An hard Joint to obtain 😀
This scent is really off putting sometimes,especially in hot weather,i want to like it to the fullest but it is really hard when your stomach revolts!I love it but i don’t know when in which occasion i can use it!Salvador Dali pour homme is much more wearable than this one!Anyway it gaves me a note of wine(!!!)never experienced before in other perfumes,maybe is the same combination that is present in Kouros and Givenchy Gentleman(Civet+Honey).Anyway if you find it for a reasonable price,get it,also only for the novelty.

This is Furyo light. There’s a lot of similarities between these two. Furyo’s composition is far richer and ingredient quality is better. But Joint is more wearable. Cause Furyo is so intense that it’s hard to find the right occasion to wear it. While Joint easily can be my everyday go to scent, specially in winter time.

This stuff is awesome! A truly classic Mediterranean scent: after a lovely opening combining citrus with warm spices, Joint slowly introduces us to one of the nicest pipe tobacco notes we will encounter, which is subtle but carries through to the ambery, musky base notes.
Warm. Classy. Complex. Joint unfolds in a delightful way over quite a few hours. I have two 50ml bottles of the After-Shave, and neither present the animalic basenote (civet, apparently) that is listed above and commented on below. Perhaps the EdT version is slightly different? Regardless, this is an excellent fragrance, and I am hunting around online for the EdT. I would love to be able to pick up enough so that I can add Roccobarocco Joint to my regular rotation instead of saving my current limited supply for special occasions as I do now.
As I continue my journey into the world of fragrances it seems that I am drawn to some of the classics of the 80’s such as Moschino pour Homme, Gianfranco Ferre, Francesco Smalto, Enrico Coveri and Bogart. Despite being a product of the early 90’s Roccobarocco Joint is the latest to join these favorites. I am very glad to have stumbled across it. I give it a strong recommendation.

This is a deceptive fragrance. I agree that it is something a fan of older classical masculines from the seventies and eighties should seek out, because it has a powerful presence, and is loaded with deep, rich, brown notes of patchouli, orris, tobacco, rosewood, and tonka, with a masterful treatment of lavender and Sicilian lemon. The labdanum is obvious but it’s not really the star of the show, and I don’t consider the scent a chypre, but more of a fougeriental, in fact a direct clone of Zino by Davidoff, except arguably better. For the first forty-five minutes of wear the fragrance is very crisp, legible, deep, and dry, and seems like Holy Grail material thanks to those little accents of natural civet and somewhat skanky honey.
The deception arrives in the drydown. Once you get past forty-five minutes, the headiness of all the woods, tobacco, herbs, and spices tapers off dramatically, leaving a surprisingly spare base of honey, tonka, a shadow of patchouli, and a vanillic white musk. Two hours after application, and it literally smells like I sprayed something from the Jovan line on my skin. What happened to all the rich aromatics? I have a theory: Joint is the most top-heavy perfume ever made, and once the carnival of explosively dense top notes simmer off, it becomes obvious that it was all grafted on a simplistic base of amber and synthetic musk. Furthering the problem is the fact that this has been out of production for twenty years, and my bottle is likely a bit stale and out of balance, an unavoidable aspect of dealing with vintage scents.
I purchased this in the 1.7 oz bottle for $33 from Villa Fleur in Hamden, CT, my home state. You can find a 1 oz bottle on Ebay now for $29.99. That’s a fair price range for the size range here. Of course once you look at the 3.3 oz bottles the prices get into fantasy land. If you see it for under $40 in this size and you enjoy Zino, Kouros, and Balenciaga PH, I recommend getting it. If you can’t find it in stores for that price or you’re left with insane Ebay prices, skip Roccobarocco’s scent and just get Zino by Davidoff. Although Zino lacks the hints of civet and honey, I think it’s a bit better in terms of smoothness and balance, plus it’s much cheaper. Joint is a nice one, but the drydown is genuinely disappointing and adversely effected by age.Update 10/7/15:
I definitely see the comparison to Bogart’s Furyo, but having an old bottle of that one makes it easy to smell the differences. Furyo is far richer from top to base, and is made of significantly higher quality aroma chemicals. The incense note in Joint is mild and flat; Furyo’s incense is rich and dimensional. Civet is certainly present in both; Furyo’s civet note alone endures for hours. The lavender is bolder in Joint, and the burnished woods are mated more closely to it, while Furyo is muskier and smokier, less herbal, less like a fougere. Between the two, Furyo is the way to go IMO.

one very strong fragrance, got a small bottle of this because I was curious. I was disappointed I did not enjoy this scent. it is one of those scents while I can appreciate it I just could not see a time where I could wear this. I sprayed some on and my wife did not care for it. it was just too strong and distinctive. unappealing to her and I have to say unappealing to me. a one spray only fragrance. just not my cup of tea. maybe I need to give it more time to appreciate, or perhaps my bottle has gone stale or bad?

This is another “power fragrance” that is a bit late to the party. However, that is often good in the fragrance hobby because it means that the “mistakes” of older, similar ones have been “fixed.” Here we have a Kouros-like fragrance that is much less animalic and overbearing, though the youngsters still might find it too “old.” The tobacco note is clearly present, though not dominant. I think there is some patchouli in here too, though not listed. It’s thick/dense, but has good note separation (the dry woody/tobacco element seems to “cut” the Kouros-like one, balancing it perfectly). And as you might expect, it’s strong and long-lasting. Think of 30% Kouros, 30% Givenchy Gentleman, and 40% of other strong fragrances of that period (a dash of Paco Rabannae Pour Homme, a pinch of Oscar Pour Lui, a dollop of Chaps, etc.). This is more for a cigarette smoker than a smoker of anything else, I’d guess (so the name may mislead some people). It’s a little sweet but nothing like Santos sweetness, and it’s a little dry, again relative to similar fragrances. The depth this one possesses is excellent, perhaps the best I’ve ever encountered, but if you don’t like camphorous qualities I don’t think you will enjoy this one. It’s one of the greats of this type, for sure, in terms of being able to keep the powerful notes balanced, dynamic, and separate. One spray a few inches above the navel lasted many hours for me, with good projection (“sillage”).
NOTE: I disagree with one of the reviews above. This is not like Zino, which has strong lavender (I’m not sure I detected any lavender in Joint), and is overall more floral. On the other hand, Joint has more noticeable and drier woods with tobacco.
