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.

I love this. Definitely long-lasting. Smells fresh to me-- flowers mostly, but smell a bit of the mango. I think it's perfect and suitable for any age.

So soft and flowery, this is a pretty girl scent. It smells like a pink bouquet, very fresh and comforting. I'm in love with it 🌸🩰

OK maybe it is nectarine and not mango. I've been thinking mango for a while but now i see nectarine listed.

Very fresh and clean. Smells like flowers, and earth after a rain.

Jimmy Choo L'Eau was released in early 2017 and came to Brazilian stores in August of the same year, when I received a bottle. It was the first L'Eau version of the eponymous line, known as Signature, which started by the fragrance in EDP concentration that was launched in 2011 and brought some flankers. Jimmy Choo L'Eau is a fresh, fruity and floral Eau de Toilette, which was created by Juliette Karagueusoglou, perfumer responsible for other successes for brands such as Coach, L'Artisan Parfumeur, Salvatore Ferragamo, YSL, etc. Its fragrance seeks to evoke a radiant femininity through notes of hibiscus flower and bergamot at the top, which blend with notes of nectarine and peony in the heart, and lay down over notes of cedar and musk, incorporating contrasts. The brand says that the concept is to interpret a delicious water of hibiscus in order to "quench thirst". But the truth is that the hibiscus, in perfumery, ends up conferring musk nuances. For this reason, the greatest secret of Jimmy Choo L'Eau – that touches the skin with a fruity explosion, capable of deceiving and causing the brain to imagine notes of lychee or even apricots – is the nectarine. Its almost dairy and succulent facets merge with the floral and fresh aspect of the peonies and result in a cheerful scent. Jimmy Choo L'Eau does not bring a surprising innovation and does not carry any DNA from the original version (by the way, would not be a bad idea). Even so, it is an easy-to-please scent and has a springtime aura, timeless and diurnal, full of versatility. That is, it is that type of fragrance that never goes out of fashion and can be worn by women of all ages, from pre-teen girls to white-haired women who practice yoga and are full of vitality. In terms of projection and durability, it does not disappoint. In view of its composition, you could not expect anything different: it exhales well, especially at the beginning, and then becomes smooth and close to the skin, but lasts for more than eight hours, even on summer days. The visual pattern has been respected and the box continues to bring the snake texture. The bottle, inspired by Murano glass from Venice, has become elongated, but still makes familiarity clear. It is a fragrance with all the characteristics of a good L'Eau in Eau de Toilette concentration. No more, no less.

Ahhh. You know? I'd grab this on clearance on a heartbeat, but it isn't worth the price tag in my opinion (everyone has one of course). I think this has a real watery theme to it, and it feels almost like soapy water...though I mean this in a positive way. This is SO refreshing and it actually has a quiet elegance to it. The nectarine is great, and this feels very much - "Quit while you're ahead!", in that it's restrained and keeps to the namesake of being light. "Hibiscus" can be weird in perfumes, and I don't actually smell it here, but it's an aquatic floral, and the bottle color is absolutely perfect. It's lightly, cool pink. The peony is NOT the stuffy variety, it's very understated, but it actually lasts a little while for being so light, much less so on skin however. It's not unusual or groundbreaking, nor is it particularly memorable, but I find myself enjoying it lingering despite all of that.

Jimmy Choo L’eau is a recent favorite of mine. I’ve been wearing it from time to time since the beginning of Spring. It’s a light fragrance, but it’s pretty and slightly tantalizing. I feel ultra feminine when I wear it, but I always have to carry the bottle because the scent fades quicker than I would like. It’s fine tho. I like to layer JC L’eau with a soft vanilla scented moisturizer. I do think that there are other fragrances that smell similar to this, but I love THIS smell, and I LOVE pink, and I LOVE the elongated bullet bottle. The hibiscus and peony shine so bright for me here, and the back drop of the cedar and Musk is what I believe pulls me in. It’s pretty and sexy...and I always want more. When I’m done with my current bottle, I’m sure that I’ll purchase another.

