I Want Choo Forever

I'm wearing this right now! I tried both this and the original "I Want Choo" in a store today, and this one worked much better with my skin chemistry. I don't have any other cherry or almond fragrances, so it's very unique in my collection. I can see why others say it's a rather synthetic cherry. It seems that way at first, especially if you smell it on a test strip. However, it dries down on the skin nicely and smells great from a distance! The opening is cherry-heavy with a bit of spice (maybe the pink peppercorn?? something almost marine-like?), softened by a bit of rose. I can also smell a bit of almond. I don't detect vanilla at first. The silage is highest during the first few minutes as it dries. After it has dried down for a while, it's a light, powdery, almond-vanilla scent with a bit of cherry juice. It's feminine and pretty and almost creamy on my skin! I really love how it smells at this stage. It's so comforting, like a big, soft, warm sweater your friend let you borrow on a cold day. It's like an airy vanilla cake with whipped cream, cherry sauce, and thinly sliced almonds. I know some people think it's generic or mass-appealing, but it's really unique to my collection, and it's so pretty and comforting!! I love it. Edit: I know lots of people like the bottle, but the more I see it and use it, the more I don't like it. It isn't my style, doesn't look good with my other fragrances, and it's hard to spray because of how you have to hold it and how big the sprayer is (it's huuuge). That's my only complaint!

This is my second fragrance from the I Want Choo collection (I have the gold Le Parfum, one of my all-time favorites). I Want Choo Forever smells just as great, but it’s not as fruity as I expected from the cherry note. I get a lot of bitter almond and jasmine—it’s not too sweet. The cherry blends seamlessly with the almond, almost like maraschino cherries (which are dyed red and packed in syrup flavored with bitter almond oil). It’s like the liquid from a jar of maraschino cherries, but reduced. The vetiver and almond give it a nutty woodiness, which I love. In the dry down, I get a lot of tonka and amber, adding warmth without being overly sweet. Overall, it’s like maraschino cherry syrup deepened by florals (jasmine/rose) and warm base notes. Some say it’s a night perfume for colder weather, and I can see that, but to me, it’s a perfect sunset scent—like eating a sundae with a cherry on top, surrounded by blooming flowers as the air cools. But it’s not *that* deep or syrupy, so it works for daytime too. The sillage is decent—noticeable from an arm’s length but not overpowering. It lasts about 5–6 hours on me, with the sillage fading over time, though the tonka-amber scent still lingers up close. While Le Parfum is still my favorite from the I Want Choo collection, Forever is different in its own pleasant way.

I'm glad I asked for 60ml of I Want Choo Forever for Christmas, because it's my favorite of the I Want Choo fragrances followed by the gold bottle. It was a blind wish, because I loved the fragrance on a classmate I hate, lol! It's a soft, rounded fragrance that is both fresh and sweet. IWCF was stronger, heavier and sweeter on her than it is on me. The base and the vetiver is everything I love in a fragrance, and I'm surprised the cherry is develops on my skin, because I couldn't smell that note on my classmate. I've been wanting a fragrance with a cherry note in it for a while, but without a terribly synthetic cherry. This cherry smells like the quality cherry sauce we Danes pour over our risalamande for dessert, Christmas Eve. I'm sorry the cherry comes out very synthetic on others. I love IWCF on me, but I wouldn't consider it a safe blind buy for a present. This is going to be an occasion fragrance for me, so my bottle will probably last quite a while, but I also see this as a repurchase as long as it's in production. My classmate wore it every day while we were at the same trade school. For graduation sure, but not 5 days a week, right from the morning.

Have you ever been seduced by a perfume? I have and it was the first time that I ever smelled this fragrance. I work in a retail setting and there is a small collection of fragrances at the store that I work at. One day, a customer had come in and had wanted to smell some of the perfumes. My friend/coworker had applied a bunch of the perfumes on to the perfume test strips we had. The customer left and the test strips were just left around the registar area. I smelled a bunch of the strips but there was one in particular that I could not stop thinking about. I showed it another one of my coworkers and she felt the same. There was something about this particular fragrance. The other fragrances were unimpressive but this was luring us in. I eventually asked my friend which fragrance was on the test strip and she pointed out that it was this one. Since then, I have not been able to shut up about this fragrance. I am so happy that my sister is buying me this fragrance for my birthday. This is pure temptation in a perfume bottle.

