Jimmy Choo

Jimmy Choo Original Edp Or "Chew My Shoe" As My Hubby Call's It!! 👞👞👠👠😂 I Actually Call This My: "PULP FICTION PERFUME"!! As It Reminds Me So Much Of The Actress "Maria de Medeiros" Who Played The Raven Haired, Rather Mysterious Mia Wallace Along Side John Trovolta In The Film Pulp Fiction!! To Me This Is The Very Perfume She Would Reach For On Leaving The House With Vincent, Son Of A Preacher Man By Dusty Springfield Still Playing Out, As They Slip The Front Door Closed Behind Them, Heading Of For Dinner Together!! And Remember The Clip In The Film Where Mia Enters The Pair Of Them Into The Dance Compilation, And They Both Slip Their Shoes Off Before Hitting The Dance Floor Together, Setting The Place Alight With Their Smoldering Dance Routine!! Well This Is What This Very Perfume Conjures Up In My Mind Everytime I Reach For It/Have It On Me!! Personally I Think It's A Very Classy, And Expensive, Well Put Together Fragrance, That Ooozes Pure Eligance, And Works Extremely Well With Lets Say Expensive Clothing!! It's A Fragrance For A Strikingly Beautiful Girl/Woman Who Knows Exactly What Her Main Aim In Life Is, And Where's She's Going!! Although I Would Honestly Say That Any Head Strong, Classy, Well Dressed Guy Could Also Carry This Off With Ease!! I Think That Jimmy Choo Knew Exactly The Kind Of Audience This Fragrance Would Appeal To When He Sat At The Drawing Board In The Early Stages Of It's Design!! And By Using Only The BEST AND MOST EXPENSIVE INGREDIENTS He Surely Does Have A Real Winner On His Hands!! The Lasting Power In This Fragrance Is Tremendous, Again That's Down To The Quality Of Ingredients Used And The Way That Everything Is So Well Blended Together!! Even The Very Bottle It Arrives In Is Just Stunning!! On My Skin It Opens Up With Fresh Green Notes, Followed By Pear, I Don't Get Any Of The Mandarin Orange Note On My Skin!! I Do However Get A Strong Orchid/Tropical Flower Aroma, Set On A Smokey Musky Patchouli Base!! And As For The Toffee Note, Yes I Can Smell It, And Yes It's There, But It's So Mild That You Really Do Have To Kind Of Search For It, By Putting Your Nose Very Close To Your Skin To Find It!! I Feel That This Fragrance Is More Suited To Evening Wear/Use, And Highly Recommend It For: Springtime/Autumn/Winter, As It Would Be Far To Heavy A Fragrance For Use In Warm Summertime Weather!! All In All I Really Do Love This Original Edp By Mr Jimmy Choo!! And Would Rate It 9/10 Over All. A Well Done Classic Indeed!!!!

In the archives of Iconic scent-memories, few fragrances capture the Sublime Frequency of a Filipino December like Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum. While the world sees a London fashion house, its DNA recognizes a Whimsical Elegy to the longest and most radiant Christmas in the world. This is not just a perfume; it is an opalescent surge that bridges the gap between the modern icon and the nostalgic warmth of the Paskong Pinoy. The Simbang Gabi Ascent The opening is a radiant awakening of crisp, lush green notes that defy the tropical heat. To the refined epicenter, this is the exhilarating scent of a fresh Baguio pine tree brought down to the lowlands—sharp, resinous, and full of Luminous Inevitability. It cuts through the Odoriferous Noise of the humid Manila air like the first cool breeze of a December morning, signaling that the season of Absolute Radiance has officially begun. The Noche Buena Symphony As the fragrance settles, it reveals its most gilded secret: a heart of exotic tiger orchid that melts into a molten infusion of deep, buttery toffee. This is the olfactory DNA of a Filipino kitchen at midnight—the caramelized sweetness of Leche Flan, the rich and decadent warmth of a freshly stirred Latik. It is a velveteen symphony of sugar and heritage, providing a sophistication that feels as comforting as a family gathering under the glow of a Parol. The Final Flourish: The Infinite Lantern The dry-down is an aura of distinction powered by earthy Indonesian patchouli, grounding the sweetness with a weightless authority. It is the scent of the wooden pews during the dawn mass and the lingering smoke of a celebratory fire. This couture equilibrium ensures that your presence is felt as a sublime frequency of generosity and joy, long after the last carol has been sung. Nostalgic. Decadent. Iconized.

