Question:
hmm I'll go back to the mall and try those ones out. Does anyone like that smell, anyway? Because at first I thought it was a girl wearing it...but nevertheless, I loved it.

Answer:
I really don't think it's Gaultier2, based on the description. On me, the grape bubblegum note is only in the first blast & disappears fairly quickly once on the skin. Once dried down it's like a sweet musk, but it's not candy-like at all.

Answer:
Joop Homme is very cotton candyish . . . although there are some other nice notes waiting to be discovered.
The first time I smelled Joop I was wondering who on earth would want to smell like cotton candy. Then I smelled it again a bit later and actually warmed to some of the other interesting notes there - so I bought a bottle.
It's probably best reserved for special occasions, though - otherwise it gets a bit much. My bottle ran out a while back and I haven't felt any pressing need to replace it, although I may, someday.
It's also one of the few fragrances that I've been complimented on (the others being Oscar, Havana and Envy).

The first time I smelled Joop I was wondering who on earth would want to smell like cotton candy. I bet that is what it was. I totally forgot about Joop! Probably because my bottle is buried in a box thats in my closet and i havn't worn it in at least 5 or 6 years. Actually, i don't think i ever gave it a full (just put a spray on the wrist) wearing. Maybe i should dig it out and give it another try...?

It's definitely not for everyday usage, though! It needs the right mood . . . It also reminds me of a certain children's mix cooldrink at times, which can be a little, err, disconcerting.

Answer:
If you really wanted to know, why didn't you just ask him? Simple, no?

Answer:
Gaultier² or Blue Sugar ( pure cotton candy )

Answer:
Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin possibly?

Answer:
From your initial description, I too think it is Joop and it can be smelled from literally 50 feet away.
