Jimmy Choo L'Eau

Edit 2024: I go on to say this isn’t cheap, so over-spraying to make up for longevity is difficult. That’s not the case anymore, this has popped up online regularly for SO cheap, just grab it haha. /end edit I really REALLY love this scent. I sniff the bottle throughout the day to make me happy. This just smells objectively *good.* Completely inoffensive, a beautiful and light fresh fruity floral. Maybe it's my skin chemistry, but I get compliments every time I wear it. My male friend told me: "hopefully this isn't weird, but you smell so pretty." It's very sparkly, and juicy without being sweet in any way (edit to say, watery is probably what I'm looking for here.) I personally think the nectarine is a bit pear-like in this, or maybe apple? The musk and cedar base notes keep it from being to sour. It's very linear, there's not really a developing scent with this which brings me to my next point. (Edit to add: I should say it's linear beyond the initial citrus, it dries down to a musky hibiscus skin-scent) This had absolutely no lasting power as others have said, and it's so disappointing. It lasts significantly longer on clothes, so at least that's a positive. For the price however I would expect far better longevity, it's not a cheap EDT. Also, I NEED it to last longer because I'm so in love! Other commenters have said it's uninspired, that it's been done before a million different ways and better. I would implore them to tell me where, because I've ran around sniffing every fruity-floral that could be compared to this and none of them are filling the void. I was attempting to find something similar enough with better sillage and longevity but it's just not happening. To me, it's nothing like any of the perfumes that are listed here as similar. So overall, I will continue to buy this and respray it as many times as I need to per day, because it's such an uplifting scent and I just can't let it go.

Since I tried it in 2018 on vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico... I fell in love... I bought it without hesitation and I am quite difficult when it comes to perfumes... It is delicious, fresh, floral, fruity and light with a sweetness that is perceived as the nectarine and the flowers, the bergamot goes unnoticed for me but it gives it some freshness without being a visible citrus note. As some describe it, it is a youthful aroma, although I am not so young anymore I feel renewed...so I would say that anyone can use it, especially if you do not like heavy and overloaded perfumes or those that smell like an old lady. (no offense). I would like it to be more intense, but it is an Eau de toilette, it has little hold and after an hour you can hardly feel it, but it is still one of my favorites in recent years. I have tried others from Jimmy Choo but this is one of my favorites along with Rose Passion. Scent of summer and spring, sunny and fresh. Little sexy too in the most light and pleasant way...I always take it with me wherever I go for a trip.

Jimmy Choo L’Eau is, as the name suggests, light and watery, so don’t expect depth and longevity. It is only an Eau de Toilette after all. It is perfect though as a refreshing spritzer to make you feel clean and cool. JC L’eau is extremely pretty but so light, that I found by layering it over the matching body lotion or after using Versace Bright Crystal (pink) shower gel, it does actually perform quite well. JC L’eau doesn’t smell as cheap or artificial as the Bright Crystal fragrance. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fond of Bright Crystal, but I find many Versace fragrances are of pretty poor quality, even though I enjoy many of them. JC L’eau suits a cool autumn day as well as a summer scorcher. You won’t find a prettier, more romantic bottle either. The pink glittery facets do indeed resemble a floral cordial in a gorgeous Murano glass.

The weekly flyer for shoppers drug Mart (shout out to my fellow Canadians, eh!) came out he other day and this was in there and I really thought nothing of it, every Jimmy Choo fragrance I have smelled I thoroughly hated so I paid no attention to it. Until today that is! While perfume window shopping/smelling today at SDM I went to reach for those little cards you spray perfume on and rather than the cheap plain white rectangular ones they normally have out there was one for this perfume in the shape of a flower and pale pink in color. It was enough to peak my interest so I wandered over to the display for it, and much to my surprise I fell madly in smelly love. While it's not anything ground breaking it is absolutely lovely. If you are into light aquatic florals this would be love at first sniff!!!

Yes, it is fleeting and soft, but by layering the EDT over the matching body lotion I find that sillage is about arm’s length, and I get about 4 hours of actual scent before fading. Which is about where the fragrance should have been. Oh well, the body lotion has a nice consistency and is pretty reasonable in price. JC L’eau is great for hot days right through to Autumn. A pretty, versatile, office friendly and inoffensive fragrance in an adorable sparkly pale pink bottle. This would be a lovely gift for a child’s first fragrance, and at least set them on the path to appreciating something better than sugary chemical cartoon kiddy fragrances.