Due to the many raves online and in the below reviews I decided to buy the smallest 1 fl oz bottle unsniffed from online for a reasonable price. It appeared that many different fragrance lovers with wildly divergent tastes and budgets seemed to really love this particular fragrance. I expected a Flowerbomb or Juicy Couture fruitchouli. But I was surprised,intrigued, and somewhat repelled by my first impression as it smell nothing like I expected. The juicy pear was the first note that was recognizable then the mandarin comes in and makes the pear almost too sharp but the toffee notes hold back the sharpness and then the crazy, super earthy, slightly minty, grassy, patchouli comes in and it's intimidating and challenging. The way the perfumer just boldly displays this patchouli is really what sets it apart from the other fruitchoulis which generally strive to be smoother, sweeter and less variant in expression as people who generally prefer fruitchoulis tend not to love earthy and greenish notes. Though I was somewhat jarred by this it at first, I was compelled to keep using it to figure this scent out, until I just started to flat out love it and crave it after four or five times. Another special thing is the toffee notes blend in so well with the fruit that it manages to give off a toffee-like warmth but not the actual candylike fragrance. This may actually be the reason why I crave it. Very well done and unique.

Wow! Awhile ago I sniffed an ad/sample in a magazine for this perfume. My husband must have recalled that. This past week has been AWFUL. My sister attempted suicide. I have horrible allergies and a gum infection (gross, I know...just trying to keep it real) and just about everything that could go wrong has. Those sort of weeks...On Thursday, it was HIS birthday. I dropped his cake, and dinner was a disaster. I was in tears. He handed me a card with a sweet note saying he had wanted to cheer me up and then he printed a photo of this perfume out on the computer and it said it was being mailed out and on delivery. I received it today. Of course I was ecstatic, but more than that I was reminded that even when things go terribly wrong, I am so blessed with a wonderful man in my life. This scent is amazing! It is warm and one of the most sensual scents I own. I think it stays quite close to the skin, but definitely would not be classified in my book as a "skin scent". It is much more powerful than that. Like his shoes, Choo knows how to rev up the sexy. This scent is full of heat. If you can't afford this, I think a similar and lovely stand in would be Elizabeth Taylor's Black Pearls. I wore that for years and I find them to be very similar. Cheers to all the good husbands out there. You’re amazing. xx

For some reason I can’t smell the patchouli at all thank god, this is the purest cutest sweetest cotton candy smell ever, even more so than pink sugar and body fantasies cotton candy. I know lots of people think of this as a super sexy clubbing/nighttime fragrance but this reminds me so so much of being a little girl, it makes my heart so happy. I didn’t really have a very good childhood but one memory I have is when I went on vacation to Gettysburg and my mother let me go into the store by myself and I bought a blue raspberry hello kitty candy lipstick and it smelled just like this. I was about 4 years old and I kept it in my vanity with my play makeup and lipsmackers and this smells just like opening that drawer. This is almost intoxicating and headache inducing if you huff your wrist like I am lmao, nothing about this is natural at all, it’s like synthetic pixelated sugar that seems almost otherworldly. I don’t really know how the notes make it smell like this I guess it’s the toffee. It’s like a cotton candy hologram. It’s weird, it feels surreal and digital and like how you picture femininity and growing up from a little girls point of view. It’s everything girly, magic, and young it’s like a gigantic cloud of blue sugar, that’s the only way I can describe it.
