Jimmy Choo Exotic (2014)

Being a fan of the original Jimmy Choo, I decided to give this spin-off a try. I was not disappointed. I already love the original Choo scent and this is just that but with a zingy tropical twist; it reminds me of a grapefruit juice I had on a holiday once. The orange bottle also looks divine when it catches the light. Staying power is pleasing (around six hours) and sillage is excellent; a family member could smell this upon immediately entering a room I was in.

If you are a fan of the original Jimmy Choo (which I am), you will love this one! It has a similar smell to it but has a tropical fruity twist to it! I cannot wait to wear it out! I am excited because I was able to find the 3.3 ounce bottle for $59.00, not bad given that it just came out this year and it is a Jimmy Choo fragrance! I LOVE IT! I think men will adore it on women, great gift for that special lady in your life!

Oh, this is full of grapefruit. Fresh grapefruit juice when sniffed up close, patchouli from a distance, mild cotton candy (as mentioned below) when it flows around you. It's a little sweet in the dry down from the sugared raspberries, but quite sour and a wee bit bitter when attentive. I think I love this more than I did when I recieved it five or so years ago.

I was just gifted this exact bottle with exact notes also and it's said to be an edt. My Aunt got it for me from Macy's. So do they put one out every year with the only difference being the year added? So for instance mine would be "Jimmy Choo Exotic 2023"??? Just wanted to know if I got it right? Lol

Sooooo.... I think I adore this? I'm sniffing my wrists constantly and occasionally it goes a bit strange, but when it doesn't... it's so lovely. When I smell this, oddly, I am reminded a little of Eau Vive. Similar grapefruit notes.