I love this perfume so much, first received as a gift I didn’t often wear it but then I started wearing it to school and it’s amazing Just a simple light sweet scent and it was perfect for everyday wear! It is a little basic but it’s so pretty Another downside is that it does not last long at all, after two or three hours you can’t smell it unless you’re right up to the skin... although even after a long time and after washing, up-close the skin smells so lovely it just reminds me of a muted pink colour as a scent. and the faint smell it leaves on clothing is also so good

I found a brand new bottle the 90ml size on eBay for $11.65 CAD with a super low shipping cost since I didn’t live too far from that province. This is love. This is girly. This is fresh. It’s lightly and spring and summery. It’s simply beautiful. ‘Nuff said !!!! Lol You have to like ones like bright crystal, addict2, poppy flower, things with a good good peony note to it! This is so beautiful. I do wish it would last longer and be stronger but I don’t know if that would take away all the good I love about it!!!

I purchased one of those sampler boxes from Shoppers Drug Mart and this was one of the ten options in it and I did pick this one. So I couldn’t figure out why it seemed familiar and then I come on here to give my review and saw that Britt Sheer and Bright Crystal are listed as similar scents and those two are two of my favourite perfumes lol and I much agree they are very much alike! It’s that fruity floral fresh scents. I do love this, but it is very light.

This is my signature scent and my most complimented fragrance I own. There’s something about it that everyone loves, it’s clean, sweet, floral, and slightly sexy in an inoffensive way. It’s not in your face but it performs well and I’ve never worn it in public without receiving compliments from men and women both. I honestly don’t have enough good things to say about this one. It’s timeless.

Wow! Love love love! This gorgeous perfume sprays on floral, but in less than a minute turns into a beautiful aqua scent. I don’t know how else to describe it. It is what I have admired on others, but whenever I tried them (Armani Aqua di Gio, Davidoff Cool Water, etc) they immediately turn sour on my skin. This one though ... happy sigh ... is divine 🥰

Perfectly sparkling and pretty. Top notes are fruity and sweet. Dry-down is pretty, unoffensive, sparkly and fruity/floral mix. Super happy with this purchase! The bottle is simply gorgeous as well. Lasting power is medium...I feel like I'll need to re-apply at least once or twice throughout the day, but that's ok because it's just such a pretty scent!

One year later and this is still my easy summer errands scent. Super musky, clean, and light. Yes, a bit generic and youthful but doesn’t get old to me because now you can find it at a good discount! Sometimes I even spray my bedding when I want my bedroom to feel clean and girly. Wouldn’t hurt to try it if you’re looking for an easy throw-on option.

I love L’Eau it is my favourite in the Jimmy Choo range, it is the perfect spring and summer perfume. I am rather concerned that it has been discontinued as it no longer appears on the Jimmy Choo website and many of the high street stores in the uk, such as Boots, no longer stock it. So that will be another of my favourites that have died a death

Lovely fruity floral scent. Doesn't last too long but it is good for the warmer months. Lasts longer on clothes. Even if the longevity is not that great, I don't regret buying it and will just reapply as needed. This is my first Jimmy Choo fragrance and definitely will not be the last. Overall, I love this fragrance!

Much much better then I ever expected! WOW Reminds Dior Addict, only softer, warmer- I find L' eau better. So quality is not always just about the price. Silage and longevity is surprisingly good. As a bonus: cute design on the bottle. Pleasant to hold it in the hands, to put fingers in those glass holes..lol 10/10

I admit it's not the most interesting perfume out there, but for some reason I am addicted to this stuff! I get mostly floral and mango (which I keep thinking is nectarine), and I swear there has to be a salty aquatic note in there somewhere. Hint of musk at the end and fortunately for me not too strong.

I got this as a 16th birthday gift, and I've loved it ever since. It's a warm, dry floral (but not a white floral!) with a sweetness from the nectarine note. It's a very classy scent, like a pair of pearl earrings. It lasts very well, but it doesn't project so much as to be obtrusive. 🌺🩷

It smells so so good but the silage on it is so weak that you'd have to douse yourself in it to get anything more than putting-your-nose-on-the-spot-you-sprayed-it intimate, probably something to buy on sale for that reason

Smells lovely. The hibiscus, peony and nectarine are the stars of this perfume. Yes, it smells sweet but not sickly sweet. Super safe for work. Got compliments on it several times. So sad it does not last well.

I really really love this one. The Soft floral, powdery, and fresh scent makes you smell like a fresh bouquet yet not so pungent on the nose. Great for day and night wear.
