I Want Choo Le Parfum

Oh my gosh! I love this! It's beautiful in my opinion 😌It's absolutely blended to perfection ❤️ This just exudes feminity. You know how some gardenia based fragrances can be headache inducing, nauseating or suffocating? This is not that! If you like a young, fruity, sweet style of Gardenia fragrance, than this is for you! There is a powdery quality but it's not like baby powder, it's a sweet style of powder. The powder and delicate musk just softens that Gardenia. The patchouli is very minimal in my opinion. It just gives the base an extra bit of something it needs. The jasmine comes into focus more in the base as well. In my opinion, I love how there's not a single note in this fragrance that overpowers another. You never feel like the notes are competing against eachother. If anything, in my opinion, this is a Gardenia dominant however, each note compliments it beautifully. This is one of the most lovely gardenia Fragrances that I've personally EVER tried. One thing I really enjoy about this is, that this smells like a grown woman without going into "elderly" territory. But the fruity aspect still keeps it somewhat youthful. Now on to seasons and performance. Seasons this will shine is, is spring, summer and fall for sure. I can't imagine it being heavy enough to carry it through wintertime. Performance is where this fragrance lacks in my opinion. Projection is only for about 25 minutes and it becomes an intimate scent within an hour or so. This is completely gone within 5 hours max, even with over spraying. All in all, this fragrance is a 8/10.

I see a negative review that makes me want to set the record straight for anyone looking at getting this fragrance. Spoiler alert I love it but I’ll be honest I’m a niche snob so much so that when I Want Choo Le Parfum was sent to me for review I just gave a vague review without ever wearing this. I sprayed it once on a tester strip and as a niche snob I’m well aware that you can’t judge a fragrance that’s brand new by the first spray or even the first week after it’s freshly sprayed but it wasn’t on my radar to really try because I had my own obsessions I was reaching for instead. It took me watching a video where a woman was speaking about a few le parfums in the designer world not smelling like designer and more of the niche realm. I will say black opium le parfum was horrid for me I don’t agree with that one but this one being mentioned made me pull it out and actually spray it on skin after months of it sitting in the box collecting dust.. WOW this works with my skin chemistry so well for starters and it’s so so sooooo good. Cashmere and palo santo from Donna Karan is another example of the designer world really stepping it up. I’ve gone from niche snob to this being one of two designer fragrances I proudly wear and will wear year round when the mood strikes. The scent profile is everything. Fresh and musky in ways that make my eyes roll back. The pear, blackberry, and praline play so damn well together and make this delicious beyond belief.

I have had this perfume in my collection for a while and heres my honest review! I love it. To say the least this is a safe blind buy because I actually accidentally bought this as a blind buy! I initially wanted the Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Eau De Parfum (The peach one) but I had bought the travel size not realizing that it came in a red box, not a gold one. The sweetness in this perfume is very prominent. The pear note makes you think that its more sophisticated, however, I'd say this is very flirty and feminine in playful way. I've compared both the gold and red perfume and this one stand out as being sweeter and more fruity. My family LOVED this perfume. My family is particularly sensitive to fragrance, so no candles or perfume whatsoever unfortunately. But this. This was a winner. Everyone loved it. And I mean EVERYONE. Even family members who came over wanted to know what I was wearing. Overall, if you wanted something classy, Eau De Parfume (Red, Peachy bottle). If you wanted something super feminine and flirty, a lovely attention grabber, this is the one for you. However I can see this as a cloying fragrance if worn in hot weather. I especially recommend this for dates, hanging out with family or friends on a nice night out, and just genuinely smelling lovely.

I was really surprised that this is not a lot more expensive! This is such a lovely, juicy, fruity, delicious-smelling perfume. I don't get any dirtyness from the patchouli and sadly I don't pick up the praline, on me it stays a bright and yummy fruity perfume the whole way through. The projection and lasting power is brilliant and I think the bottle is cute too. Definitely could work as a 'date night' or evening perfume, but to be honest I think this is bright enough to work well in the daytime too. I would love to get a full bottle of this! The blackberry is by far the most prominent note for me and it stays tart and sweet the whole way through wearing.

On me it's a candied pear fruitchouli and slightly mossy. It smells incredible, perfect for summer nights when you don't wanna smell like glorified sunscreen haha. It's like a summery and sweet boozy cocktail made with pear juice or puree. I normally do not care for patchouli, it's usually too strong and masculine, but in here it's very wearable, and I think it's the sweetness of the pear in this. It's not a musty pear like in so many other pear fragrances, it's a sweet candied pear to my nose. These are not dupes but still definitely a must try if you love the pear in DKNY Be Extra Delicious, BBW Carried Away, KP Meow, or HL Music <3
