I immediately thought this was a more smooth,slightly more sweet version of Cool Water and the way the greenness and slight sweetness came off I thought this fragrance had green apple but I guess the extra greenness came from the pine and/or seaweed.
Performance on this is both good and bad. It lasts 4-8 hours (yes it has sketchy performance) but only really projects for 45 minutes before it just turns into slightly more than a skin scent. I do wish this had the projection that Cool Water did as if it did I’d pick this over Cool Water.
Overall rating — 7.75 out of 10 ! A great out of the shower scent that smells amazing and just based on scent compared to GIT, Tres Nuit, Cool Water and Aspen I’d say just based on scent this would be my second favorite scent out of the bunch.
Also because of the price of this this this would be a great gift for anyone and especially teenagers as this is a very hard fragrance to overspray.

I was looking for a aftershave balm ( I have a habit of finding the best for the price/quality, at least to me) and this CJ came up with a 30 ml edt to the price of 5 £. So I had to try this out. Anyway I could always give the edt away.
This was a 100 % blind buy because of the aftershave try out.
I sprayed once on my upper hand and Within sec to my pleasant surprise I could smell something absolutely Gourgous. At first I was stunned and looked at the bamboo bottle. Was this GIT? For a moment it had the smell of GIT or some Cool Water’ish. It’s now been 2 hours and the smell has toned down I would say to something more musky. It’s a great scent and for the price. It doesn’t hold the wounderous first impressions, but it’s still an ok casual scent. Just bring, a sprayer if it fades.

For the price, this is really a nice and uplifting scent. Sure it smells a lot like a powdery and mellowed down version of Cool Water, but what’s wrong with that?Perfect for daytime and office wear, spring and summer and for sporting. For this price you can apply is generous, sillage and longetivity are also excellent. I have a bottle the whole year around, and don’t ever want to be without, for those days or moments I want to refresh and smell nice without too much effort. The funny thing is I get compliments on this many times, which I normally don’t get with higher end colognes. So try it if you get the chance, or blind buy this: for this amount of money you really can’t go wrong!

Picked it up at TJmaxx for 4.99 for 1.7oz smells exactly like cool water and last just as long on my skin so for the money, it was a total score. I blind bought this after reading the reviews, very good buy. Projection is moderate too heavy and lasting effect is 4-6 hours.

Not a bad fragrance. Very similar to Cool Water for sure.

This is okay for the price. It actually smells really nice, refreshing and crisp but there’s really nothing special or unique going on here. It actually has more of a somewhat manly after-bath splash vibe to it than a cologne. But if you like lime in a fragrance, try this! It’s really inexpensive and something you can throw in your bag for the gym or the beach.
Longevity isn’t so great. Neither is sillage. But hey you get what you pay for. You shouldn’t pay over 10 bucks for this though. I won’t be repurchasing unless I see it in a discount bin at Ross or something for, like, three dollars.
*Note: I’m kind of saddened that Carribean Joe didn’t put more effort into this fragrance. I haven’t tried their others but I’m assuming they’re variations of this. It’s a shame because they have a really cool name. “Carribean Joe”. They should have tried for a Virgin Island Water type number or a Tommy Bahama (the original, not those sucky “spin offs”)

I got this the other day – the bottle is amazing!
The first initial smell once sprayed was the smell of bug spray or tropical mosquito spray.
Then i could smell the mojito like crazy! but thats pretty much it for me.
It was ok for $45AUD
Smell: 5/10
long.: 6/10
bottle: 8/10

1 Feb 2015: nice, uplifting, somewhere in the middle of citrusy and aqua. non-sweet. lasts for 4-6 hours. it sits close to the skin after about 2 hours. the glass bottle is nicely crafted, taller than usual and is a collector’s item!
from the carton, it appears that the perfume was launched in 2012 by Brand Matter LLC and is made in the USA.
Update 5 March 2015: It shows close proximity to Davidoff Cool Water during the first half an hour or so.