I just tried this today in Sephora, and it's actually the first Jimmy Choo that I really like. Yes, it is a mildly sweet, demure aquatic fruity floral, but I happen to love aquatic florals. To me, this smells almost exactly like Burberry Brit Rhythm Floral, which I wasn't that impressed with at first, but which grew on me with repeated wearings, to the point where I was craving it. Since Jimmy Choo L'Eau reminds me so much of Brit Rhythm Floral, it gets an immediate thumbs up from me. However, it is fading fast, so I suspect that it will need the full humidity of summer to stay present. Or, rather, I *hope* that humidity will help it stay present. But yes, as others have indicated below, L'Eau is weak sauce, which is too bad because I find it very pretty and wearable.

This is a beautiful scent. Very clean and soft, a cute and slightly fruity floral, definitely a crowd pleaser (at least if someone can smell it). But the longevity is really weak. I sprayed it on a piece of cardboard first and 20 minutes later I almost couldn't smell it already haha. It doesn't cost that much, but I think it's not worth buying since there are very similar scents that have a better performance. Update: I've actually purchased the Body Lotion just to try and get a better performance out of this. Wish me luck. Update 2: I purchased a 40ml bottle (found a great deal online) and I'm actually really happy wearing this in Homeoffice. Also my SO is a big fan of this scent, he finds it "uniquely pretty". I guess, Jimmy Choo won this time haha.

Smelled a carded sample and it smelled fresh, inoffensive and pink. I'm actually interested because the other JC fragrances are too patchouli heavy for my sensibilities and I'm always on the look out for a good office scent that won't send people screaming from me or glaring in offense, LOL! UPDATE: I bought two carded samples for a reasonable price and this is so perfect as an office scent for those who want to wear a fragrance, but have to be careful of scent sensitivities. This is fresh, 'pink' and very safe and although I don't think I'll buy a large bottle, if a rollerball comes out I will buy that.

Golly, this fragrance is pretty. Like fairies in a peach orchard. Light pretty fresh peony and sweet nectarine are the main notes. I am beginning to think I would love peony paired with any fruit. I just love that delicate floral scent. I have to spray it over and over, but the projection is great, as I do smell it around me as I walk outside. But, just like fairies in a peach orchard, it flutters away much too quickly, and does not last for the duration of my long walks. A fun and pretty fragrance, but because it doesn't last as long as I would like, I will not repurchase.

It's hard to see how a perfume like this is going to make a lasting impression on an already congested market full of floral fruity scents (unless you're swayed by pretty bottles, which this one has). Jimmy Choo L'Eau is alright in that you won't smell bad, but it's not particularly original. It's the kind of perfume you might buy for someone and you're not sure what to choose (tip: don't, unless I'm in the shop with you). The hibiscus and the peony work well together, and the peach is well blended. There are many similar fragrances, but it's a safe bet.

I LOVED the scent! It’s some of my favorite notes done really well which pleasantly shocked me since I am not a fan of the Jimmy Choo EDP anymore (just too sweet for me now). Very different notes, I know, but it still has put me off a lot of JC perfumes. This smells like Hawaii, but the longevity problem was an issue so I experimented with layering a few of my other more simple perfumes with it to help it last and deepen. I kept the travel spray I have of this, but parted with the bottle. Good for summer travel.

Just got this as a Christmas present, but I think I will keep it for spring and the warmer months. It is a cute sweet floral, pretty, polite and perfect for every day. Not as sparkling and bright as Bright Crystal which I prefer out of the two. Quiet nice though, and it would be appreciated by people who like sweet floral scents. There is nothing unique or attention grabbing about L'eau, but it doesn't need to be. I will definitely be enjoying my bottle come spring and summer.

A cute fragrance. This one is light, young and pretty. A perfume for people who aren’t into perfume. Very pretty bottle would look great on the vanity of someone who has few other bottles. A nice gift for a teenage girl, it’s a bit more sophisticated than Bath & Body Works or Victoria’s Secret. Inoffensive and office friendly. But sadly only lasts about 2 hours max. Perhaps with this one it’s more about the act of spraying something on from a fancy bottle and feeling posh.

