Poundland’s £1 fragrance smells “just like” Joop Homme – but is £64 less
Social media users have been left stunned by a GBP1 Poundland perfume they say smells “just like” luxury brand Joop. The Mighty Pour Homme Eau De Toilette[1] can be purchased in a 100ml bottle and comes in smart yellow packaging. Poundland is also selling another version, titled Him Pour Homme, which comes in burgundy packaging.
The design looks similar to luxury brand Joop with its fragrance Homme[2] – which can be bought for GBP65 from The Perfume Shop. The high-end scent is made with notes of orange blossom, cinnamon and amber. The Perfume Shop writes that the Joop Homme fragrance is a “timeless statement of individuality and masculine sensuality” that “celebrates the diversity of the complex male personality”.
The luxury item promises to moisturise and soothes just-shaved skin. Facebook user Dan B Drake posted a photo of the Poundland products on popular group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK[3] and wrote: “Who has tried these they smells just like Joop & paco rabanne. Just GBP1 each in poundland.”
Other users agreed with the statement including Lisa Collingwood, who said: “Homebargains sell this kind of stuff. Smell Loads better and last all day.”

Sarah Overall pleaded: “Please let the migraine inducing days of joop be over already it’s been decades lol”. Charlotte Emily commented: “My 6 year old little boy wanted some aftershave so I brought him these there not something I would buy for an adult however my 6 year old loves the fact he’s got perfume as he calls it.”
Lou added: “These kind of sprays are perfect for everyday/ work/ on a budget. Some people haven’t got GBP120 to spend on aftershave or others want to save anything expensive for special occasions.” Suzanne went on to say: “I think they smell great”. However, other shoppers were unimpressed by the scent and claimed that it didn’t last long.
Jason admitted: “They do but smell goes straight away”. Paul Nelson shared: “They may smell like them but they will last about 5 minutes. You’d have to spray it on you constantly all night.”
Alternatively, Poundland is selling Dark Aura Fragrance[4] for one pound with shoppers saying it is similar to the luxury YSL Black Opium. B&M is also selling Gold Fortune Pour Homme Eau de Toilette[5] for GBP4. Elsewhere, shoppers can get the 40mls of Dolce & Gabbana’s Intenso Eau De Parfum for GBP35[6] – reduced from GBP53 – from The Fragrance Shop.
While, Chloe Eau De Toilette 30ml spray[7] is currently GBP44 at The Fragrance Shop.