When I first sprayed this randomly in the air I didn't capture anything immediately enticing...until I gave the perfume 100% of my undivided attention. And that's exactly what you need to give this fine, mysterious perfume... time... sprayed on my skin, nothing happened... until 45 minutes later... I couldn't keep my nose away, it's alluring and intoxicating but in a subtle way, that's why it's intriguing...! Once an hour has passed you'll get the rose peeking through... it's the total opposite of what you think is going to unfold. It's a great perfume to sit with on your own and really get into its identity. On a wool jumper it will sit there for days, in a way you want it to... on your skin, it lasts at least 12 hours or until you wash, it's like perfumes used to be before they were reformulated. Did you want to love Givenchy L'Interdit Intense but don't quite "get it"? I think I Want Choo Forever will be up your street - it's very pretty darkness in a bottle...that literally does live up to its "forever".... 😘

Beautiful. Purchased the 1.4oz size for my bridal scent. Only thing I don’t like is the spray nozzle, it doesn’t feel as luxurious when you spray it as some high end bottles do, but I think the elegance of the black ombré and gold metallic makes up for it a bit. It is very sultry without being overly fruity. My signature cocktail at my wedding is a Pink Lady topped with a luxardo cherry. It instantly reminds me of my drink, it has a juicy cherry touch without being a dark cherry or medicinal. It makes me feel super sexy and lasts. Wears down a bit powdery for me - possible the oak moss - which I like because it brings a unique freshness that brightens everything up rather than leaning into the “fruity” aspect. Some may find that powdery scent a bit “elderly”, however I encourage you to spritz on yourself and let it settle to see how you like it. An approachable gourmand that I find lovely to last for a special evening.

It smells like a sweet, cherry cupcake upon spraying. The cupcake coming from the almond and vanilla notes. After about 2hours the rose note comes out and it leans away from a gourmand... Which distinguishes this perfume from hypnotic poison EDP (my all time favourite perfume) as the openings are almost identical. After that 2hours the smell is a linear rosey vanilla but not in an ‘old lady’ type of way. This lasts up to 7hours on my skin which makes this a beast mode for me (even longer on my hair and clothes 😭) The projection is great too the first time I wore this people complimented me and noticed I was wearing a ‘new perfume’. It’s definitely one that stands out from the crowd! I almost blind bought this but hesitated due to the rose note which I wasn’t used to. I smelt it in store and loved it. Id personally say if you like cherry and vanilla - you will like this and it’s a safe blind buy!

I just tested this one and I was completely besotted! I'm not into vanilla but this one was beautifully balanced with cherry and spices. I keep sniffing my hand and I think this could be cherry flavoured baby sister of BDK Wood Jasmine. It's not like they are similar in notes, but they both have this fresh autumn jam feel. This one is lighter and more all-year-round 20-something girl that, despite her innocence, has a firm grip on her lifeand everything under control. Very mature for her age. Perhaps because she's looking up to her BDK older 35+ sister. Not copying her at all, just getting inspiration and learning her ways. I think I want them both now, JC for light-hearted mischievous days when I still want the job done, BDK WJ when I won't hesitate to play you sweet dirty to get my way.

I love original YSL Black Opium so of course I love this perfume! They are both different but to me they are cousins. At first spray is cherry and almond, I didn't smell any rose. The cherry almond lingers through the opening and dries down and the amber slowly peeks through while settling into a soft vanilla, light Tonka bean and cherry almond! I love having it in my collection! Fragrance is subjective and smells different on everyone! I personally spray onto my skin and my pulse points to really enjoy my fragrances! I enjoy all fragrances from fresh to gourmand to sweet florals and citrus scents to reflect my moods. With that said go smell it at a Fragrance counter or sephora and decide on your own. 8/10

Between the original I Want Choo and this, I gravitate towards this more, due to the sour cherry note, giving this version that extra sweet kick, I craved from the OG. I’ll say that this and I Want Choo are unique and deliciously blended; they’re even a little cheaper than most designer fragrances, which is great. I Want Choo Forever is a perfect “flanker” because yes, disregarding the notes listed above which may throw anyone off, it smells exactly like the OG! The cherry note and tonka bean are there, and I think balance out that very heavy powdery note, that I didn’t like in the OG. Overall, this is a gorgeously, underrated cherry perfume, and I will definitely repurchase this in the future!

I have literally all jimmy choo’s perfumes. They are so good to me, not borring at all and with very good plume and longevity. Speaking about this one perfume, I love this scent very much. I like almond note in it. This perfume has very interesting scent, absolutely not borring neither to me not to people around me. Absolutely stunning. It is an exceptional fragrance that has truly captivated me. Its exquisite blend of notes creates a sophisticated and alluring scent that lasts all day. Also this perfume is perfect for any occasion, making me feel elegant and confident. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable fragrance experience.