I really LOVE the notes of this perfume, and for half an hour it is the prettiest thing. But then it's just a skin scent and after an hour it totally disappears. Like completely. I can't even detect it where I sprayed it. I have a set with the shower gel and lotion, and even if I layer all three products together I can only get a little bit longer than that. It's so short-lived that it's a shame. It would easily be in my top 10 fragrances if I could just smell it longer.

i really wanted to move this so bad because the hibiscus and peach should be divine in theory. but this was soooo weak. subtle and sweet floral which i liked, but i wish i could call out the hibiscus and peach. lasts 30 seconds and even after accidentally stepping and crushing a decant, releasing the liquid all over my hands and wood floor, it was still almost imperceptible. RIP my decant though

A very enjoyable everyday scent, sweetly floral, soft, it hasn't got much personality but I don't think it's meant to be that kind of fragrance, and sometimes you want to just smell nice but nothing else- not sexy or strong or whatever other perfumes might make you feel. It does have decent lasting power but it is subtle, it's an EDT after all. I'm glad I've got it in my collection.

It’s definitely a nice fresh scent but not more than that. There is nothing special and unique about this perfume. The opening is a bit too alcoholic smelling but it settles down nicely. Overall it’s a nice summertime wear, and i wear it home. Edit: just realized that it smells very similar to Versace bright crystal , which used to be my signature scent for years in my teens.

Light, fresh, floral, and aquatic. It's not doing anything new and amazing, but I really enjoy this fragrance. I'm sensitive to strong scents and L'eau light and inoffensive. It has become an easy reach for every day use in the spring and summer. I usually struggle with longevity on my skin, but this one is actually decent considering it is an EDT.

Strawberries and watery flowers, with a zing from the bergamot, it's youthful but with a stand out alcohol perfumey vibe. Springlike, pretty, daytimey and very reminiscent of a slightly grown up, refined JC Blossom. The peony shows up late. Sweeter and fruitier than JC Illicit Flower, which smells like european herbal toothpaste next to this.

I got this one as a gift to my mother on International Women's Day. She is in love with this one. My personal opinion is that this one is ideal for warm weather, meaning for spring and summer. It's not long lasting, it's neither easily noticeable. If you like to wear intimate perfumes, this may be your good choice.

I blind buy it because I love Brit sheer and like Bright Crystal so I thought I would like this one for sure, but it’s just ok. It doesn’t have any personality, very generic, I’m bored after week already. Very weak, good for gym. Perfect for someone who doesn’t like perfumes but want to smell nice.

Before looking at the notes, I could’ve sworn I smelled strawberries and lime and a hint of white florals. It’s oh so fleeting, great as a linen spray, to the gym, or straight out of the shower. A “your skin but better” type of fragrance. Delicate, airy, inoffensive, and clean.

This is very pretty and fresh, very “girl next door”. I do prefer the start as opposed to the drydown but as the longevity is bad it’s definitely something I respray throughout the day anyway. It gives me a comforting nostalgic feel of summers past.

L'eau is beautiful, with moderate sillage if you go a bit heavy on the sprays. It's fresh, there's a hint of tropical with a nice blend of florals. The hibiscus is beautiful in this. Longevity is not anything special, disappears in 1-2 hours.

Perfectly nice floral, airy scent that feels pretty. Has a note that reminds me of cucumber and it ́s fresh. Cute bottle that ́s suitable for the perfume. I like it but it ́s a little boring and reminds me of many other perfumes.

This is the first Jimmy C. perfume I own. I cannot make up my mind about it...which cannot be that good. It's ok. It does not last all that long. It smells fresh. Smells good. Good for spring. Just not my fav though.

I do love this, it's so pretty and springy. It's quite subtle and it smells best to me at the opening. This makes me understand what people mean when they say a scent is "sparkling". I just wish it lasted longer :(

not a very interesting fragrance but it’s lovely! this smells like fresh petals. delicate, girly, easy to wear and very pretty. i would recommend this for someone who wants a nice and simple floral scent.
