Jimmy Choo Limited Edition Parfum

So I finally wore this alone, at home so I could really focus on how the scent changed on me. It's hard to believe, but honestly I really thought this scent was a bit different than the EDP. Let me just first say I am in love with the EDP. I think it's magical. So of course I had to have the parfum. I have worn the EDP so many times that the scent in ingrained in my mind. I have worn the parfum twice now, and I can confidently say that I get a different vibe from it than from the EDP. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but just different. At first sniff, the parfum is much softer. I was surprised, as I thought it would be much stronger than the EDP. (It's not really.) At first, I was a little disappointed, as I was expecting a blast of sweet patchouli. Instead I got a soft orange, toffee scent. About an hour later, the patchouli just hit me. It was like all of the sudden it developed right in front of me. That sudden hit of patchouli was magical. It instantly became that lovely, gourmand heaven that I expected. During the next four hours, I swear to you it was the most gorgeous patchouli and vanilla creme. There is no vanilla listed but I could clearly smell warm vanilla. It very much reminded me of the drydown stage of Bond No 9 Success is a Job in NY. I couldn't believe my nose. Even my husband, who is a bit smell-challenged, said I smelled like vanilla. Nevertheless, it was amazing. I could not stop sniffing my wrist. Bottom line, the parfum is AMAZING, however I would definitely buy the EDP as well, as I feel they are different enough to warrant having both. Longevity is about 6 hours with the parfum (about 3 for the EDP). Sillage is moderate in both. I'm very happy with my purchase!

I picked this up on Ebay for under 20$ brand new recently. I was thinking I'd give it to my adult daughter since I don't care for the EdP or EdT, and in general I'm not very fond of fruitchoulis or most of the super sweet gourmands that are currently popular. I like this though, more than I'd expected and enough to hold on to it after all. It's soft, rich and round as an extrait should be; sweet but not cloying. I decanted some into a small parfum vial for dabbing which gives me the depth with close sillage as opposed to spraying which has a larger area of effect, so that I can wear my toffee whichever way suits me at any given time. I have the white and it opens with a great orange zest thing on top of the toffee and pear that seems perfect. The floral notes and the patchouli are both very gentle in this to my nose. Lovely creamy drydown, good longevity. My daughter gets something else this time.

This is absolutely beautiful! This fragrance is rich and intoxicating and I feel soooo sexy when wearing it. It seems that everything I disliked about EDP has been removed in this pure parfum. There is something very off-putting about the EDP - I can't pick out the notes specifically but there is something I really dislike in the other version. This parfum however, is divine. It's very warm and creamy. The patchouli balances the sweetness perfectly and adds wonderful depth. The dry-down is pure, deep, toffee-glazed orchid - heaven!

Mm mm.... Heaven! I didn't care for this fragrance the first few times I sprayed it on my wrist but it's evolved into one of my go-to favorites when I want to feel soft and seductive. The top notes are pure caramel toffees (no chemically scents) and a bit of orange zest, which graduates to a slightly fruity, sweet toffee. The dry down brings out all the notes, patchouli, warm spicy, earthy, sweet and a soft, warm floral. Amazed at how few ingredients can bring out such a lovely, heady combination.

I first smelled toffee notes in a perfume when I bought a Jessica Simpson scent which is apparently no longer available (all I remember is it had "toffee" in the name). I loved that scent, but this more intense version of Jimmy Choo is 100% better, so much more sophisticated and extremely long-lasting (the original Jimmy Choo is lovely but not long-lasting enough on me, and had a little too much patchouli). I wish I could afford this one, I tried it once and am addicted.