This was love at first sniff. I tried to leave the store to think about it. I actually had multiple fragrances to think about. After I started to pull away, I paused, shut off the car and went back in to purchase this. And I doused myself with the floor bottle before leaving. 😊. I also have a back up bottle. This is creamy, slight (perfect) powdery and it hugs me all day. This is the perfect cherry for me- better than TOM FORD, ELAN NOIR, DUCHESSA & some others I own. It has weight! I wear this not in the daytime humid summer heat but I have grabbed for it on a not so humid summer night. A sales rep told me that she also sales this to men.

I Want Choo Forever is very similar to its predecessor. The opening has a rather boozy opening like Rihanna’s Reb’l Fleur but you can definitely tell the difference between the two. There’s also something about this fragrance that reminds me of Jennifer Lopez’s “Glow After Dark.” They don’t necessarily smell alike but they give off a similar vibe. I Want Choo Forever has this very distinguishable cherry note that really sticks out. I don’t know if my skin loves cherry notes or not but I always smell them strongly whenever they’re in fragrances that I wear. This one has good silage and projection and can honestly be worn in any season.

opens with a sweet nutty almond and cherry liqueur with a mild floral note coming from the rose. The vetiver and jasmine are a smooth and woody segway to the dry down which is a creamy and sweet tonka bean with earthy oakmoss. The vanilla here is sweet and light with an earthy roundness to it from the other notes. I know a lot of ppl were probably expecting more cherry from this but the top and middle notes are short lived and the dry down happens fairly early on and stays like that for hours later, which is why I enjoy this! This scent is simple, sweet, creamy, and date night worthy. One of my favorite designer scents

This is the holy grail of vanilla/almond/cherry perfumes. I get so many compliments when I wear this, it’s kind of incredible. It is sweet and mature, the cherry is not synthetic. It smells like an adult version of Jergen’s Cherry Almond lotion? It has a moderate sillage, in that people around me can smell it but it does not overwhelm anyone. The lasting power is moderate, I usually have to respray after about 4-5 hours. I’ll have this perfume on my shelf for as long as they make it. It’s a little heavy for summer, but it’s a home run for fall, winter, and spring. My only complaint is that the bottle is so tacky lol

Everytime I’m going somewhere fancy or to the city I’m wearing this and every-time I smell it, it brings me back into that moment, I’m up to my second bottle of this and it’s about to finish I need to restock asap, my partner goes crazy when I wear this, this is my 4th fav perfume out of the 64 perfumes that I have, this has to be the best flanker out of the whole line, they ate the Tf up with this one, it’s giving sexy, the girl that knows what she’s doing, elegant, expensive 1000/10 perfection at its finest 😚🤏🏽

I Want Choo Forever was a standout during my latest sniffing spree at Ulta today. Jimmy Choo frags are usually pretty ‘meh’, in my opinion. Safe and pleasant enough but nothing special. However, the ombré bottle was appealing so I felt like I should stop and sample. The rose and cherry isn’t a combination I’ve encountered. Warmed by the vanilla and tonka, the rose and cherry is really femme and beautiful here; perfect date night scent. Finally, a cherry that doesn’t get medicinal on me!

Delicious. The almond note is prominent and though I typically stay away from that note, it’s executed beautifully here. This fragrance walks the fine line between dessert and perfume. The cherries are dark and candied, not the typical medicinal cherry you encounter in perfumes. You mostly get almond, cherries and vanilla. There’s a dark essence to this scent. It reminds me of Serena from gossip girl lol If you enjoy black opium this will (probably) scratch that itch.

This is a very strong, sweet, fun, night out perfume IMO. Not for formal serious events nor office safe. The opening reminds me of a mix between CH Good Girl + Good Girl Glam. Strong cherry, radiates well. I am an oversprayer but I avoid doing it with this cause I don't need it and it can knock someone out. It is strong enough that I get whiffs of it hours after application. Better suited for colder days. Excellent value. I got a 40ml bottle for 33€. Love it!

So I tested this on one arm and Very Good Girl Glam on the other and I like this one alot more. This one is sweeter, more rounded and more interesting. Very Good Girl Glam was too sour and bitter on my skin. It reminds me alot of Good Girl Supreme :) Drydown smells almost like Burberry Her. The lastingpower is amazing, it lasted almost 10 hours on me. Really nice fruity/vanilla scent that is not too heavy :) Going to wear it alot this fall and winter :)
